You think the Packers success against the run will continue?

Last year the Green Bay Packers' run defense also got off to a strong start, and at this time in 2015 ranked No. 6 in the NFL in rushing yards allowed. It finished the season No. 22.

So it’s fair to wonder if the same fate awaits coordinator Dom Capers’ surprisingly stout run defense that after three games ranks No. 1 in fewest yards allowed per game and per carry.

And the prediction here is, no. If you look at why the Packers are stopping the run, and if you throw in the imminent return of suspended defensive lineman Mike Pennel, there’s good reason to think this could remain a top-five run defense to season’s end.

Dom has been doing it with smoke and mirrors.

You've got Perry and Jones, both of whom I like very much, but neither can really cover. They're run stuffing elephants, not true OLBs. Both of them should be 4-3 DEs.

Then consider also that they've got the DBs peeking into the backfield, which helps support the run, but at the expense of giving up big plays in the passing game. THAT needs to stop, because teams are seeing it on film. Rest assured Giants HC and former Packers OC Ben McAdoo has taken note of this and his trio of Victor Cruz, Odell Beckham and that other dude are ready to take full advantage.

They just need to hold it together until Pennell gets back, so that's one more week.

As long as Perry stays healthy. Him and Daniels have been destroying running games. Clay looks like he's making more plays against the run than he had been lately outside as well. Once we get Pennel back and hopefully Clark starts coming on that's a good looking group.

Just because he's always been good against the run doesn't mean he's just a run stuffer. It's not smoke and mirrors either, Dom likes playing nickel defense. Clay is the prototype of OLB you are talking about and even before he went to ILB he wasn't often used in coverage. We basically do play a 4-3 we just have the edge guys standing up.

The run D isn't as good as the stats show at this time. They are not the best run D in the league, I would expect them to be top 10 though by the end of the season. Unless the secondary doesn't improve and teams just continue to throw on us. Need to balance out the run and pass D to be a good overall defense and team.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them
