all about da packers
Cheesehead
I'm surprised this didn't get a thread...
A tidbit from JSOnline's Greg Bedard:

Interesting IMO. My initial guess would be that the Packers might have incorporated a 3-4 package into their D, which would be pretty neat. I wonder who the D-line personnel might be for such a package though.
Prehaps Jenkins, Pickett, Montgomery/Kampman from left to right? Harrell might be able to line up at RE instead of Jenkins if healthy.
The LB personnel seems prefect though. Hawk and Poppinga on the outside, with Popp being the pass-rushing threat. Barnett and Chillar on the inside, Chillar's versatility at the LB spot comes in handy here.
I wonder what down and distance the Packers would think about employing the package with 4 LBs (may not necessarily be a 3-4 package), and do we actually have the D-Line personnel to run a 3-4?
A tidbit from JSOnline's Greg Bedard:
Without divulging what the situation and other personnel were, the Packers had four linebackers on the field at one point: Brandon Chillar, A.J. Hawk, Nick Barnett and Brady Poppinga. I saw that on more than one occasion during the mini-camp.
