Positionally, this is the breakdown:DL: 554 (2.45)ED: 449 (1.99)LB: 416 (1.84)CB: 615 (2.7)S: 452 (2.0)What this illustrates is that the Packers are a nickel base defense (2 iDL, 2 ED, 2 LB, 3 CB, 2 S), but will occasionally go heavy on the line for obvious reasons (goal line, short yardage). Barry's defense always plays with 2 edge defenders: Smith, Gary, Garvin, and Enagbare. These guys are only called "linebackers" on the roster because Green is technically a 3-4 base. If we were a 4-3 base, they would be called "defensive ends."</blockquote>
