Why do people think the Packers need to suddenly turtle-up in the 4th quarter to try and keep a victory? The Packers don't feature some elite defense that can prevent above-average offenses from scoring while they try and hide their defense by pounding a huge guy into the line.Packers, last year, gave up 34 points to the Eagles (and lost because Adams got hurt), 24 to the Cowboys, Raiders, and Chiefs, 26 to the Chargers, and 37 (twice) to the 49ers. Yes, you can certainly hope the defense improves (because you can't rely on playing the Bears, Vikings, Panthers, and Giants in the playoffs) but that's not a certainty.AJ Dillon is probably the best short-yardage and goalline back on the team right now. Otherwise, it's still most likely that he is worse than Aaron Jones at running between the 5s, pass blocking, and catching. He'll be very nice to have in years 2-4 of his contract, I just don't think the team needed to draft a RB that high. I would also point out that the Packer's oline is much better at pass blocking than run blocking, so that needs to be considered as well when discussing the RB.</blockquote>
