[QUOTE="TJV, post: 569517, member: 4300"] Michael Rodney at Packer Update has the following suggestions to improve the defense. A couple are obvious and I disagree with one but IMO he makes some good points. Here’s his list: 1) Start Jamari Lattimore 2) Sign Ryan Pickett 3) Play Mike Daniels less 4) Bench Morgan Burnett 5) Give Nick Perry more snaps 6) Use Sean Richardson vs. the pass 7) Put Jayrone Elliott on 46 8) Bring down Dom [I](Don’t get too excited about #8, he means bringing Dom down onto the sideline.)[/I] [url]http://packerupdate.net/?p=35854[/url] Check the site for his explanation of each one, I want to focus in on one idea I think makes all kinds of sense. We’ve talked some about using 3 safeties but Rodney suggests using Richardson as an ILB vs. the pass. Of course Richardson isn’t as big as Jones and Hawk but, “He’s nearly as big as one and he probably hits a lot harder than Jones and Hawk. More importantly, he has the athleticism to challenge tight ends and receivers and the speed to keep yards after the catch to a minimum.” The most we can probably hope for IMO is they’ll replace B. Jones. Lattimore is the obvious choice (Barrington backs up Hawk) but Richardson would offer better coverage skills and if the D suffers even more vs. the run (hard to imagine I know) have Barrington replace Hawk. One of the many problems the Packers had at Seattle was making personnel substitutions while the Seahawks were using a hurry up offense. (It’s a problem the Packers would like to cause defenses too). That’s why the new 4-3 uses the same personnel as the base 3-4 – no substitutions have to be made. Richardson’s versatility would help to alleviate the problem of substitutions vs. hurry-up offenses. Also, although it was only one game I think the sooner Clinton-Dix is on the field full time, the better. Yes he missed tackles but I think he'll adjust and become the best tackler at safety. That too would help the run D. [/QUOTE]
