Obviously, the defense needs to improve from last season. But just how much improvement is needed considering our offense? Top-ten defenses comprise 38 of the 46 Super Bowl winners. But, at the same time, 15 of the most recent 24 Super Bowl teams boasted top-ten offenses.
I personally believe the Packers only need to return to respectability - i.e. have an average defense in order to truly contend for the Super Bowl. Basically, this means the middle point between our 2010 and 2011 defenses. Our offense is so lethal that we don't need to field a top-10 defense. At the same time, as we showed last season, we also can't have a terrible defense. With early reports from camp, it seems the defense is on its way to fielding an average defense, if not better. I'm anxious to see how Perry, Worthy, Hayward, etc. play when the real action starts tomorrow.
I break this down a little further in our most recent post: http://wp.me/p29VCs-9o.
But, what are your takes on how good our defense needs to be?
