I think the talent on this D is made for a talent-specific deployment, referred to by Gannon. Parsons, Cooper and Williams have the innate ability, and athleticism, to always be around the ball and to sense where the ball or a player is going.
Don't forget Jamon Dumas-Johnson sitting lower on the ILB depth chart... 6'-1", 238 lbs, 4.6 40, 8.99 RAS.
I didn't even know he was on the team!
Dumas was a good pickup and went UDFA. Although not a huge surprise his consensus was that RD7 area.
That makes sense. And Georgia has certainly been a farm club for the Packers, and a few other teams I think.
The Packers want to "finish games better in 2026"? Ya think?

Yes, GB is runnjng a 3-4 base D, which is why a HUGE NT is needed prior to camp unless Stackhouse, Riley or Ford are ready for the big time.
I didn't know Stackhouse came from Georgia, thanks OS. Georgia runs a great program and a good number of their players are in the NFL, as any GB fan should know.
We're so lucky to be fans of a stable franchise. I don't know how some people would be if they were fans of teams like Vegas or The Jets.
Yeah some fans get a little too carried away with rage at times. Yeah, the ending of this season sucked. But we can talk about what changes we need to make peacefully, without the name calling and sometimes downright hatred.
The ending of the last two seasons sucked.
This is true too, can't deny that. The ones that parade around that Lafleur and Gute can do no wrong are just as bad as the ones that want to fire everybody for one bad call or free agent signing, IMO.
I think most of us here have a level of understanding it is HARD to win a Superbowl. But it's HOW we lost, for five straight games, that had people upset. Let's discount the Vikings game to end the season, as that was an intentional throw. The sloppy, uninspired, lack-of-effort was INFURIATING. We supposedly are close, talent wise, because we pushed a lot of chips in to acquire Parsons.
I certainly don't hate anyone, nor do I think it's easy to win a Super Bowl. There was talk awhile back about how the odds of any random team winning was 1/32 (put VERY simply). But it IS still the objective, nonetheless.
Good reasoning on Policy's part. I admit I was hoping for a change at HC, and with the org structure. So I was not happy when Policy made his decisions to extend MLF and Gluten and maintain the same org structure.
You're right and it makes me wonder how some teams can be so consistently bad - the Jets seem to be at the top, but there are plenty of others, including until recently, Da Bearz. MN and Detroit have yet to win a SB, and there's a pretty clear path of lousy FO management. The Bills fall in this group.
I know you don't buy into it, but those ARE the odds, if all teams were equal. They are not. Some teams have no championships, some teams are beating the 1/32 by a good measure. But from a pure mathematical standpoint, those are the odds, at least since there have been 32 teams. Anyway, I would certainly not call 1/32 easy, not by any means. I don't see how anyone could say 1/32 was easy.
Interesting stuff. If the Rozelle rule worked perfectly, it would give each team a 1/32 chance of winning the SB in any given year. And by the Rozelle Rule I'm referring to each of the 32 teams having the same amount of $$$ (the cap) to spend on players.
