[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 866853, member: 12283"] I'll give you my thoughts, but it's not like I'm re-watching every Packer game and breaking down the tape. I think the Smith brothers are pretty good run defenders, but they both definitely had a bad game against SF in the NFCCG. They couldn't hold the edge against the 49ers blockers. The good news is that Gary, if he develops into his projection, will be a very strong POA run defender, and he's already in the pipeline. They certainly need better rotational depth on the defensive line. Lowry is solid, but he too had a poor showing against SF. He's not going to 2 gap and he isn't really disruptive as a penetrator. The quickest way to shut down a zone rushing attack is to create disruption in the backfield. They don't really have anyone who can do that. Adams was meant to be that guy and hasn't developed. Keke may get there-- we have to wait and see. They could add a guy like that, but it will be expensive. They could also add more of a block-eater run specialist who could then free up Clark for more one on one opportunities. That's probably a more cost effective approach. Pettine's approach prioritizes the pass defense. He will say that himself. His players play the run on the way to the QB, and there is minimal two gapping. Now that said, he very obviously changed his approach for the SF game. He's not an idiot. But we didn't have the personnel to pull off the change in approach. His guys got it totally handed to them.
