It's not that way for other teams, for the Bears the key thing is to not give up big plays and to be able to generate pressure and sacks with a 4 man front, the Jets prefer to play close coverage and force sacks...).This Packers D will never be great at tackling, it'll never be great at shutting down opponents, it's not how they operate. Don't get me wrong, they have to do a much better job on 3rd downs and particularly on communication. But they'll always be aggressive, going for the pick and for the fumble, and that leads to some big plays given.</blockquote>
