If you guys need a big sack, a turnover or a red zone stop I feel you can get it.Not as confident with the Patriots in doing those things all the time unless the opposing offense just makes a big mistake.I would not worry so much about the rankings. D's are pretty crappy right now everywhere. Your numbers will rise. And it's not like it matters. The Colts won a SB after having the last ranked run D in the league.I think teams are going to pass against you guys as well and often to try and get quick scores and to keep up with your offense. Your offense normally seems to get off to a fast start. (outside the Panthers game but even then you came back and they had to catch up). Many teams likely go into a game against Green Bay thinking they need to score early and score a lot early.Granted your pass D still can improve. I just would not press the panic button just yet. The talent is better then NE. And since you are tougher to run on they have no choice.The easier way to slow down the Pack offense is to do what teams always did to the Colts, run and run and run some more and keep Rodgers off the field. But, your team can stop the run well so offenses are more limited.</blockquote>
