[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 870362, member: 12283"] The Packers base defense right now is dime. I would prefer that they run more nickel, but that's not realistic as it would require them to find a true linebacker with some real cover skills. That ship has sailed for 2020. So dime it remains. So if they're going to run it, then they had better make sure they have the personnel they need for it! We all know that Alexander, King, Williams, Amos, and Savage played a ton of snaps last year, but Chandon Sullivan (350), Will Redmond (271), Ibraheim Campbell (181), Josh Jackson (103), Raven Greene (70), Oren Burks (57), Tony Brown (47), and Kadar Hollman (4) accounted for 1,083 snaps on defense! Now some of those snaps were guys playing in injury relief, but a lot of them happened because we ran so much dime (plus some quarter)-- especially when it comes to guys like Campbell, Greene, and Burks. If the Packers could find a quality dime linebacker, they would upgrade their production for a lot of snaps. And then on top of that, they either need to resign Tramon Williams or replace him. If they replace him, doing so with a "big nickel"-- i.e. a safety body type that can play slot corner-- might be a good idea. That's what the Saints did last year with Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, and it worked quite well. That's why I bring up guys like K'von Wallace and Terrell Burgess. [/QUOTE]
