[QUOTE="wizard 87, post: 245229, member: 1244"] Nice article by the JSONLINE. [url=http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/45873682.html]Work begins on Packers' new defense - JSOnline[/url] DE - We have good DEs for the system. You want unselfish guys that can occupy blockers who aren't concerned with their sack totals. I think Jenkins, Pickett, Raji, and Jolly (and Harrell, if he's healthy) all fit the bill. Most of those guys were DTs, so they haven't been relied upon for sacks. NT - Pickett and Raji are both big DTs who won't get washed out by an OL.
