Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunshinepacker" data-source="post: 666606" data-attributes="member: 9033">This makes perfect sense. The ILB position will be better than it was last year and the defense was plenty good enough last year. When I read team's biggest weakness I think, "what position has the potential to hold the team back the most". ILB, while lacking strong players, isn't a position on a team that really has enough impact to "hurt" a team. Packers had the 12th best scoring defense in the NFL last year and the ILB position should be better next season.Wide receiver on the other hand was terrible and really hurt the offense. Packers didn't do anything to improve that group if Nelson gets hurt again or, hesitate to even mention this, Nelson's injury lowers his level of play next year. Yes, the author forgot about Montgomery but the simple fact that people are bringing up a guy who played in 6 games and had 15 catches for 196 yards as a point of contention should tell you all you need to know about the WR position.Basically comes down to, does weak ILB play hurt the team more than weak WR play? Answer to that was demonstrated quite clearly last year. Weak ILB play doesn't really affect the defense even a fraction as much as weak WR play hurts the offense.</blockquote>
