commentary...

the first week of Packers' practice has been enlightening to everyone... the offense has been sharp,and the defense has had a major chip on its shoulder,based on the physicality of the first practice in pads... the defensive backfield may be young in experience,but they will be improved... note:when Dom Capers arrived in Green Bay,as defensive coordinator,the Packers' defense was not too good,but the defense,in 2010,helped to win Super Bowl XLV,but injuries(Nick Collins),and free agency losses(Cullen Jenkins,to Philadelphia;now in New York,with the Giants) took off the edge off the defense(actually too much of a dulling of edge that the Packers' defense gave up more yards that the Packers' offense gained,in 2011,even though the Packers were 15-1,and won every game that they led going into the fourth quarter,a 15-0 record,on that point),so Capers had to basically rebuild the defense,and have a nastiness to the defense that was there,in 2010,and from the first week of training camp,it appears that the edge may be back... maybe???
