Packers Defense - Are They a Super Bowl Defense?

 Is this Packer Defense a Super Bowl Defense?

Let's go back to 2010 Packer Super Bowl Champs

LDE - Ryan Pickett

NT - BJ Raji

RDE - Howard Green

DE - CJ Wilson

LOLB - Clay Matthews

LILB - AJ Hawk

RILB - Desmond Bishop

ROLB - Frank Zombo

LCB - Charles Woodson

FS - Nick Collins

RCB - Tramon Williams

This was not a game changing, NFL elite defense!  Clay Matthews was a player.  Charles Woodson was in his prime and a future Hall of Fame player.  BJ Raji was a very good run stopper.  AJ Hawk was a scrappy inside linebacker.  Nick Collins was a better than average NFL safety.  The other players, good roll players, but not All Pros!  So, looking back, a GOOD defense, but not GREAT!

The 2020 Packer Defense:

NT - Kenny Clark

DE - Dean Lowry

DE - Kingsley Keke (Tyler Lancaster)

OLB - Preston Smith

OLB - Za'Darius Smith

ILB - Christian Kirksey

ILB - Krys Barnes

CB - Jaire Alexander

CB - Kevin King

S - Adrain Amos

S - Darnell Savage

First look, not a scary defense!  Some 2020 All Pros - Jaire Alexander at CB & Za'Darius Smith at OLB.  My gut says Alexander may be a future great one.  Z Smith, is very good, but not scary good.  Kenny Clark is a very good DT, but needs help, Lowry, injured Keke, and sub Lancaster, are not dangerous.  Inside linebacker average at best, the young Barnes could be a diamond in the rough, but a rookie!  Amos & Savage are better than average & Savage could be a VERY good one, but young.  Savage has been making big plays.  

As I see it, a good defense, but must be working at their VERY BEST to get us to the promise land!
