A position that made a BIG step with the signing a few years back of Smith & Smith!
(PS: This is where I argue with Aaron Rodgers - Brian Gutekunst has made some good moves, he never mentions the positives!)
OK, back on track.
Za'Darius Smith 6'4" - 272 lbs - Year 7
Preston Smith 6'5" - 265 lbs - Year 7
Rashan Gary 6'5" - 277 lbs - Year 3
Tipa Galeai 6'5" - 229 lbs - Year 1
Jonathan Garvin 6'4" - 257 lbs - Year 2
Ray Wilborn 6'3" - 240 lbs - Year 1
Delontae Scott 6'5" - 246 lbs - Year 1
Chancey Rivers 6'2" - 259lbs - Year 1
The Addition of Za'Darius Smith & Preston Smith has made the last few years work on the defensive side of the football! As I said a great move by the Packer GM and the drafting of Rashan Gary is beginning to pay dividends. As a team, our defense seems to be solid at the outside LB position! Smith, Smith & Gary - now we need 1-2 of he others to help! Especially helping with special teams!
The leader of the group - Za'Darius Smith, should continue! 2019 - 13.5 Sacks & 2020 - 12.5 Sacks. This should continue. As a Packer Fan, you have in in memory the Packers getting ripped by opposite teams running attacks! Part of this, comes from our old DC Petine defensive game plans & players giving BIG holes as they pass rush! Preston Smith just was not the same last year, he even took a pay cut! Will he rebound this year? 2019 - 12 Sacks & 2020 - 4 Sacks. This will be a make or break year for Preston Smith! Rashan Gary, on the other hand took a positive step - 2019 - 2 Sacks & 2020 - 5 Sacks. Be nice to get double digits this year & some other BIG plays!
The battle for #4 OLB will be big! Jonathan Garvin, Tipa Galeai, Chancey Rivers, Ray Wilborn, & Delontae Scott will battle it out! It would be great to have 2 of these players make the team & be stand out special team players!!!
Go Pack Go!
