A 3-4 defense doesn’t work when you have no big brutal fast LBs.

I mean seriously. You wonder why Packers get gashed? Their LBs can’t stop run and can’t cover  

Packers organization has NEVER done well at grooming LBs in the last 10+ years. They got lucky with Matthews and he really only had 2-3 decent years before being completely soft and overrated. 

So you are asking the Packers to do something they simply aren’t designed to do.

When you play in an even front, your LBs are usually on the lighter side.  You're playing them side-to-side.  Your ILBs have to be bigger in order to hold up against the run, because you don't have the big guys ahead of them.  And the bigger your LBs are, usually the worst they are in coverage.  There's only a handful of LBs who are good in coverage AND run support.  The big guys in front are the keys to LB play.

Watching the Niners defense, it is very clear GB needs to get more speed and athleticism at DE and ILB. Can't truly have a good defense until they get some actual athletes up front. Lancaster, Lowry, Martinez, Goodson...yuck

They NEED to bulk Gary up to 295-300 and put him inside with Clark.  He'd be a beast inside with his athleticism.

Are you saying we shouldn't have?  Because we clearly should have. 

Of course Dom should have been let go after the 2012 debacle in the NFC Championship game.

Yet the Packers somehow continued to employ Dome even after the 2016 NFC Championship embarrassment.

Loyalty, continuity, consistency ... those have been the buzz words of the Packers organization since 2011 -- not accountability or productivity.

Who knows maybe things will be different under Gute/MLF.

That has been the story for last 10 years.

This isn’t anything new. Same story under Capers. I remember the 49ers under Harbaugh calling our defense “soft” and not “physical”.

Plus Pack don’t have the cap space to go sign any decent FA spending spree at LB.

Good. Keep the clock moving and keep the Niners offense off the field so they can't run up the score some more. It's already embarrassing enough. 34 points allowed and their QB has thrown only 6 passes

Samuel for 16 when GB had a punt to pin them deep

Samuel for 30 on thSF first scoring drive

Mostert for -4 on a nice tackle by Savage.....sets up 3rd and 8, Mostert with a TD run

Bourne got stopped by Williams on a 3rd down.  

 

The full set of the SF pass completions.  All 4 of them and they are up 34-7
