An interesting caveat for the rest of camp is how the team will adjust to the mostly new regime. It’s worth noting that the defense, which has looked dominant in both individual and team drills at times, is one of the more stable aspects of the team. This is due in large part to the return of Mike Pettine as defensive coordinator. In his first year, Green Bay’s defense went from 26th to 22nd in points allowed and from 22nd to 18th in yards. They also added Za’Darius Smith, Preston Smith, Adrian Amos and first-round draft picks Rashan Gary and Darnell Savage. If this unit can stay healthy, the dominance shown early in camp should translate to the regular season and help the Packers contend in ateam is yet to be seen.

Green Bay needed the changes that LaFleur has brought with him. The culture was stale and now there is a new sense of life in Titletown. All in all, the NFC North may be one of the best divisions in football. Chicago has a stacked defense and a talented enough offense to not lose many games. Minnesota looks to reclaim its stake as a dominant force as well. Even Detroit has weapons that can cause problems when the stars align. The journey to Super Bowl LIV is officially underway with the start of training camp and you shouldn’t be surprised if Green Bay is in the mix to win the trophy named for its most famous coach.
