Defensive Fire

Everything I'm reading about the defense says that they're with more fire and less confusion. What stands out to me is the fact that they're actually making plays--tipping balls, picking off passes, forcing fumbles, etc.

Nick Barnett is evolving from a middle linebacker to a team leader. Hopefully, he doesn't bring back that stupid dance every time he makes a tackle. Nick Collins is a stud, and it's only a matter of time before he takes over one of the safety positions. Ahmad Carroll and Cletidus Hunt even earned some praise from the coaches.

It's too early to tell, but I think our defense will be much better this year. I'm going to step out on the limb and say that the Packers D finishes in the top 15 in the league.
