Well we don't play an actual 3 man line often. Now with Jenkins out and Zombo doubtful, who should play where when we do? Do we keep Raji inside, with Pickett and Greene outside, or should we shift Raji.

Raji is now our 2nd best pass rusher, I think they should move him ouside with Greene on the nose. Leaving Pickett on the other side. I don't think it would hurt our run stopping at all, while giving a better pass rush, when NE passes from a run situation.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Pickett...Green...Raji.

I don't agree with the bit about Raji being our best pash rusher -- to my mind, Raji has not played especially dynamically this year. I've seen more plays by Green, and a lot more by Pickett.

But I think the best the Packers can do now, is rely on their remaining LBs (plus the amazing Chuck) to fly in after the big three fat guys completely occupy the opposing OL's time.

No doubt the team is going to miss Jenkins big time, but I"d rather go with three over-stouts each occupying two guys.

The biggest problem is that you can't play 3 over-stouts 50 plays each. It's the other plays where the worry comes in with Brady.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I wouldn't move Raji at all. The nose tackle is the most important defensive lineman in the 3-4 defense. Raji should stay where he belongs. Frankly, Green Bay will need to rely on the scheme for pressure and not their players. When I say that, I mean Green Bay will have to out scheme New England's offense.

Furthermore, Tom Brady is tough enough to beat without a running game. I would prefer to stop the run and hope that Green Bay's DBs can matchup on New England's WRs.

This defense has the ability to slow the New England offense down. Unfortunately, with the current QB problem, the Packers' offense will not be able to hit 20 points in this game IMO. Because of that, even holding New England to 24-27 points will prove to be not enough.

Last 4 games Packer D has given up 3, 20, 16, & 7.

Can't wait for this game to be played, let's see what happens, A great Defense usually slows down a Great offense.

Packers 17- Pats 16.

The reason Raji hasn't gotten a whole lot of sacks is because he's a NT. Typically you don't see a NT getting a bunch of sacks. His job is eat up double teams and stop the run (which has been great at all year).

I agree. Raji has been solid this year, his first full season of significant action.
