The Green Bay Packers’ magical Super Bowl run in 2010 was made possible by the spectacular play by the team’s defense. Acme Packing
Company will take a look at how the defense in 2019 compares to the 2010 defense
after each quarter of this season. Both teams were 3-1 through the first four
games.Over 2018 to 2019
Bryan Bulaga Jersey White , the biggest upgrade the Packers have seen is the defense as a whole. Through four games, the defense has created the highest
QB pressure rate in the league and has taken the ball away in each game.
Additions like Za’Darius Smith, Adrian Amos, and Preston Smith through free
agency along with draft picks Kevin King, Jaire Alexander and Darnell Savage
have completely revitalized this side of the ball.Throughout the first quarter
of the season, The Green Bay Packers defense has been drawing comparisons to the
2010 Packers team that won the championship built on their stout pass rush and
their ball hawking ability. Sounds a bit like the current defense doesn't
it?Here’s a look at the preferred starting lineups for both squads early in the
season.Starting LineupsPosition20102019Position20102019Defensive ComparisonYards
Per Game In 2019 The Packers defense are 11th in total yards, allowing 1,321 in
four games which is an average of 330.25 in each game. In 2010 they allowed
1,213 averaging 303.25 a game. Right away you see the defense is on pace with
the championship team. Passing YardsIn coverage the 2019 Packers are 3rd in pass
defense with 752 yards allowed and 4 touchdowns. That averages out to 188 yards
per game. The 2010 squad allowed 740 yards through the air with 185 a game with
4 touchdowns. They are again strong in the passing game making life difficult
for opposing quarterbacks, which is turning into takeaways. In the
secondary
http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-kentrell-brice-jersey , Jaire Alexander is looking like a shutdown corner like Charles Woodson. The rest
of the defensive backs continue to play smart football and make the right plays
when it matters. Rushing YardsThis is the major area of concern in 2019, as the
Packers are 26th in rush defense with 569 yards allowed on the ground for an
average of 142.25 yards and 5 scores. The defense in 2010 allowed 473 yards at
118.25 yards per game with 2 touchdowns. Looking at the yardage statistics, the
2019 team is giving up 25 more yards a game on average. The NFC is full of
strong running backs like Ezekiel Elliott, Alvin Kamara, Todd Gurley, Christian
McCaffrey, and Dalvin Cook, so stopping the run could be the difference between
a Super Bowl run or a 1st round exit. Over half of the touchdowns they have
given up so far on the season have been on the ground, so tightening up that
front seven should be the focus of Mike Pettine going into the second quarter of
the season. Points AllowedThe 2019 Packers are 8th in points allowed with 69 and
7th in points per game with 17.2. In 2010 they allowed 73 points with a 18.3
points per game through 4 weeks. This is relatively low for a team that has seen
opponents frequently hang 30+ on them in the past. SacksThe 2019 defense are 9th
in Sacks with 12. In 2010 they had 16 sacks in the first four games. Clay
Matthews was dominant all season in 2010 with 13.5 sacks. in 2019 The Super
Smith Bros are combined for 7.5 sacks already. TurnoversGreen Bay is tied for
4th for takeaways with 8 — four interceptions and four fumbles. In 2010 they had
7. The 2010 team had 24 interceptions total, and the Packers are on pace for 16
total this season but are on track to match the 32 total turnovers that the 2010
team had. Turnover Percentage16.3percent of drives against the Packers defense
result in a turnover
Justin McCray Jersey , which is 7th in the league. The 2010 Packers team took away the ball on 16.5 percent of drives. The defense’s job is to get the
ball back to the offensive as quick as possible and when your quarterback is
Aaron Rodgers, that always spells trouble for the other team. The linemen and
linebackers are getting to the quarterback frequently, just like they were in
2010. Teams that win championships often win the turnover battle throughout the
year and dominate in the trenches, and the Packers continue to produce game in
and game out through the first quarter of the season.The front seven and the
secondary are creating a cohesive defense that continues to give offensive
coordinators issues. Overall, the Green Bay Packers compare pretty well to the
2010 unit, which finished 5th in passing defense at the end of the season and
18th in rush defense. It has been a long time since a Packers defense has looked
this good, and if they continue to play the way the 2010 team did, they could be
looking at a deep post season run. A week after the Green Bay Packers’ first
loss of the season, Thursday Night Football features another good NFC matchup.
