As Devonte Wyatt said "He's a beast. Once he can stop thinking so much, and just play and react, he'll be really good"

[@chuekong9331]

undrafted Brenton Cox Jr. is a stud too.

[@williamhermann6635]

Hes definitely been made some flashes since they traded Preston Smith.

[@masteryang7243]

@@williamhermann6635I’m glad we traded Preston!

[@Metalbass10000]

He's absolutely got potential, and athleticism, but he needs to improve on his quickness and leverage, and he needs to develop his arsenal of moves: bull rush, rip, swim, spin, chop, and club. What i do like seeing in this year's Packers defense is that as the season has progressed, they have improved in their physicality, their aggression, and gang tackling.

[@williamhermann6635]

Theyre playing much faster now and I think thats mostly just do to becoming more comfortable with Hafley's scheme. Switching from 3-4 to 4-3 is a big deal especially when you consider they didnt really add anyone in the front 7 besides Cooper and Hopper. Usually when teams switch they'll add guys who fit that defense like when they drafted Clay Mathews and BJ Raji for Dom Capers' 3-4. The Packers just bet on the talent and versatility of the guys they had and its starting to pay off. Just took some time.

[@ricardorivera7549]

i think u are asking for too much. he is too big and powerful, and thats his game style and its fine. not everyone can be a myles garret that can beat u w speed and power. some people only got power, bull rush, chop and club. Dont expect a consistent swim or spin from lvn. its like asking brian burns to develop a bull rush. its just not their style

[@Grantrude]

I’d like to see Cooper for sure. Williams would be fun.

[@DSPHistoricalSociety]

Edge Cooper gonna be a monster!

[@Grantrude]

Already is!

[@DSPHistoricalSociety]

@Grantrude i know- I'm talking real special kinda monster. You can't teach what it is he has

[@masteryang7243]

LVN and Cox Jr are a beast! GoPackGo!!!

[@TheDevilsKnot]

I was convinced on LVN when he chased down Justin Fields and threw him out of bounds in the first game of his career. This is his 3rd defense in 3 years, he's only gonna get better. The future is bright for LVN. Go Pack Go.

[@mikedorsey9660]

He may develop but he's not playing like a #1 draft pick, some people take a few years, this may be LVN catagory. He needs to take it up another notch in the playoffs & definitely be a force next season.

[@williamhermann6635]

That swim move vs the Seahawks left guard was sweeeet. Van Ness is on his way man. Him, Gary, and Wyatt are gonna be a nightmare for the next 5-7 years.

[@DSPHistoricalSociety]

Don't forget Coop flying around

[@williamhermann6635]

@DSPHistoricalSociety I just meant on the d-line lol. Cooper is the best defensive player the Packers have had since Charles Woodson.

[@DSPHistoricalSociety]

@@williamhermann6635 I've been high on Wyatt since he was drafted. High praise for Cooper, I hope to hell he reaches it

[@williamhermann6635]

@@DSPHistoricalSociety Same. I think he was on his way to becoming a star this year until an injury derailed his season.

[@DSPHistoricalSociety]

@@williamhermann6635 Either way, we have some _toys_ to flex on D Edit: remember, this is supposed to be year 2 of a rebuild

[@whspioneer89]

You’re the first person I’ve heard say the Packers have arguably the best defensive line in football. All season long the packers fans and packer podcasters on KZbin have been complaining about lack of pass rush and not stopping g the run when needed. Detroit was 8 for 9 against the packers on 4th and short this season

[@Playsinvain]

Qb’s throw the ball quickly against GB. And Edgerin Cooper is going to put an end to the lions little dumpy pass attack

[@williamhermann6635]

​@@dubyajay7860LVN is a stud. The kid is just starting to get real playing time and hes been making plays every game. They traded Preston Smith so he could play more.

[@matthewbowers4983]

Well I think getting adjusted to the scheme has been the main thing. I think they’re comfortable now and I think the last few weeks have shown that. But we’ll see next week.

[@williamhermann6635]

​@@matthewbowers4983 Yeah the defense is about to get Jaire, Evan Williams, and Javon Bullard back. Its gonna be a lot of fun. Everything is coming together at the best possible time.

[@williamhermann6635]

@dubyajay7860 What im saying is hes getting more reps with the starting d-line, not just the clean up reps with the 2nd wave of guys they bring in. Hes getting some reps across from Gary and Clark (who both get double teamed a ton) and hes taking advantage of the 1 on 1s. PS dont be such a boner.

[@billybobby5247]

I love how there's 2 obvious holds in that Lions example. True darlings of the NFL now smh.

[@DSPHistoricalSociety]

One of the dirtier teams in the NFL

[@RahnOzzy]

Van Ness doesn't need anything but snaps... Issue is we have a d line full of inside rushers rushing on the outside...

[@williamhermann6635]

But theyre all still quick and fast enough to win with speed.

[@RahnOzzy]

@williamhermann6635 no complaints at all... Snaps is all that's needed...

[@Pccpy]

Didn't packer fans said he is a bust?

[@afamrolfs8244]

LVNs helmet is too small

[@afamrolfs8244]

@ ya he needs a bigger helmet

It's judo.
