Packers 2026/27 Season Thread

I can't say this loud enough, we 100% don't know what scheme nd front our new DC is going to play 100%. I do know without question that what we did the past two seasons is out the window.

My hope is that Gannon and LaFluer come up with some new transformational defensive scheme. Statistically not likely. But one can hope.

Let me add this in, Good reminder that scheme integrity and situational elasticity aren’t the same thing. Gannon’s core structure of five-man fronts paired with quarters and a heavy dose of Cover 3 has logic. It protects the run behind split-safety looks and keeps explosive plays in check when executed cleanly. But against a top-tier talented QB, he'll need more juice or end up as the Eagles did vs Mahommes in the SB.

CB and DL were big needs. OL is also a need. I'd have been fine taking an OL, but they'll get one today. I also don't like trading up because, as we've seen, with Gute he hasn't been able to create depth. Getting more bites at the apple could have helped in that regard.

It's impossible to know what he's going to do because the media has not been allowed to see him, let alone meet him and ask him questions.

At this point I don't even know if the players are allowed to meet him or speak to him. They may just lock him in the DC booth with a bunch of potato plants and a RO water unit and seal it up like a terrarium.
