Green Bay Packers: 3 Concerns Entering Training Camp
By Paul Bretl
With training camp just around the corner, these are three concerns that I have about this 2020 Green Bay Packers team.
The 2019 season for the Green Bay Packers went better than any of us would have expected last offseason. A 13-3 regular-season record, a clean sweep of the NFC North, and a trip to the NFC Championship Game.
However, as most will point out, this didn’t feel like a 13-3 team. The offense struggled to move the ball consistently, and at times it seemed nearly impossible. Meanwhile, on the defensive side of the ball, they were able to keep their opponents out of the end zone – which is the ultimate goal – but they couldn’t stop the run and gave up too many big plays.
Not to mention that they were run off the field by the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Title Game.
And since then, we’ve seen an offseason that left many fans wanting more and some still scratching their heads.
With limited spending power, the Green Bay Packers went bargain hunting in free agency, and in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft, they traded up for a quarterback, then selected a running back and then an H-back.
So after all of that transpired, as you’d expect, many are wondering if the Packers did, in fact, improve. And because of this, there are few concerns. However, I will point out that every team has concerns; this isn’t something that only Green Bay is dealing with.
But as we continue to look ahead to the upcoming season, these are my three biggest concerns surrounding this Packers team prior to training camp.
