Green Bay Packers: 6 Big Questions for Defense Entering Training Camp
By Paul Bretl
Earlier this week, I took a look at my five big questions facing the offensive side of the ball for the Green Bay Packers as training camp approaches. So today, we will be shifting our focus over to the defense.
Ultimately, we won’t have the answers to these six questions until we see how training camp and the preseason unfolds, but these are a handful of items certainly worth keeping your eyes on this summer.
Who emerges as CB2 for the Green Bay Packers?
Eric Stokes or Kevin King. Who will emerge as CB2 this season? This is a question where the answer could change over the course of the season.
During Jaire Alexander’s rookie season, while he still saw ample playing time early on, he wasn’t a true starter, and perhaps Stokes gets a similar treatment. We do know that under Brian Gutekunst, if the Green Bay Packers have a choice, they will choose to bring a player along slowly rather than throwing him into the fire if he isn’t ready.
As always, it will come down to performances during training camp and the preseason, and right now, I’d give the veteran King the edge for Week 1. But we will have to wait and see what happens.
