3 ways Packers are better prepared for playoffs than last year
Ways Packers are better than last year: Passing Defense
Speaking of Douglas and company, the Packers’ passing defense is much more dynamic than a year ago. They’re giving up fewer yards per attempt than 2020 have a much deeper group of cornerbacks.
Douglas has come out of nowhere to give Green Bay solid production at one cornerback spot. Opposite him, rookie Eric Stokes has been solid even if he hasn’t yet made game-changing plays. Those two have forced former starter Kevin King down the depth chart even with Jaire Alexander missing time. With Alexander looking like he’ll return for the playoffs, this team is suddenly three-deep with quality corners.

De’Vondre Campbell has also made a world of difference from the inside linebacker spot. He can fly around the field from sideline to sideline covering running backs and tight ends. That’s a huge upgrade from a season ago and will be a huge asset when the Packers play some of the best teams in the NFL.
