Packers defense ready to deal with heightened expectations

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — As they chase their fourth consecutive NFC North title and first Super Bowl berth in more than a decade, the Green Bay Packers may rely on a different formula than usual. That’s the mindset we have every single day when we walk into this building.” The Packers ranked ninth in total defense and tied for 13th in scoring defense last year in Barry’s first season as coordinator, but their playoff performance offered an indication they’re capable of accomplishing much more. Green Bay’s defense didn’t allow a single touchdown in a 13-10 divisional playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers, who reached the end zone only on a blocked punt return. Walker said last week at the team’s rookie minicamp he already was looking forward to working with Barry, who came to Green Bay after four seasons as the Los Angeles Rams linebackers coach. Barry’s background includes two unsuccessful stints as an NFL defensive coordinator at Detroit and Washington, but he earned praise from Green Bay’s players last season for the energy he brought to the defense.
