What is up Packers fans?

Happy Sunday.

Welcome into an all new episode of the Pack of Day podcast. I'm your host, Andy Herman. You can follow me on Twitter at Andy Herman NFL. You can find the podcast at Packet A podcast. Thank you, as always, for being wonderful Packer fans and joining us for another episode of the Packaday podcast. We've got a great show lined up for you today. We are going to be going over the Packers' biggest weaknesses.

Yesterday, we went over the Packers' biggest strengths. Today, we tackle the opposite side of it. It's always, again, fun to look at this year over year. If you want to go back and check out what the biggest weaknesses or at least what I thought they were a year ago, fun to look at those as well. but today what we're going to be looking at is what Green Bay needs to do and improve upon if they want to become a real top tier team, a Super Bowl contender, a better franchise, whatever way that you want to look at it. I have 12 things on my list today that I think are weaknesses that they need to improve upon. And I think it's always, you know, sometimes it's painful.

I get that it's more fun looking at the strengths than it is the weaknesses, right? But if you want to keep track of this team and what they need to do to become a legitimate, whether it's a Super Bowl contender, just like I said, a better franchise, whatever, you want to know and be aware of the weaknesses so you can kind of keep track of those to see if they're either no longer weaknesses or if they're becoming strengths or if they remain

weaknesses,

it's going to probably be a problem in some way, shape, or form. So let's get into it right

away. They said 12 weaknesses to get into. We're going to start with number one. It's legitimately

my remaining biggest concern as to what could potentially hold them back from being a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

I think they can be a playoff team.

I think they can beat teams in the playoffs.

Wouldn't shock me if they could get to a Super Bowl.

But if they want to be a legitimate Super Bowl winner, to me, they are going to have to improve to become a more top-tier pass-rush team.

This is a very nuanced conversation because, as I've talked about on numerous occasions this

offseason, they could still surprise this people when I say it, they were tied for eighth in

sacks last year. This was a top 10 sack defense in the NFL. In fact, even better than that,

again, they were tied for eighth. They were the top quarter of the league. That's, I mean,

that's pretty remarkable, right? Like, if you thought at all last year, if you would think back at it,

would you say that you would have predicted or guessed that the Packers were top eight in sacks last year? You wouldn't, right? It did not feel that way throughout the course of the season. Well, there's some reasons for that. First of all, sacks are not all that matters, right? We've talked about it. Pressures are a huge portion and a huge aspect of getting to the quarterback. It's not just getting them to the ground.
