Good start. Let’s see who the new guys are he brings in.

Stick with Pettine or go with another from outside. -- Don't have an issue with either scenario. -- Sticking with Pettine will allow for some continuity on the "D".

Now the hard part: Gute needs to get more impact players for Pettine to turn GB's "D" into a 'top 5' unit. -- Best part --- Gute will use both free agency & a better draft in 2019.

Things are look'in up in the land of G&G.

It's up to LaFleur, if he's happy with Pettine I can live with it.

Defense ranked below average in most categories this past year, but they did the best they could with all the injuries.

Will be nice to see them fill some holes on the defense, but even if their starters stay relatively healthy next season they should be a lot better.

Glad we kept Pettine.. a few more Players in the draft and FA and I think Our D can be top 10....as always Go Pack Go!

Let's be totally honest here. You line up Mike Pettine against Matty Nice and is their any question who the players are going to look up to as the real head coach of this team? It's clearly Pettine so his retention was absolutely critical to try to steer this ship from heading to the iceberg. LaF is here basically to admire Aaron Rodgers and tell him how good he is. Don't get me wrong it's a crucial job but he's not Penske material that I will tell you. So happy for Mike Pettine. Losing Pettine would be equivalent to losing Batman and having Robin in charge. If Pettine isn't making the same or more money than LaFleur, now is the time to ask for it.

The 2 best moves LaFleur has made thus far is keeping Pettine and Firing Zook!

I think giving Pettine, the coaches and the players a 2nd year in the scheme can only mean good things. Also adding a few good players will help to.

The defense was way too injured, and yet weren't that bad. Also they got rid of 2 of their starting safety's halfway through the year.

In 3 of the biggest stat categories they finished 9th in yards per game. They finished 14th in points per game. They finished 3rd in sacks.

Not bad really.

We have a good core of players to work with.

Clark and Daniels on the DL. I also like Lancaster, Lowry, Adams. All showed things.
At LB they have Martinez.

At CB, Alexander, King are the duo we need on the field. Jackson hopefully takes a step. I'd like to see Breeland come back. Brown intrigues me as well.

They have to find pass rushers, and safety's.
If they can add a dominating type of pass rusher or 2, the defense would be changed a ton. And if they can get a ball hawk safety, that would help the back end out so much!

We have needs, especially edge and safety, but if there's a great WR in the draft take him. Ron Wolf's only regret was not giving Favre enough weapons. Gute should pay attention. I believe we'll see a WR with one of the first three picks.

Pettine seems like a good keep, someone who knows the people he has to keep or dismiss! Guess McCarthy wasn't all that bad as so many seem to think!

"LaFleur confirms Mike Pettine will be his DC."

That's good news. Now only the Offense and Special Teams will undergo schematic changes this year.

When draft comes around never say never. However, IMO the drafting of a QB, WR, or RB would be such a disservice. There are so many needs on the team and they need all the draft capital they can get to fill in the weak areas.

The Packers have 2 back-up young QB's already and another draft selection would be a waste. We do not know what is up with Cobb yet but believe the Pack is well set with WR's. The Pack have 2 very good young RB's and can get a good to very good RB in FA and off Practice Squads. Exception would be a scat back/kick returner type.

These are 3 positions I hope the Pack ignore in the draft barring situation where a player has significantly fallen on draft board.

Draft 2 edge rushers, OT, OG, Safety, TE, scat back/kick returner.

Would like to see Monken as OC......

Really like that Pettine was kept around,
that was the Bears model last season (young Offensive HC, established DC) and that worked out ok.

Being LaFleur's first gig as HC he should be able to lean on Pettine a bit since he has been a HC in the past.

Pettine did a pretty good job as DC last season considering the injuries and lack of talent at key positions.

Gute has to get more talent on both sides of the ball.

GUTE, GO BIG OR GO HOME!!

GO PACK!!

Think how much better the defense would be if Pettine had a few more tools to work with; that's why two of the first three draft picks need to include an edge rusher and safety.

Pettine knows defense. He had no problem getting rid of HaHa, a overrated player who shied away from contact. Give him a few more weapons and he'll know what to do with them. We'll find out soon what his impression of Perry is, I bet Perry is history. If CMIII doesn't restructure and move inside he should be gone too. I think we'll see a ton of good moves, we already have.

Happy to see a bright spot from last year retained. With a better stable of healthy players this defense can see an immense improvement on what already was pretty great. Seeing teams punt is a new thing in Green Bay. It’s been a while. We used to have to create a turn over to make a stop. Forcing a team to punt is just as good as a turn over. It still is a turn over.

Lafleur is 2 for 2 so far. Chucked Zook and kept Pettine.

We need to get Pettine a pass rusher and a Safety in the draft and if possible sign one of each during the FA period. If we can get that done we can solidify the defense.

Then draft at least one OL and sign another during FA for OL depth. If we can draft an RT we can move Bulaga to RG. Sign some OL depth that is better than Bell and McGray and the OL will be solid and go from there. So far so good. Go Pack Go! Thanks, Since '61

Very happy with LaFleur thus far! Zook is finally gone, but the BEST news is keeping Pettine.

Now the players won't have to worry about a new scheme. Continuity definitely matters-- look at what the Bears did-- kept Fangio and brought in Matt Nagy.

I'm pumped about how things are taking shape. Now for who the OC will be....Go Pack GO!

I kinda liked Joe Witt and hope we have a better coach in waiting to take his place. Time will tell if that was a good move. Or maybe Pettines got a replacement in mind already.

Keeping Pettine was a good choice. He did well for what he had to work with. A lot of injuries.
