Thursday Cheese Curds: Role reversal underway in Green Bay

The reversal of roles between offense and defense in Green Bay has been something to behold this offseason.

Heading into training camp, the conversation around the defense includes questions like “how good can this very talented defense be?” and “will the already great Kenny Clark be even better with more help?” and “will supremely talented Rashan Gary finally be recognized as the game-wrecker he is?”
