The packers run d has been atrocious up until this past season.
Their pass rush comes from their linebackers so their dline has been a weakness for atleast 5 years.

Not sure on this hire.

1. Their dline has been very good for a long time.
2. B.J. Raji is one of the most overrated DL players of the past 30 years. He is remembered for his stupid dance after his pick-6 in the playoffs and for being drafted way too high. That dline was all Ryan Pickett, Cullen Jenkins and Mike Daniels (in later years), Raji did very little and had only 1 good year out of 6.
3. Zadarius is a hybrid DE/LB. Same with Preston Smith. Gary is now a pure DL after doing both DE and LB, 50/50. Kenny Clark is a NT (and infinitely better than Raji ever was). Karl Brooks is a mini-Geno.

I'm not saying he's a slam dunk hire, but this reads as if you're thinking of the Packers D from literally 15 years ago and not present day.
