The inside linebackers for the Green Bay Packers need to do a better job against the run this week when they face arguably the most talented running back in the NFL. Of course, we are talking about Saquon Barkley of the New York Giants, who Green Bay will face in London on Sunday.
To put it bluntly, the Packers’ run defense has not been good this season, and DeVondre Campbell and Quay Walker are two of the main culprits. Campbell’s regression as a run defender is surprising, especially after he was the fifth-highest-graded run defender among linebackers last season, according to Pro Football Focus. This season, Campbell has fallen to 97th.
