Throughout the training camp practices and in the preseason games, it appears that the Green Bay Packers are using linebacker blitzes more often than they did last year under Joe Barry.
In the team drill portion of practice, it hasn’t been uncommon to see the linebacker blitzing multiple times within a specific period. In the two preseason games, the Packers’ linebackers have totaled five pressures, with Jimmy Phillips leading the way with 11 pass rush snaps, according to PFF. Quay Walker has three such snaps, while Isaiah McDuffie, Tariq Carpenter, and Eric Wilson all have two.
