San Francisco 49ers - The 49ers
have a very underrated defense and it revolves around there
great linebacking crew of Manny Lawson, Patrick Willis, Takeo
Spikes, and Parys Haralson. That and a good defensive line
that includes Aubrayo Franklin and Pro Bowler Justin Smith
helped the 49ers finish fourth with 17.6 points a game and
third with 44 sacks. The secondary is solid, but the hope
is corner Nate Clements rebounds from a sub par 2009.
Green Bay
- The Packers have put together a very good defense led by
veteran cornerback Charles Woodson who helped the Packers
lead the league with 30 interceptions. It is likely that defensive
end Johnny Jolly will not play in 2010 so the Packers dratted
defensive tackle Mike Neal in the second-round. 2009 first-round
draft pick B.J. Raji will move to nose tackle.The Packers
have an above average linebacking crew led by linebacker Clay
Matthews (10 sacks).
