The Packers missed the playoffs at 6-10 last season, but considering seven of their losses were by four points or fewer, they probably weren’t as bad as their record indicates. Still, entering their second season A.F. (anno Favre), the Green Bay brass evidently saw enough signs they didn’t like that they decided to really shake things up. That decision will make the Pack’s one of the league’s most interesting training camps.

Not that the starting lineup will change a ton, especially among the skill players. But Green Bay has big-time questions on the offensive line, where left tackle Chad Clifton is coming off knee surgery and right tackle Mark Tauscher wasn’t re-signed. Whoever will be playing right tackle in ‘09 will probably never have made an NFL start. Meanwhile, the defense is changing from its long-standing 4-3 scheme to new defensive coordinator Dom Capers’ preferred 3-4. This means a ton of moving parts, including integrating the Packers’ top draft pick, DL B.J. Raji. While it was initially assumed Raji would be exactly the two-gap player Capers would need to anchor the middle of his defense, that’s no longer certain. And a guy like Aaron Kampman, who might be the team’s best defensive player, will have to play outside linebacker, probably on the strong side, which could put a serious crimp in his sack-related plans.

When a club has this many moving parts on its offensive and defensive lines heading into training camp, it takes a perfect camp to make it all come out right. In fact, it may be more likely that the Pack take a step back in ‘09.
