Can you talk about your defensive front four being a little different going into this game than last year?
"We have a lot of moving pieces, a lot of neat pieces to start the season out with. This is my 32nd season in coaching and every year there are different pieces to the puzzle and for various reasons of why that happens, but there's always a moving part in that in the National Football League. We're always doing that and then your health plays into it. I like the guys that we have here right now so it's going to be fun to see how they gel. We're going to play a lot of packages so what guys are up there, you'll see linebackers playing up front, you'll see defensive linemen playing linebacker positions, you'll see a lot of guys playing a lot of different positions on what would be standard positions in you all's eyes, but what we do is play a lot of different people and we're going to do that."
I know some players said the Seattle film wasn't hiding from them when they came back to work. Did you still want them to have that chip on their shoulder?
"We discussed it sometimes this week. It's always brought up to them almost every single week. I coach with a chip on my shoulder and they play with a chip on their shoulders too. It's a good group of guys to start the season out with. I can't wait to watch them play."
The tackling wasn't always on display in the preseason, but do you feel differently about what it will be like in the regular season?

We got to hit Aaron Rogers all nite long, relentlessly. I personally want to see 2 or 3 of those hits that Shaun Rogers put on the Oakland QB from him this week at least and then 2 or three heat seeking missle hits on him from Casillas, and another 2-3 from Harper.

Franklin will be back. Healthy and ready.

What happened to Alex Smith in the preseason will happen to Aaron Rogers

The tackling wasn't always on display in the preseason, but do you feel differently about what it will be like in the regular season?

"I will say that tackling displays who belongs and who doesn't belong in this league."

i just had to finish that last question. i love the stuff that comes out of this mans mouth.

now if he can get the DE and OLB to stay home and close those back door lanes things will look a lot better.

I really hope the DBs can step up and help a D-line that is a little unexperienced. Great coverage will help the pressure to arrive and if those two parts of the defence works together Rodgers will have a loooong night.

I'm excited to see junior and Cameron jordans performance, I'll be happy if cam can hold his own against the run, wouldn't mind a few hits on rodgers though!
Shaun rogers, be the beast that you are and show us what you do to QB's!

"I will say that tackling displays who belongs and who doesn't belong in this league."

Well there better be some them or we are in for a LOOOOONG season!!
