It is certainly a possibility.

It took a couple games to adjust to no Greg Jennings in the offense. The offense managed to do that by the Houston game. Now, they have to adjust to no Jordy Nelson, which is a more difficult task without any WR of his skill set to replace him.

The defense has the pieces in place to make up for the injuries, but it will be a growing process all year.

C-Wood just received his big roster bonuses this year. The Packers didn’t even make him restructure to avoid the cap hit. That tells me they’ll likely take him back at a reduced rate next season. He can still be an effective piece of this defense as a safety/linebacker hybrid.

The Packers with all their injuries certainly know how to make games interesting.

But at the half way point of the season what are some of the areas that need attention in the 2013 draft.

Well one could easily say that the big contract went to TJ Langs head and that he is half the player he was last year. Then there is his sidekick at left tackle Marshall Newhouse, who doesn’t make me feel comfortable while trying to pass or run block.

So in the first round Packers should look at someone like Barrett Jones who can fill in two different OL possitions. All on the left side, including center! Then there is Jake Matthews the OT from Texas A&M, need I say more. Can anyone say Bloodline1, with Clay Matthews III being called Bloodline.

The second issue is the constant ineffectness along the front seven of the defense. Nick Perry has yet to pan out, but when he hits, you know it. Jerel Worthy has been up and down but thankfully he has had more ups than downs. Then there is Mike Daniels, yeah he is still on the team. Total non-existant in his effort so far this season.

Another defensive lineman is needed because Ryan Pickett is nearing the end of his career.

Finally, the safety position needs another playmaker. Charles Woodson probably will not be on the team next year due to contract issues, age and health concerns.

If those three areas are helped: OL, DL and S the Packers should be more effective on offense no matter who is running with the football.

The Packers are tied right now with Arizona with the most sacks. Thanks mostly to Clay Matthews. But add another run stuffing DL along with the ball hawking safety and the defense should roll in 2013

I know 2012 isn’t over and the Packers will be getting most of their injured players back to help them enter the playoffs again.

But with all the talent they have they should be dominating like they did against Houston earlier in the year.
