Insider: Barnett's everywhere on defense
If Nick Barnett's post-tackle Green Giant pose gets under your skin, it was best the Packers' middle linebacker only stayed on the field one play into the second quarter on Thursday night.
On Jacksonville's second drive alone, Barnett sniffed out an end-around and dropped Reggie Williams after a 1-yard gain; stuffed Maurice Jones-Drew on third-and-1; then ended the drive by wrapping up Jones-Drew off the left edge for no gain on fourth-and-1.
Barnett also broke up a pass on third-and-6 on the Jaguars' first possession, but the play was called back because of an illegal-use-of-hands penalty. And he was in coverage when a fourth-down pass on that drive bounced off Jones-Drew's hands.
