Packers Morning Buzz: Does Green Bay finally have the right recipe on defense?

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

We'll start with Ryan Wood's story on the reaction of Packers players to the NFL's new national anthem policy.

From Ryan:

In a policy commissioner Roger Goodell announced at the owners' meeting last month, players who choose to be on the field during the national anthem must stand, or the league will fine their team. Teams also would have the option to fine players who sit or kneel. Players do have the option to stay in the locker room.

Receiver Davante Adams did not sit or kneel during the national anthem last season, but he vocally opposed President Donald Trump's criticism of NFL players who did so. Adams said he believes the NFL has joined Trump in twisting what protesting players are trying to achieve.

“You can’t fine somebody for a peaceful protest,” Adams said. “We’re not out here holding signs, saying we don’t care about the troops or we don’t care about our country or whatever. It’s a peaceful protest, and it’s something as simple as people just expressing themselves and how they wanted to do it. It brought light to the situation, but at the same time, it’s headed in a negative direction with people getting in trouble for it now.

“The league should’ve just stayed in their place where they were before and allowed people to do whatever it was that they were doing.”
