Defensive end Mike Daniels wants the Packers defense to be meaner this year, Tyler Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.

"I think that's been our biggest problem on defense," Daniels said. "So I'm personally going to really get the best out of everybody. I don't care if I have to hit somebody before we get on the field."

"If something has to be said, I'm going to say it," Daniels said after a minicamp practice. "If somebody has a problem with it, we're grown men. We play a violent game. We get paid to be violent. So why not? If you deck somebody in the locker room because you have a disagreement, there's not going to be any sensitivity training."

"It's a barbaric sport. So that's how you're going to have to approach it. I'm tired of getting our face punched in by other teams. I'm not used to that."

Teammate Andy Mulumba said Daniels is a leader "everyone respects" because he "proved to all of us that he can play."

"He's aggressive. He's dominant at his position," Mulumba said. "And we have to take example from him, because when he steps on the field, it's all about beating the guy in front of him. And that's the mentality he wants all of us to have on defense. He's been preaching it ever since we started OTAs."

"Whenever he gets a chance to talk to you, he's going to relay the message. He wants us to be really aggressive."

"We can be meaner. We can play — not reckless — but on the edge," Mulumba continued. "We have to play on the edge. We have to be really mean on the field. On defense, we are schemed to do that. But we just have to do it for 60 minutes. Every Sunday.

"You just have to have the attitude. It's all about attitude. You have to want to beat the guy in front of you every play. … You don't want to get beat up."

Here's Mike Daniels talkin about being a mean mutha this season:

 

"Every game one of our offensive guys gets knocked out, maybe two, so it's about time we returned the favor to other teams instead of just getting pushed around all the time," Daniels said after Tuesday's minicamp practice. "It's just a little bit of a different attitude. A little meaner. A lot meaner.

Actually, being mean for once because, quite frankly, we haven't been.

 

I think that's been our biggest problem on defense. So I'm personally going to make that my job to really get the best out of everybody. I don't care if I've got to hit somebody before we get on the field.

If that's going to [piss] them off and they take it out on somebody on the other team, then so be it."
