His positionresponsibility was modified to inside linebackers in‘09 with the switch to a 3-4 defense and the addition ofoutside linebackers coach Kevin Greene to the staff.Last season Moss was part of a staff that guided thePackers defense to a No. 2 overall ranking in the league,the highest ranking since the ’96 team finished as the No.1 defense.

Hawk made a ratherseamless transition to middle linebacker to fill Barnett’sspot, while Bishop and Chillar both contributed at Hawk’sformer weak-side position.The previous year, Moss helped Barnett continue hisprogression from steady performer to true team leaderwith a Pro Bowl-caliber year. Barnett was named secondteamAll-Pro after leading the Packers in tackles for thefourth time in five seasons and posting a (then) careerhigh3½ sacks along with two interceptions and numerousbig plays late in games.Moss spent a total of six seasons with the Saints, wherehe also coached linebackers.
