Lewis leaves Packers

Green Bay Packers defensive quality control coach Eric Lewis has left the Packers to join the University of Louisville coaching staff as secondary coach.

The Packers defense was ranked fifth in total defense in 2007 with 288.5 yards per game. The Packers run defense was ranked fourth, allowing 81.0 yards per game, while the pass defense was just as stingy, allowing 207.5 yards per game, also ranking fourth.

Lewis joins a defense at Louisville which allowed more than 30 points in seven out of 12 games last year and ultimately spelled the preseason Big East favorite's demise.
