GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Like any NFL defensive coordinator, Dom Capers would love to have a pass rusher like J.J. Watt or Khalil Mack to turn loose snap after snap.

The Green Bay Packers might have the next-best thing.

“I was counting on film, I think [they have] seven guys who can rush the passer,” Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer said. “Really, really physical group. There’s not a small quick, fast guy there. They’re all big. They all run well. They’re all really strong at the point of attack. They can set the edge.

“They all have different pass moves to win in one-on-one games in the outside. They do a good job with games inside -- twists, stunts and all the different things you get, especially when Clay [Matthews] is involved. It’s just a very, very solid group with no weaknesses.”

Capers hopes the Packers' power-in-numbers will give Palmer the same kind of problems in Saturday’s NFC divisional playoff game that it gave Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins in last weekend’s wild-card game. Four different Packers players shared in the six sacks of Cousins: Nick Perry and Mike Neal had two apiece, Matthews had 1.5 and Mike Daniels had the other half.

Peruse a list of the top-10 pass rushers from the regular season, and you won’t find a single Packers player. Watt led the league with 17.5 sacks, followed by Mack with 15.0. The first Capers’ player shows up at No. 12, where Julius Peppers finished with 10.5 sacks.

But as a group, the Packers finished tied for seventh with 43 sacks. Even with the NFL’s sack leader in Watt, the Texans recorded only two more sacks than the Packers, while Oakland (with Mack) tied for 14th with 38 sacks.

“I think it’s better when you have a bunch of guys that can rush, that can give you different looks,” said Peppers, who this season moved into the top 10 with 136 career sacks. “I think we have a lot of guys that have a lot of different styles and just matching up across the board, showing them different looks -- different guys, different looks -- bodes better for us throughout the game.”

A total of 15 players registered sacks during the regular season. That’s three more than last season and tied for the most Packers players with a sack since Capers took over in 2009.

“That’s been Dom’s history forever,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. “He’s always had, whether you all the way back to Lamar Lathon and [Kevin] Greene and all those guys he had in Carolina, he’s always had good outside pass rushers and inside guys right now that are very disruptive. Then you’ve got to handle all the fire zones, too. It’s a challenge.”

Early in Capers’ tenure, he relied heavily on Matthews. But with Matthews entrenched at inside linebacker, his sack total dropped to 6.5 this season -- the second lowest of his career. Daniels and Neal each had four regular-season sacks, while Perry had 3.5.

Defensive end Datone Jones, who has added some outside linebacker snaps to his duties, actually finished second on the team to Matthews in quarterback hits even though he had only three sacks.

“If you’re lined up and you’re rushing and you’re rushing, if you can keep guys fresh [it helps],” Capers said. “The same thing happens to those offensive linemen ... you saw Nick Perry, their left tackle’s one of the best in the league but Nick really did a nice job of coming in fresh and finished on him and had a couple real good quarterback hits and sacks.”
