    Under the guidance of our new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, the Packers are poised for a defensive overhaul. Jeff Hafley’s history reveals a predilection for aggressive, attacking schemes, featuring plenty single-high-safety formations, a mix of man coverage and cover-3, alongside of penetrating defensive approach. The aim here is to explore how Green Bay’s roster aligns with Jeff Hafley’s vision, ensuring the plans on paper translate effectively on the field. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛

    This is the first year I can remember there being proper investment at every position on the field with a coaching staff that I believe in. Even some of our most dominant years, it felt like we always had a position or 2 that were missing what felt like a needed addition.
  • @irocmoore117
    Saying 10VE won’t be as good as russel and joe is the most delulu take I’ve heard! He will be better! By far! I can’t wait for Jordan to continue to prove y’all wrong! Go Pack Go!! 💚💛💚💛💚💛
  • @Nater9-9
    Hafley brings a lot of hope to our defense. We will be absolutely electric if our defense can play aggressive at an effective level.
  • You said what I’ve been thinking. If this defense lives up to its potential, we won’t have Hafley for long. Hopefully it takes him 3 or so years before he gets his own HC gig.
  • @xxcelr8rs
    Wyatt's college tape showed amazing quickness off the snap. Hope to see it in pros.
  • the more i hear from Jeff Hafley the more i like him and think the defense is on great hands
  • @onetymexx1381
    I just like what he saying. Its his enthusiasm and the ability to no be scared to add speed and have the defensive line pushing fast through the line and letting the linebackers cover the tackling.
  • @bob_ohms2low75
    Jeff Hafley has me truly excited for a packers defense. I havent been able to say that, since Claymaker, & Woodson were roaming around out there.
  • @billklatte7536
    Player personalities in the locker room are critical. Most fans, I believe, do not appreciate the huge importance of having mentally healthy and open players on a team. I am a psychotherapist and I see this a lot. Ability to get listen and learn and be a team player matter very very much.
  • Hey Peter, that shirt you have on tell the whole story! Gopackgo
  • @bob_ohms2low75
    You cut off the best part! What Hafley says right after the clip you showed got me insanely excited!
  • @victorreyes3029
    After this defense is installed after all the hype the only thing scary are the zebras when they start calling penalties for over agressiveness. My hope is that jeff hafley will stay awhile atleast the years of service matching both petine and barry
  • @AndrewK-df9fj
    Look I'm not saying that Hafleys defense is going to be better but I can at least say I'm excited to see it. Because under Barry we knew they were going to be underperforming and safe.
  • @rokbeast4291
    O great, we're have a good defense for 1 season. Cause Jeff's gonna be a head coach after this season lol. Thx for that
  • Any one who watches big10 football could yell you Jayden Reed would excel in the nfl
  • @Pryeclipse
    I wouldn’t trade Jayden reed for rashee rice lol
  • That's what I see as well, Hafley will be very good DC and we need to find a way to keep him here. Look what happened to Phily when they lost there COs. You spend all this time and money building a great roster and then the thing falls apart because you let a key mind walk. You got to be able to keep people like that, and we know it's all about money and contractual job security. I'd Hafley because as good as we think he will then we need to do whatever it takes to invite him to chose to stay as our DC for the next 5 years over closing a HC job. I know, not easy task, but nothing is impossible.

    You may not be as cool as bas, or as goofy as Grossi, but you're the best.
