As long as we aren't 10 yards off receivers on 3rd & short, I will be happy with this hire
The beginning might be hard might get us a couple pass interference and holding calls for not being use to playing aggressively 😂
@@keinanburley2624 Bro, if our DBs are getting PI for being too aggressive at the LoS, I wouldn't even be mad 🤣
@@henryb.7723 true 😂 it’s going to take like 4 games we’ll be fine
@@henryb.7723 Not Ahmad Carroll level but I agree
LMAO 🤣 Same thing I've been saying since last season Barry have had these guys playing 8-10 yards off WRs on 2nd and 3rd downs have killed us on stopping teams from punting.
New Blood, New Ideas, New Energy ! Give the Man a chance to prove himself. Coaches are like players too, they are hungry for success.
I support this hire. LaFluer should be applauded for taking the youngest team in the NFL to the playoffs. His decision making has been solid in regard to hiring good people that fit our organization. Let’s Go.
I'm happy with the decision and now we have to work on players.
Man, your discussion of what single high safety means, schematically, has me EXCITED.
Never heard of the guy but after looking him up and reading about everything he’s done as a coach, his resume seems pretty impressive. Hopefully he can have that same defensive success with GB. Definitely seems like he will play more of an aggressive, press man type of defense!
At first I was like WTF man. I really was, then I did some research, actually watched most of the recent video, interview, only been out like 2 days ago. And I think he was absolutely sick of college football. He gets as many if not more endorsements, than any other candidates listed. So now I'm a bit encouraged and excited. He got a teacher and someone who will use his players.
Maybe...
You should still be like WTF the more I look into it the worse it gets
He’s getting credit for OS in 2019 but he was Co-DC
Why does everyone overlook his experience as a position coach in the NFL? Also, overlooking the fact that he has his hands all over the defense as HC at BC. It isn't ever one thing.
@eddiep9207 Ohio state defense pretty much fell off the map when he left. 2023 they stepped up, probably should with that stack of NIL money
Dude, dusty is a WEALTH of knowledge when it comes to football. What a find being able to pick his brain. Subbed and hoping to see a lot of him
Jeff Hafley is an immediate upgrade over Joe Barry because he runs a system that fits our personnel much better than what Joe Barry’s did. We’re switching to a 4-3 defense with a big emphasis on press man coverage. No more soft zones and getting torn apart in the middle in both the passes and the runs. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛
I don't see us running a true 4-3. I see us running a multiple defense with 4 down linemen as our base. One of the games I watched yesterday of Boston College vs FSU, they lined up in a 4-2, a 2-4, a 3-3, possibly a 3-4, and one time they had 6 players all within 1 yard of the LOS with no safety back in coverage. The BC film doesn't show him running a true 4-3 which means he's open to playing multiple fronts. He will also drop DT's into coverage just to mess with the offense.
We needed a DC coach who's willing to adjust to teams and what they do well not a guy like Barry who was stuck in his ways and schemes no matter who we played and we got killed for it. We need coaches/ teachers not guys who believe in schemes all the time you have to be able to adjust to what teams like to do and counter with setups that confuse them pre snap.
@@erics607 His style of play is 4-2-5 press man coverage, just like the 49ers, Seahawks, and Steelers. The Packers need to get an athletic linebacker to hit the run gaps that 4 man front opens up or chase anyone who gets passed the defensive lineman. They have the players to do this. If you look at the last 5 games of the Packers including the 2 playoff games against Dallas and San Francisco. Matt Lafluer made Joe Barry play 4-2-5 man press. So this hire makes sense and he’s young enough to change plays or adjust to the game. Like what Matt Lafluer saw what worked after he put his input on the defensive side of the ball. Matt Lafluer is a brilliant head coach and we all have trust the process. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛
@@mrbambino3893 Jeff Halfley’s defense in Boston College was top 10 in the nation when it comes to prospects he had to develop and scheme them to understand how to play defense. He also had great success at Ohio State. I see this as a plus because he can develop and coach players because the college level it’s all about technique planning and changing defensive schematics during a game. He’s got a lot of upside. That also gives Darnell Savage to go back to his natural position. If you watch the last 4 games of the season and the playoffs against Dallas and San Francisco, they were playing a 4-2-5 technique. This is why we were having success so Matt Lafluer went out and got someone who can play 4-2-5 press man coverage. This allows the defensive backs to come down and make plays on the ball. We have the players to do this but this 4-2-5 is heavily focused on linebackers who can attack the gaps that were opened by the defensive line or go sideline to sideline and be athletic enough to stop anything that breaks through the 4-man front. So we’re going to have to get a linebacker in one of our top 2024 draft picks. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛
@@raybrean9889It’s hard to say that Quay isn’t athletic. I’m hopeful that Hafley can bring out the best in him and he won’t just be yet another first round bust.
I really like his resume. Here's to him and the Packers success. Hope's spring is eternal.
Love this series. You rock Andy
Good work Andy and Dusty!
I am open for positive change!! GO PACK GO!
"Not you, not me, not anyone"
I'm SUPER pumped to see what Jeff can do with this defense! We got DAWGS that are hungrier than ever, so let 'em hunt and shore up the secondary with fresh blood at the draft that will complement and thrive in the schemes Jeff will deploy. Considering what the Pack did with a shitty DC and mediocre secondary, I can't wait to see what this crew can do. GO PACK GO
Clearly new DC Jeff Hafley was brought in for the purpose of unlocking former Boston College Eagle LB Isaiah McDuffie
Thank you for all you do Andy! What a great breakdown, I can’t wait to see what this defense looks next season. GPG!
I'm loving this hire. I loved the old press man defense that GB used to run back in the day with Al Harris and Woodson.
Hopefully Hafley brings some toughness back to our D.
It would be great to get Al Harris to coach the DBs. He was a zone player in Philly. After being traded to the Packers he became great at man coverage. He knows from his training how to motivate DBs.
Jeff Hafley has also proven himself to be one of the best recruiters in college football. His input come draft season, I suspect, will be very helpful.
Especially when we’ll probably take a safety or corner in the first round. And he was mainly a db coach in his career to add to that
I like the Hire.
Diversity is key moving forward. NFL and College Experience. Press Coverage is a plus to go along with other styles. Also we have a Young Team that is hungry and fresh.
We went young with Hire.
The Slate is clean.
Welcome to Packer Nation .
Hopefully they bring in players to match Defense Culture and Vision.
I think my favorite part of the MLF discourse is that we have both "MLF not being in the cosch of the year candidacy is a travesty" at the same time as we have "if he gets this wrong, he needs to be fired"
I'm so excited. The rebuild is working. Go Pack Go!
Thanks Andy, you've manged to talk me off the ledge and given me cautious optimism. 4-3 or 3-4, I don't care, as long as he's putting the players we have on the roster in the best position to win.
Good therapy session Andy, hopeful!
Why?😊
I am excited and anxious to see what eh can bring to this defense hopefully much more aggression and press man coverage.
Also the idea of a defense that has big plays against them rather than the death by 1000 paper cuts is great. There’s a big difference even between a 22ppg/330ypg defense when you dominate time of possession vs when you get these 8 minute drives that just kill momentum.
Super excited to see what he can do with the secondary!
I'm feeling better about the hire after your deep dive of JH. I'm nervous too but excited for change.
I did notice when they ran 4-3 and objectively they did much better fitting and staying disiplined. Maybe the opposing team wasnt expecting it but I think the 3-4 era is over.
He runs a multiple defense look. If you watch the Boston College defensive highlights against FSU, you will see them line up in at least 4 different fronts in the same game. A couple of plays I had no clue what kind of front they were in. I saw them lined up in a 4-2, a 2-4, a 3-3, possibly a 3-4, and another formation where 6 defenders are all at the line of scrimmage. Unless I wasn't pay super close attention, I don't remember them lining up in a true 4-3 look.
I'm very hopeful. This should show us whether we had the players on D and they just werent utilized properly - or that GB is lacking the talent needed. I love the thought of our CB's being cut loose.
thanks for the insight, def more excited after learning more and more.
As a lifelong cheesehead This is all super exciting! I will say I wish the NFL spent more time and money into creating a flawless officiating system. After all, Lots of games’ fates lies in the hands of the women & men with the whistle.
Excellent video, Andy and Dusty! I have no idea what to expect from this hire as far as scheme, but I'm optimistic and incredibly excited about the prospect of Hafley's defense being the antithesis of Joe Barry's stock prevent D on every 3rd down.
The fact he said he wants to teach again has me excited 💚🧀💛 pair that with talent they have and will draft future's promising.
Great overview of a former "College Coach & a former NFL Coach" and an excellent "Packer Future Coach."
T J (Tom) Vanderloop, Author, Teacher, Mfg.-Consultant, and a I7 Year Old Student at the "I967 ICE BOWL."
I think you did a GREAT Job of explaining the options and this hire. I am with you. I think he is a very good fit. Now we get to "Hide and Watch" as they say! Can't wait for next season! GO PACK GO!!!
Great information Andy! Thanks for putting this together.
I'm really excited about this hire. Obviously the proof will be in the pudding, but I love what I've heard about this guy's coaching style, his intelligence, and the types of schemes he likes to run. What I really love are the people who say that he's really good at breaking down game plans and making them simple and clear for players. I also love his approach that he wants his guys to play all-out without worrying about getting chewed out for making a mistake. If a mistake is made it will get corrected in a teaching context instead. I'm predicting right now I think this guy is going to run a highly effective defense in GB.
What a great spot for this team to be in ... young offense started cooking down stretch so moving forward defense won't have to obsess over explosive plays quite as much. They can be more aggressive at times and sure it won't always be pretty but they'll know offense can help bail them out. Pretty refreshing after all Pettine and Barry's let's die from a million paper cuts style. Our CBs do press coverage well ... let em press!!!
I of course don't watch college and had no idea who this guy was. Upon his hiring and looking on Twitter first it seemed like a lot of people were talking about what kind of defense he runs, and the more I dug and learned about him has led me to personally like this guy. When I heard what Sherman said about him and how he approaches it makes me feel like he is one that will be held accountable and always put the players in the best position. I also like how everyone is saying we will be aggressive, I think it fits how our players are going to want to play. Especially our DBs where you have Ja$ and Valentine who are clearly dogs and such at their position who like to get in the WRs head and play grungy, gritty, tough football. The other thing I like about him of course and what you said is that he has the desire to teach and help players learn what needs to happen and is a great communicator which I think is one of the most important things for a defense to be successful so everybody is on the same page. Overall I love the hire and it seems like we got the guy who is going to fit well with the team.
I'm excited to see that the pass defense is definitely going to be better than Barry's D. I am concerned that the run D is still going to struggle. While he had great success with Ohio St, it was the more challenged part of his game, and with Boston College, he was giving up 5 yards per carry regularly each season. His specialty is secondary work, I just really hope he can bring in a quality D-Line coach to sure that up with the changes that come with his system.
I think Jai is going to love this and will elevate his play. When Barry arrived, Jai got injured, then a recovering bad year of play, then more bad play and injuries this year. While some assume he is risk adverse due to injury, I think the scheme had a lot to do with that. Now we get to see him work under a similar system to his best, which was Pettine. The disguise coverages really helped him. More press play is all welcome for him to be successful.
Cautiously optimistic, but very excited. Going to be interesting to see how he deals with free agents/ draft picks as well
He's an amazing CB developer!
I just want the defense to be aggressive. Go Pack Go.
Yes aggressive with Mahome and the top QB. But not against Baker and Purdy. Let their arm make the mistake.
I love the idea of aggressive defense. The idea of the zone where you keep everything in front of you has its merits but you can't keep that up all the time. Thinking of it as an energy flow idea. If you stay back the offense can increase their energy and the odds are that the offense can get major blocks of yardage per play. Being aggressive increases defensive energy and the odds are that the offense gets lost yardage per play.
The news about keeping all the assistance coaches is worrying me considering how bad the defense was with alignments and miss communication!
Hopefully and excited. Less nervous after your video
I was hopeful, but the more I hear and read, I am getting very excited!
I'm very excited about the hire. I can't believe every College coach isn't looking to bail. College football has been on a downhill trend for years and has very recently become a complete disaster. the NFL game is going to massively suffer for it.
It helped change my mind.
I liked Dustin's insights. Thank you Andy and Dustin!
Can’t say no one predicted this when another podcast made the Hafley as Green Bay DC prediction in November lol. Love the analysis always
I’m here for all of it. Lfg
Most great defensive coordinators had offensive experience. Need to know how offenses like to exploit defenses, so then you can game plan for that. I’m excited about this hire. Way more excited than when Barry was hired. Barry didn’t have good past records.
Andy -- I am cautiously optimistic about hire. Been burned enough times like you mentioned. I was excited about Pettine. Did not love Barry hire. This is a Packers hire for sure. I am trusting MLF that he knows what is at stake. Not so much his job but just the fact with a good defense (not even great) the Packers will bring home a Lombardi with what this offense can do. Now its on Gute to build this team. Freaking excited for next season!
Great content and analysis as always. My morning listen on the way to work! Thanks Andy!
Andy you truly are the best..... from what Dusty was mentioning it sounds like we have a Belichick like (lite lol) defensive coordinator and so far I like what I'm hearing‼️💪🏿🎯💯💯
I think if we would have known we were interviewing him three days ago, people would have been more excited for this hire. To me he has a similar trajectory as Wilson or Parker except has called defenses before and has a play book. You could see either of those guys being in a similar career space if they had moved or did move into college football.
Love the way you talk about football Andy. I went from not liking the hire to actually a bit hopeful. That my friend is talent
From what you've described we absolutely need at least one stud of a safety, and probably another solid corner. I think the rest of the talent is there to play on his strengths as a DC.
Give Jeff a chance. As long as I'm not seeing Preston Smith in coverage, and DBs playing 15 yards off the ball on 3rd and 7, that's a step in the right direction. Has he had a presser yet? I'd like to see it.
I was happy with most of these candidates. Seemed like a win was inevitable here. I'm eager to see what this defense looks like next year.
Last time our defense was great we had Nick Collins. We need to hit on a safety this off season especially if he plays a lot of single safety high. Kamren Kinchens for Miami looks like that guy
Tyler Nubin also would work
Single high safety against Lions and Bears sure makes sense.
Thanks Andy. We got what we wanted with getting rid of JB. Now it's time to hurry up and wait. Sounds like a player's coach. Now to the draft and OTAs
Barry over Ejiro Evero says it all with Matt L's hiring decision.
How could he make that choice when the person you mentioned works for Carolina?!! 🤔
@jqualls7901 Matt L chose Barry over Evero the last go around. Carolina has a top 4 defense this past year. You are now taking about missing out on a super bowl.
@@lancevang9917 THAT WAS 4 YEARS AGO WHY ARE YOU BRINGING IT UP NOW, I CAN SEE IF THIS WAS 4 YEARS AGO, HONESTLY LIKE THIS DIRECTION BETTER..... HATE HOW WE GOT HERE‼️🤷🏿♂️🎯💯💯
Matt L still batting .000 when it comes to defensive hires. I hope this guy gets him to .300. Just calling it how I see it. Batting .300 gets you in the hall of fame.
On the same page as you. Didn't know the guy but checks a lot of the boxes. GPG!
All I want to see is a defense that is as prepared as the offense looks
With the talent we have, I think if this guy is just competent, we can have a really good defense.
Based off what ive learned about this guy, were going to be a top 10-15 defense
Excited, hopeful, trust MLF that he has vetting this hire, and cautiously optimistic with a splash of prove it! GPG!
Good take on this.
Great video. Learned a lot. The big question is...Who is that single high safety?
Excited🎉
Don't forget Pitt and later Bears HC Dave Wannstedt. Wannstedt reporting injuries "He's got a knee"...😊
Great breakdown!
Finally an aggressive defense. Players have to execute. Doesn’t matter the scheme if player don’t execute. So we shall see how he coaches.
Thankx for the input Andy.
Dream on
the more i hear about his resume and player development, definitely feeling more confident about the hire, welcome to GB coach! 🧀
Agreed. I'd rather break occasionally, then bend all the way down the field!
Can you do a show, where you deep dive the Packers current Safeties. I guess I don't understand why everyone doesn't like Johnson. I don't think we've gotten to see enough of him to make that call yet. Am I wrong?
Most other podcasst I've seen have said that Harley used a 4-2-5 at Boston College.
As a die-hard Buckeye fan, I couldn't be more excited. Happy for him, happy for us, and most importantly, I'm happy for the players who, imo, will be put into a position to succeed.
Thats what u said about Barry
@@James-ll3jb I never said no such thing about Barry. You got the wrong guy.
@@daviddavis5657 sure
The signing of a veteran in the safety room and probably 2 in the draft will make this defense sing. We have to hit on a safety that can tackle and run. We need a run stuffer. Jenkins from Michigan would be a good selection.We also need another inside linebacker.
Fine with it. There is always questions. I think good experience. Not a retread, yet not a totally inexperienced guy. I think a totally inexperienced DC is fine if you are a defensive minded HC.
Curious to see how it goes, but bit worried about how many BC fans are excited that Hafley is gone. The word that I read online is that he probably should've been fired after this season, and that the only thing consistent about his defense is how undisciplined they are, often leading the FBS in penalties committed. Hoping we get Ohio State Hafley and not Boston College Hafley.
This needs to be a defense heavy draft early on MLB first round sideline to sideline backer to pair with walker safety in second and third round and dline/edge and corner with they first 5 pics
Just got to wait and see
Now let’s grab Tyler Nubin day 1
I'd take both Kinchens and Bullock before 50...and I think we should do just that.
I was struck by something you said...2years ago? Who is better? The words you said that falls me with hope is effective teacher
My new NFL script fan fiction: The Jets are a powder keg and when it explodes Saleh lands in Green Bay but not as DC. Jeff Hafley remains the Xs and Os DC but Saleh becomes the "Across the hall" guy bridging the offensive and defensive coaches as well as a rally the troops guy for the players somewhat similar to what a HC that doesn't play call and coordinate the offense might. Call his position assistant head coach or senior advisor or whatever job title you want to make up but he and MLF run the team together in lockstep
Sounds like no one will score on us next year
I'm hopeful multiple fronts and schemes his players buy into him and believe more aggressive style with head coaching experience. 🎉
Please no more Preston covering Adams😂
No more soft zones.
I am very optimistic! can't be worse than Barry...
Randy macho man yeah
Knowing how to coach is different from what you coach. Hopefully, he picked up some good knowledge throughout his previous experiences 👍
This will need time to see how it works out . I am good with this hire , more so than if Staley would have gotten the gig , that would be a huge mistake .
