Green Bay Packers fans got their first look at new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley on Thursday. The 44-year-old coach impressed a lot of fans with what he had to say regarding his plans for the defense as well as his mindset going into the season.
He was asked numerous questions about what he plans to bring to Green Bay, and one announcement certainly stood out.
Green Bay Packers Defensive Coordinator Makes Incredible Announcement Regarding Defense
Per Tom Sliverstein:
Even though the 49ers defense isn’t a a pressure scheme, Hafley said people will see some exotic looks and pressures on certain downs and distances.
He worked in the Rex Ryan defense under Mike Pettine in Cleveland and learned a lot about pressure.
For years, the Packers’ defense has been at their best when they are getting pressure on the quarterback. That is exactly what Hafley intends to do.
LaFleur said that scheme wasn’t as important to him with the Hafley hire as style of play. And he said the hallmark of the 49ers, Jets and Texans defenses — all similar to what Hafley will run — is they are physical and relentless. “It just comes down to that style.”
The Packers ranked 16th in sacks last season with 45. Getting that number into the top ten or even top five would do wonders for this defense. The Packers have studs at OLB like Rashan Gary, Preston Smith, and Lukas Van Ness. Getting the most out of their game will be a top priority for Hafley’s defense.
