This hire was definitely out of left
field, and I can’t say I love it or hate it. Nonetheless, his name isn’t Joe
Barry or Brandon Staley, so I think the Packers are off to a pretty good start.
One thing I’ve noticed that Hafley
preaches to his defense is the importance of press-man coverage. Press-man
coverage? On the Green Bay Packers’ defense? This can’t be real.
“Love press man. Got to be able to play press man. Have to be able to." Jeff Hafley. Ok, I'm in.

There’s definitely more to that
philosophy that the Packers liked when they interviewed this guy, but you have
to think that was taken into consideration heavily. The team needs a complete
rebrand on defense if they want to make a run at the Super Bowl in the near
future.
More news is for sure to come out
about this hire, but the Packers must like what they see in Hafley considering
how quickly this decision was made.
