Official Fire Jeff Hafley Thread

[George Cumby]

When's the last time we had eight minutes of defensive highlights?

This defense is only going to get better. We got some serious horses, y'all. At every level of the defense.

LVN's backside pursuit and TFL was kick ass.

Joe Barry made me miss Mike Pettine. A lot. There's no reason the dude should be a DC, let alone OUR DC.

I would feel more confident about this defense if Xavier McKinney would remove that pineapple from his head.

Why? the pineapple is working. Embrace the pineapple!

4-3 > 3-4. Do the math.

I would feel more confident about this defense if Xavier McKinney would remove that pineapple from his head.

And there's his nickname from now on. I've been struggling with a few of the names on this year's roster but thanks to you, and because you obviously know, because you're obviously The Shadow, I can now yell something unexpected and funny at the TV whenever he makes a play.

I can hear it now:

"PINEAPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!!!!!"

X needs to get himself the top piece:

Eight sacks.

8.

EIGHT.

Teams switch between them a lot more now. I think the players you have and the offenses you face matter more than the front.
Also, coaching matters. Hafley may or may not be an above average DC, but he's already shown he's better than Barry.

They went NASCAR on the Titans, Hafley also sent SIX after Levis on 3rd and long - more than once. Barry would almost never do that. I bet he sent six on a miniscule fraction of snaps.
When it's 3rd down and a passing situation, I'd rather go after the QB and make them rush their throw than sit back, let the QB complete a pass, and then rally to the tackle.
Teams are less afraid to go for it on 4th down, stopping them 2 yards short on 3rd down isn't an automatic change of possession anymore.

Also - having actual safeties who are better than special teams guys makes a big difference. McKinney is worth the contract so far. Bullard and Williams have been pretty solid as rookies.

[texaspackerbacker]

I'm really getting on the Hafley bandwagon. I don't recall a Packer D looking that dominant for decades. We'll see if it continues against better teams, but things are looking good.

2023 Packers Defense - 7 Picks ( ALL SEASON )
2024 Packers Defense - 7 picks ( in first three games )

That pretty much says all you need to say.

Joe Barry (throws brick at TV), "He's got McKinney and Bullard. I had Savage and Owens!"

[CaptainKickass]

Eight sacks.

8.

EIGHT.

I read somewhere that it was eight sacks for something like -58 yards

I know what you did there and we will not entertain that rubbish.

Upgraded version of the “Psycho.”

Ole Dom Capers’ version featured a Yokozuna. Hafley’s replaces the Yokozuna with another OLBer. Packers had two sacks or the such off the Psycho vs. the Tyrants.
