Holy shit THIS IS A GREAT EPISODE
One of the best out there. Every point he makes is valid
I have a strong feeling that other teams are going to dread the Packers defense this coming year what I have seen and heard about Jeff Hafley is positive
Jeff Hasley’s 2nd season with the Browns under Patton his defense was #1 in opponents passer rating, #1 in completion percentage, #1 in pass defense, #2 in interceptions, then in 2016-2018 he took the 49ers from the 27th overall to the 11th overall passing defense in the league, then in 2019 he goes to Ohio State and they have the #1 defense in college football. And during his stint as a head coach at Boston College he set a lot of records there. He got them their 1st win on a AP top 25 team with a win over the 17th ranked NC State.
Facts
I haven't had hope for and/or liked our DC since the early capers days. This hire actually gives me a bit of faith
Damn, if this didn't get you excited I don't know what that'll take. Think about what an even mild jump for the "D" from 17 to 12, 10, or better will do for this offense. Just seeing the D-Backs line up less than 10 yds off the LOS will be a treat by itself.
Format on this episode was fantastic
Man, this is some of your best work! Great job Peter!
Jeff can have everything I own if we win the Superbowl
We’ll start a GoFundMe for you after the Packers win it all 😂😂
Can’t sleep but at least I get to watch locked on Packers early 😤
I really appreciate you putting this together, Peter. This was very well done and very informative to show what this guy who virtually none of us packer fans heard about and after watching this video I'm much more confident LaFleur and the Packers got the right guy. Can't wait for next season to see what we can do with all that talent on defense and to see what Jordan Love can do with a year of experience under his belt.
Day in and day out your analysis of Packer news beats those other talking heads podcasts by a mile. Always smart and interesting.
That 6 am video start time 💪💪 love this different kind of video! Go pack go!
Pete!! This is by far my favorite episode! Thanks for getting all of those clips together
I coach youth football with Jeff's bro in law. Have heard nothing but good things about him throughout the years
Excellent episode Peter!! I can't help but feel optimistic with this DC hire. And I REALLY appreciate adding clips of our new DC speaking about his defensive philosophy, how he enjoys teaching fundamentals (tackling etc), which has been sorely sub par under JB. There was a disconnect & I feel like JB was not a good teacher & leader of men. I think JH will be..
When I first heard about the JH hire, I was immediately encouraged bc he was not on anybody's radar & the more I researched the more I liked, esp. the improvement w/ OSU defense.
Thanks for the awesome show. You're deserving of many more subscribers!! Go Pack Go💚💛
Our defense is going to be scary with this guy!!! I’m hyped!!! Go pack Go!!
A COACH first coach . How refreshing .
amazing content. I’m liking this guys energy already.
Hafley is now our DC so I wish him well. Not having a vet safety on the roster Puts him in a tough spot but if he can't figure out run defense "Packer fans you hear me" it will just be the same old pack
Great show today. Saw a lot more about Hafley and his thoughts on DB responsibilities. Thanks for your efforts!
This earned my subscription. Fantastic coverage.
Good compilation of all the video snippets.
He seems like a perfect fit for our athletes on defense. He also kinda reminds me of Lafleur's mentality and attention to detail. I love he's a film junkie. I really hope our guys adapt quickly to his scheme, it could help their careers and the team as a whole. I also like the four man front. We did that effectively on our four game run at the end of the season including playoffs. He'll get our DBs on the same page, working as one unit. I can't wait for training camp. I think the players will love this guy. He and Lafleur should work well together. He really seems to be a sharp guy.
Your best episode in a long time. I would describe it as definitive. Take care.
Great show, very informative as usual go pack go
Yea this was a good one
So excited to see what this defense can do now. Jeff seems smart and focused.
Awesome episode!! Thanks for parsing these clips together and for adding your own color commentary to it!
This guy wasn't a good hire. He was a great hire. This is not only a leader of men, but a student of the game. He is a young mind, open to change, open to different levels of player talent and most importantly open to solving the challenges presented by NFL Offensives. This is the Packers answer to Lafluer's offense. A situation where now, the defense can be as creative and as dynamic as the team's offense. I believe this hire will pay off in Championships, not singular, but multiple. In the end I see Hafley as a head coach in the NFL. Maybe in Green Bay, depending on where Lafluer ultimately wants to be after winning a championship. Things are looking very good in Green Bay at every level. Congrats!
Dang, I just ran into the brick wall in my basement office--looks like broken forearm and nose....no problem love my new Coach....GPG
Hearing him just talk, seems very smart and knows ball for sure
Bill Ankeny----- Loved your episode, great job putting this together. Can't wait to finally hear Hafley's press conference.
Love this format
Loved this. Great job Peter.
Excellent episode. The future looks bright. GPG
I have been watching your videos daily for more than two years. This is the video that made me subscribe! This was a pleasure to watch.
" your team every day"!! Is this gal available? She rocks!
Great job Peter! Thanks!
Just found your CZcams and this is awesome content. Go Pack Go
Fantastic episode. Brilliant creative idea
Well I like him already. What he's throwing down sounds exactly what the Pack needs!
I will try to remember this if the defense comes out rough at the beginning of the season. The team probably starts rough but hopefully rounds into playoff form.
Go Pack Go 🧀
Alright you won me over with this one ☝🏾😎🔥🔥🔥 had to subscribe
Awesome episode Peter!
🗣️LETS GOOOOOO! 😤
Awesome episode bro! 💚👏
Very insightful video 👍
Really well done video, Peter
when MLF took over and Quay started coming on Late Blitz and was able to play perfect when he had to spy..the man is dominate..just needs someone on the opposite side with the same mentality and speed
Just intial gut feeling i think this guy is going to work out for us. Were not asking for the #1 defense in football. Top 8-10 though considering all talent (especially 1st round, which i see us adding another one this coming draft). I think with that and another year of growth from all the youth on offense GB can be a very good team for years to come.
This was really well done. You should make this format a weekly thing. Music is only questionable part. Maybe just a bit lower in the mix. Well done sir
Great episode. Just cut the wierd music lol
Absolute W of an episode.
Keishean Nixon seems more suited to safety, where he can be in a position to track the ball and break on it. And crash down as needed for the run.
Subbing this is a Supurb channel ! ❤ thanks from Butte Mt , fan since 65’ thanks God Barry is gone finally . More man , more aggressive , draft a superb safety/nickel . Yes !!! GPG !!!!
So he’s a db coach and secondary guy. Imagine, if you will, a future where he can make the secondary as elite as they should be and play more man and TEE off on qbs. I like this hire. A lot.
I'm excited! It sounds like this guy really knows defense and will dictate to the offense. I'm excited. I think the packers made a really good higher go pack go
from my cryptic hearing, i feel like the packers are going to let savage walk, make stokes work more for his role , and see where ballentine and vallentine are in secondary along with newly acquired draft picks .what a time to be a packers fan. GopackGo
Good job dude
This was such a good video
Thanks
I think Green Bay did it again. They went off the beaten path and found the best option that fits their situation. Exciting times for sure.
He says it's not him taking in this video then talks for 4 mins straight. Lol. Just found that funny my guy!
aggressive scheme, film grinder, beat coach voice...i'm all in on Haff
This is real good
Sound like Matt may of asked Jeff for advice on how to improve the defense last year they start doing what he likes and it gets better. Suspicious
Alright, I'm getting excited about this guy.
He seems like he is going to be a good fit. My one complaint is the chair is to big and makes him look small.
I need to see how he schemes against run situations
Facts
when you went live to to discuss the hire, I commented that it was a poor decision. well after digging deeper, and as more people/players speak on Hafley, I must admit that I was wrong
Never heard of him until now 😂
The biggest problem with our defensive staff is there was no successor or up and comer. The d staff is where new ideas and ambition go to die. The offense has a coordinator, quarterbacks coach and interns groomed to succeed their teachers or move on to achieve to own success. Who on the defensive staff can we say that about? We need to develop in-house candidates to succeed our coordinators!
You mean GB wont have the DB's playing 10 - 15 yards off the receiver. ? How refreshing...
Sign me up for this defense.
Super Bowl 59 and 60
Makes me want to look at tape lol
If stokes has a problem turning and looking for the ball then he should be in the slot receiver!!!
G🏈 Pack G🧀!!!
I dont know the guy... im not gonna say he's gonna fail. But this really upsets me more in a different way. that is because GB defense has been the main focus since Gutekunst arrived. Im sure all of you know that he out if the last 8 drafts he has tuned as many 1st round draft picks on defensive players. Yes. Out of 8 number ones 7 of them have been on defense =. the one he didn't was when he took love.
Out of those 7 first round defensive players the defense still hasn't been great. But what I find interesting that no one seems to pay attention to is that the defense Joe Barry has and as bad as they were. they in the last 2 playoff games vs the 49ers. this defense have kept them from running away with the game. the last two playoff games the offense couldnt come thru.
Im not saying firing Barry was a bad idea. im saying in the most important games we need to have in the playoffs his piss poor defense kept them close enough to steal those games.
SF people is what's in the packers way of winning a super bowl. That is the packers kryptonite. I dont care about the win vs Dallas. because Dallas has a problem of faming out and they aren't the team that is in our way.
if the defense has done so well vs the 49ers. It has to be that the problem is Joe Barry. not the players on defense. So they get a new guy. but now what if they get rid of some darn good players due to the switch from 34 to 43. The players needed to play a 43 are not on the roster. in a 34 smith, Gary, Campbell and walker are all linebackers. the scheme in the 34 is zone. zone play at there back end and zone play is heavily used in the linebacker position in a 34.
In a 43 the outside linebackers are asked to play man coverage maybe 90% of the time. who out of these linebackers can run with offensive players in man coverage? Gary can't! smith maybe but thats 50-50. more than likely he won't be able to because he isn't very young. Also who is gonna be willing to give up inside backer since now there is only one in a 34? walker? Campbell? maybe Campbell won't return?
also a 43 is more effective when you have 6-3 corners and safeties. they need to be very physical. GB dont have that. maybe Alexander but he is also old. Seriously. the strongest area they will have switching to this defense will be the interior of it with Wyatt and clark playing tackle. Lets say both aren't tackles and will be asked to be defensive ends. which maybe the case. than the interior would demand instant needs. because the packers after Wyatt and clark dont have there guys. so what I am saying is the offense still needs work and here they will be again focusing on defense and not offense when I truly believe Jordan is a playmaker or two away from getting them passed SF.
Its a continuous problem and GB always seems to tare it up and do it over on defense. meanwhile people are wondering why can't they get back to the big game. that reason is because we pay less attention to offense and we are in a offensive driven league. What if this guy bombs?
Honestly, a housewife from Wichita would have been an upgrade from Joe Barry, so this new guy can’t fail.
GPG!
Crazy,but I think at this point he already knew he was getting that job with the Pack.
Submitted for Your Approval 🎶
Well, the defense has pretty much sucked the last few seasons so what's the worse that could happen
He sounds just like John Benthal😂
We have had good defenses. But always a mediocre defensive coach. It will be a great season to watch next year. Lots of pieces coming together.
The best defensive coordinators are almost all dudes with 10-15 years of NFL coordinating experience. Schwartz, Quinn, Spanuolo etc. They've seen everything. Some college coach who faced weak arm QBs in rudimentary offenses is going to fail in the NFL.
Turned into a 60 minutes episode with that intro, haha. What’s with the character change?
Hot seat?!?! They just beat a ranked team in a bowl game. Seems like they were trending up. It's Boston College for crying out loud 🤷
Pretty sweet i dont have to listen to u all episode
The music is so annoying
Why is this episode so scripted lol weird
Nice research in this video. But please don't start playing cringe beats behind your commentary
Who cares about the music?
Why do you INSIST on being cringe?…. I wouldn’t bitch if it didn’t seem so intentional. Otherwise great show as always.
Holy shoot dude get to the point.😂😂😂
Most of you guys that cover packer. Football make verbal mistakes. Leading me to believe that you need to take more time to learn the game.. ie 3/4 vs 4/3. Mistake on yesterdays show. Middle of the field open vs closed. Mistake on todays show. I love your show and listen everyday. But. There arre only 4 defenses you can play in football....odd front 1 high, odd front 2 high. Even front 1 high, even front 2 high. Middle of the field open is 2 high. Middle of the field closed is 1 high. The difference between 33 and 43 is 2 gapping a player or 1 gapping everyone. You can also 2 gap someone in 43 and 1 gap someone in 34. Wasted breath on these differences is unheeded
Study the difference between a 5 technique. A 7 technique.. A 6 technique and a 9 technique period that will be very beneficial to you as a football reporter. Again, I love your show.
Have you seen the othe locked on shows?? This dude the best and it’s not even close. You shouldn’t nit pick he probably read it wrong or something
I just woke up and started watching this and stumbled upon your comment. I fell back asleep twice reading all this.
Why don't you have your own channel then if your Mr. Expert. Peter is more knowledgeable than most who do Pack content. He is professional & smart. Quit the nitpicky comments--if you don't like his content go elsewhere. So much negativity is just plain tiresome.
*you're
