While new Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley hasn’t ever called his own defense at the NFL level, there are hints as to what he might want to do on the field with the green and gold. At both Ohio State and Boston College, his two stops since he left the San Francisco 49ers in 2018, he’s run defenses that major in single-high coverage — a staple of the Seattle Seahawks/49ers tree that he hails from.
From a personnel perspective, though, who will be on the field? At this point, you’ve probably heard that Hafley will run these single-high coverages, Cover 1 and Cover 3, but how will he decide which players can actually get the job done?
