If the Green Bay Packers defense is going to improve in 2024, one important element is going to be creating more turnovers, specifically interceptions.
Last season, the Packers generated just seven interceptions, the second-fewest in football. In fact, generally speaking, the secondary didn’t even make many plays on the ball, ranking 23rd in pass breakups.
Getting more on-ball production from the cornerbacks and safeties will be a key priority for new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley.
In part, a more aggressive style of defense – with more Cover-1 and press coverage looks – and a willingness to adapt and adjust should put the defenders in more positions where they have the opportunity to make plays.
