Couple that with the decision to not only switch DC’s, but really start from scratch in an entirely new System on the Defensive side. The reality we are left with is we made a substantial conversion on Defense. A more typical expectation would be in the second or third year where we are able to analyze our current group and make adjustments. Then ideally address the weaker links in the following FA and draft etc.In retrospect and looking from a broad view, Hafley hadn’t done bad at all. He's really picked up about where Barry left off and initially kept this D group performing adequate to good. Not to get derailed but after watching the Detroit game, we did allow a few additional chunk Run plays, but we didn’t get blown out either.  We were operating with Nixon often on St Brown and seemed to play it safe by dropping into a zone feel. It allowed some medium grade chunks, but again it was respectable performance against a highly talented opponent.  There’s a realistic chance if J’aire played he takes away a play or two there. Nixon was really an unfair matchup against one of the NFL’s premier Wideouts.</blockquote>
