[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1090298, member: 17987"] So I don't mean this as a huge slam on Hafley...but I am kind of curious as to why it seems like he has made it through the season without receiving that much criticism? Obviously the Parsons injury was a huge blow, but that happened in week 15...and for the 14 weeks prior, outside of Parsons himself being electric, it's not like the rest of the defense was setting the world on fire... In 2024, the Packers defense was... 6th in points allowed 5th in yards allowed Tied for 5th in yards allowed per play 4th in takeaways Tied for 10th in net yards per pass attempt against 3rd in yards allowed per rush 5th in scoring percentage allowed (drives ending in a score) 3rd in turnover percentage (drives ending with a turnover) 4th in expected points contribution, defense Tied for 8th in sacks 14th in pressures 16th in pressure percentage 4th in total EPA allowed per play 20th in defensive success rate 4th in passing EPA allowed 28th in pass defense success rate 8th in rush EPA allowed 9th in rush defense success rate And in 2025, it was.... 11th in points allowed [B](-5)[/B] 12th in yards allowed [B](-7)[/B] 9th in yards allowed per play [B](-4)[/B] 28th in takeaways [B](-24)[/B] 8th in net yards per pass attempt against [B][COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)](+2)[/COLOR][/B] Tied for 10th in yards allowed per rush [B](-7)[/B] 24th in scoring percentage [B](-19)[/B] Tied for 25th in turnover percentage [B](-22)[/B] 19th in expected points contribution [B](-15)[/B] 20th in sacks [B](-12)[/B] 6th in pressures [B][COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)](+8)[/COLOR][/B] 7th in pressure percentage [B][COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)](+9)[/COLOR][/B] 22nd in total EPA per play allowed [B](-18)[/B] 19th in defensive success rate [B](-15)[/B] 22nd in passing EPA allowed [B](-18)[/B] 13th in pass defense success rate [B][COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)](+15)[/COLOR][/B] 18th in rush EPA allowed [B](-10)[/B] 28th in rush defense success rate [B](-19)[/B] Basically, it feels like we added Micah Parsons and improved in getting more pressures....but regressed basically everywhere else. Kind of playing devil's advocate here but what are other teams seeing that has them convinced of HC material? [/QUOTE]
