The Packers haven’t finished in the top half of the NFL in tackles for losses since 2017. New defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley hopes his defense can throw opponents for a loss in 2024.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Last year, the Green Bay Packers tied for 22nd in the NFL with 76 tackles for losses. The first-place Cleveland Browns had 113; the last-place New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings had 70.In 2021, the Packers were last in the NFL with 52 tackles for losses.
There’s a new defensive coordinator, with Jeff Hafley bringing in a new scheme and a new way of doing business. That mentality will start on the defensive line led by Jason Rebrovich. “But it’s about TFLs and sacks. We’re going to look to create havoc in the backfield. Every down, we’re looking to penetrate and make something big happen.”
That, in theory, will improve a run defense that ranks last in the NFL in yards allowed per carry during Matt LaFleur’s five seasons as coach.
