Its all fine and dandy to find good posts about this hire but people said the same about Barry. Also, can this guy adjust in gane if his plan isnt working? That was one of our flaws. Also, whos going to be this free saftety to play cover 1?

This hire has more questions then answers and history tells me thats a bad thing.

I hope i eat my words one day

They are pouring in and if/when I find something negative, I'll post that too. Right now it seems most are surprised about the hire because their precious ego's were stroked by a name they heard. And folks are doing research rather than running their mouth crying about "LaFleur hiring another buddy, just fire the HC already!!!" like we see some doing.

Also, can this guy adjust if his scheme isnt working? That was one of our flaws.

Here is another example of a thread on Tweeter. Dusty is actually WATCHING film and giving his input.

If he can teach these guys how to tackle properly that will be a huge step forward. There were way too many missed tackles over the past 3-4-5 years.

Man, it sure is nice hearing positive things about the new DC hire. Beats the BS we heard nonstop about the previous hire.

I want to say up front that I was not a fan of the Joe Barry hire - just go back and look at my posts (er, from my original account). From the start it looked like the Matt LaFleur messed up both the process and outcome when hiring Joe Barry.

With that said, this looks like a fantastic hire! Hafley seems to 1) bring everything to the table that we thought we'd be getting from Pettine on D (aggressiveness, disguising, back-end communication, good chaos), 2) be well-versed in multiple schemes (he traced his roots back to Dave Wannstedt in the Adam Breneman podcast on Youtube), 3) have an understanding of tendencies / what is in vogue with NFL offenses, as well as a modern approach to seeking out analytics to have the most information at his fingertips, and 4) have a solid pedigree of working with HOF players (Rondae Barber, Darrell Revis, Richard Sherman) meshed with a down-to-earth approach that shows he cares about his players as human beings and them having success.

There were a lot of things and traits I liked across specific DC candidates who we were reported to have interviewed (young in age and newer approach to the game, exposure to multiple defensive schemes, having strong exposure to DB coaching / being a DB coach, blending life lessons into the game of football, and having a good head on their shoulders with a willingness to work hard to move up the coaching ranks really young). Jeff Hafley seems to have all those traits in one person, while also having gone completely under the radar on having interviewed (shows me he knows how to keep his head down and mind his business). For all the faults that seemed to be lingering with the Joe Barry hire, my initial take is that everything revolving around this hire is the complete opposite and "feels" like the outcome of a Head Coach that knew what he wanted and implemented a solid process to get a right-minded approach and defensive coach for his team.

I think I cried tears of joy when Hafley mentioned it was important to get into the head of a player after a bad play to understand what he saw / what he was thinking rather than just yelling. Hafley distilling playing press man into a power-point slide with 3 bullet points? Hard to argue with an approach that keeps things simple and straightforward - especially when you will likely have a very young DB room. When Hafley says on the Youtube podcast that Richard Sherman knew more about zone coverage than what Hafley could teach him, I get an eerie feeling of similarity to Joe Whitt Jr. saying he wasn't going to teach Charles Woodson about man coverage... there is a zen-like weirdness in having the confidence to be up front and candid about what you can't do for a HOF player as a coach.

Jeff Hafley definitely isn't the sexiest name, but this time around I'm inclined to give Matt LaFleur the benefit of the doubt given the high caliber of candidates who interviewed and the glimpses I'm seeing of Hafley straight from his own words. The only issue I have is that Hafley readily admits in the podcast on Youtube that it takes a few years to get everyone comfortable with a system/scheme and to see the results. I'm not sure Hafley will have a few years grace period (maybe two years at most), so I'm hoping he can at least show our defense is making some strides in the right direction over the next couple of years. We've tried the "popular" approach with Dom Capers and Mike Pettine, and the results were mostly 'meh'. I don't mind taking a swing with the 'off the beat' choice of someone without the name recognition that has a pretty impressive head on his shoulders exudes a humble confidence about being good enough to make it.

As with most fans, I wasn't overly familiar with our new DC. I looked up some info about him and I can see why they hired him. He has a more aggressive approach than what we have been seeing over the last several seasons - something we need more of. Some criticism has been made about his record as a head coach, but he's had success on the defensive side of the ball. With young players in our secondary he may be able to contribute to their development and hopefully bring some physicality to that group of players.

It's hard to say how it will play out, but at least it seems like we are moving away from the vomit-inducing soft zone approach.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
