Pete Dougherty: Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley must get more creative with his pass rush

GREEN BAY – Four games into the season, new Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley has a lot more information about his players than he did a month ago.

Among the lessons is that the Packers’ pass rush along the front four isn’t as disruptive as he’d projected going into the season or as good as it looked sacking the Tennessee Titans’ struggling second-year quarterback Will Levis eight times last week. Going forward, Hafley probably will have to be quicker working in blitzes and unexpected combinations of four-man rushes than he was against the Minnesota Vikings.
