The Green Bay Packers’ hiring of Jonathan Gannon as their defensive coordinator will likely bring about changes to the structure of the Packers’ defense. As highlighted on this website by our own Justis Mosqueda, the Packers will almost certainly be transitioning from Jeff Hafley’s predominantly single-high or two-high spin structures back into a predominantly split-safety […]
We’re still in the table-setting portion of our NFL draft coverage, so here I wanted to take a look at the entire draft landscape in one shot. A question I get often from Green Bay Packers fans is about which positions are strong or weak in this upcoming class. So I want to answer that […]

Packers fans who love the NFL Draft are in an interesting predicament this offseason. On the one hand, the Packers have no first round pick this year (or next) thanks to the Micah Parsons trade. That makes the top end of the draft significantly less interesting. But on the other hand, the Packers’ lack of […]
The Steelers’ head coaching search ended over the weekend with Pittsburgh hiring former Cowboys and Packers head coach Mike McCarthy for the job on Jan. 24.

Keisean Nixon, I just can’t quit you. The Packers cornerback has been named to his first Pro Bowl, replacing Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon as Seattle heads to the Super Bowl.

Decision points always create questions, and Matt LaFleur’s decision to hire Jonathan Gannon as his next defensive coordinator will be no different. There is plenty to question, too, though we won’t know the answers for a long, long time. Was Gannon the right hire? Only time will tell. Should LaFleur have gone with soe of […]
There’s a new known candidate in the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive coordinator search. The Birds interviewed Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sam Mannion, according to a report from Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports.

Let’s keep chipping away at what new Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon will bring to the green and gold. Earlier today, we broke down his career resume. This time, we’re going to do a deep dive into the types of coverages that he runs. Spoiler: He loves Quarters/Cover 4. To set the table, […]
Jeff Hafley’s poaching of the Green Bay Packers’ coaching staff has officially begun. On Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC in Houston reported that the new Miami Dolphins head coach is bringing the Packers’ defensive backs coach, Ryan Downard, with him to Miami. Wilson did not report details on what Downard’s responsibilities will be with the […]
With the Miami Dolphins hiring new wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert from the Tennessee Titans this weekend, it was time for the defense to get in on the fun. On Monday, NFL insider Aaron Wilson reported that the team had hired Green Bay Packers defensive backs coach Ryan Downard — with a separate social media […]
The San Francisco 49ers had a ton of starters hit the open market in free agency last offseason and found lucrative deals elsewhere. Aaron Banks got a four-year, $77 million deal with the Green Bay Packers. Charvarius Ward got three years and $54 million with the Indianapolis Colts. Javon Hargrave became a crucial piece for […]
After taking on some potential cap casualties that could result in actual roster movement, we’re now firmly in what I’d gently refer to as the “bad news” portion of this project. Elgton Jenkins? Probably gone, and for understandable reasons. Same goes for Rashan Gary. Even Josh Jacobs might make some sense. But as much anger […]
The race to become the Tennessee Titans’ offensive coordinator is beginning to heat up. The Titans interviewed three candidates on Monday, according to Paul Kuharsky. They are Kliff Kingsbury, former Bucs QB coach Thad Lewis, and current Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich. Meanwhile former Bills head coach Brian Daboll is the fourth candidate. There’s a […]

On Sunday, multiple reports indicated that the team had hired a new wide receivers coach — Tyke Tolbert. He replaces former receivers […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coaching search ended with the hiring of Pittsburgh native Mike McCarthy. McCarthy found success with both the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, respectively, and sat out the 2025 season after his contract with the Cowboys expired following the 2024 campaign. There are many aspects of the roster that the Steelers […]
If you haven’t heard, the Green Bay Packers have hired former Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon to be Jeff Hafley’s replacement as the team’s next defensive coordinator. Here, I want to take the time to look at Gannon’s entire coaching journey and find some long-term connections that he’s had with other coaches before we […]
This is our second scouting report of draft season, after focusing on Alabama cornerback Domani Jackson in our first piece. Arizona’s Tacario Davis is another potential Day 2 cornerback selection, which will be the range in which the Green Bay Packers will draft a new starter at the position this April, if they get a […]
We’ll have more stuff on the hiring of new Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon throughout the week, as there are a lot of angles to examine for what should be the biggest move that the Packers make in the 2026 offseason, but I want to get this one up quickly, because it’s a […]
