Simplifying the defense's overall approach so their players could play fast was central to Hafley and Mattison's mission and the numbers speak for themselves.
Playing far less man press and instead deploying more zone looks, rolling almost exclusively with a single high safety and showing multiple linebacker schemes all paid dividends in limiting the big plays Ohio State gave up seemingly at will in 2018.
With Hafley guiding the secondary, Ohio State's pass defense is performing nearly 100 yards per game better than a season ago. The Buckeyes also have 15 interceptions so far this year, good for No. 9 nationally.
Overall, his defense is giving up less than four yards per play, leading the country, and easily the best mark of any Ohio State defense dating back to at least Urban Meyer's arrival.
Hafley’s two assistant DB coaches with the Browns were were Bobby Babich and Aaron Glenn. Ryan Downard, the Packers’ current DBs coach, was also a defensive assistant for the Browns.
