Makes sense to have a def.coach helping with the offense. He looks at what the offense is doing and shows how an defense will attack it. Then adjustments can be made and then have the mindset to what the def. would counter with. Same thing with an offensive guy working with the defense.
It also prevents speculation that there are any issues with Hafley running his side of the ball. MLF said as much in his presser.
Could be that Salah is not employed by the Packers but he is being paid as an independent contractor only offering advice. Happens a lot in business. Packers avoid insurance, S S taxes, etc.

He is MLF's best friend. Could be no more than telling him to come hang out for a few days in Green Bay instead of sitting around and stewing that AR got him fired.
Also, if GB does win the Super Bowl, maybe Hafley will get hired by the Jets as their new coach. Then, Saleh can step in and we can have the jets pay the majority of our DC's salary next year.
@ilcuqui posted:Many contracts are set up so that pay from the original team is reduced by the extent of pay from the new employer.
In addition, I think there is/are clause(s) that coaches in this situation are required to seek employment. IOW, they can't just take a 2 (or however many) year paid vacation.
If memory further serves, if they are offered a commensurate position with another team and don't accept it, it reduces the money the fired coach gets.
There are much better minds than mine that could answer these.
Perhaps someone with an X account could ask Mr. Brandt for comments....
Another set of eyes, with a defensive mindset, to assist MLF in how best to exploit the opponents defense.
Sounds like it may be a part time role and "fluid" per MLF.
I can see his job title as Offensive Attack Coordinator, or OAC.
Not to mention the dolphins, seahags, and jaguars are all on our schedule. Saleh played Miami 2x/yer. Might also have some advanced scouting from the jets regarding the other two. Can't hurt.
Imagine the commiserating between Saleh and LaFleur behind closed doors about AR. I'd love to listen in on that.

If the Pack can’t beat them without Saleh they ain’t goin nowhere.

Was he supposed to win a free Honda Element or something for that?

CB Corey Ballentine was the only non-participant.
Never underestimate another team. I remember the ‘97 season when we were defending Super Bowl champs. We played the Colts, who at that time were the worst team in the league and they beat us. NEVER assume you can get a win easily. JAX may look like a gimme, but I don’t think you can go into a game with that attitude and perform your best.
I love where this team is heading. I am excited to see how they perform the rest of the way.
p.s. Maybe one of the reasons I’m concerned about this game is because my ONLY trip to see a game at Lambeau was with my son in 2012. We were heavily favored and just barely squeezed out a victory. Granted, Jordy and a few others were injured, but it should have been a blowout. But it WAS a victory and we saw Donald Driver’s last TD reception and also saw the Packers block a punt and recover it in the end zone for a TD, something that hadn’t happened in many years.
I'd be in favor of bringing back D-Wy slowly out of an abundance of caution, and saving him for Detoilet. First off, I think there's enough talent at his spot to get the win in JAX. Second, that heat and humidity can be murder on a big man...they become more prone to hamstring and groin injuries. Let the big man practice, but don't play him. He's much more vital to the long run than this game.
That Quay is back so quickly says the concussion was minor...you get out of the protocol when you pass all the tests. There is not getting out of it...they will use an abundance of caution...NFL policy says so.

Lots of dudes with strong legs...only handful can do what these guys do consistently. There is a ton of wiggle room at every other position for error...for kickers and punters the margin of error is inches and tenths of seconds.
That he didn't even grow up playing the game makes it more impressive. At least the Aussies KIND OF grow up playing something that is similar to football. This kid was only kicking round things the first 20 or so years of his life.
Vegas knows shit. Last I looked GB was a 3.5 point favorite, which on the surface looks very low to me but maybe not.

They were -2.5 to the Texans. Won by 2. Vegas knows.
They opened at -0.5 and are now -4. That's a substantial move with a ton of money on the Packers.
Below is the Moneyline and you can see that has moved a lot as well.

Ballentine was inside watching film on blocking positions for punt coverage gunners.
I kid. I blame K9 for the TO.
Bryan Bulaga (Ah-wuh...) is always a great listen...
Something tells me this game is going to be lot closer than some people think. But, I do think the Packers will prevail.
I suspect it will be a tied game when it starts, but that the Packers will quickly pull away after that.

Last week I called it correctly.
This week.....
Packers by 16 & the game won't even be that close
Packers once again a very healthy group going into Jax.
Curious about Wyatt. He practiced the whole week and per reports, he looked good. Do they hold him out one more week to face DET? Or play him now..
Corey Ballentine the lone player staying inside as the #Packers head out for Friday practice.

Definitely feels like a game this team would have lost in 2021 or 2022.
Keep the turnovers to 1 or less and the flags to 5 or less and win this one going away.
27-13.
