I haven't heard many folks that think the transition will be difficult. We brought in folks up front who have played in a 3-4 and guys like Shaq have played in one under Rivera.  We do have the personnel to run it. The bigger issue is how comfortable the players are running it and can they play without overthinking things.

There will be a transition. Make no mistake about that. We have 1's who can go, but we lack depth.

Not sure why you feel there will be a transition? He was at Denver for only 1 year, and I've heard they did quite well.

 

As for depth? Too early to tell. The only real worry is at the starting CB position. Other than that, there are players all over that D that are capable.

 

We have 2 very good Safeties. Good LBs, and talent on the line. No need to worry about all that other stuff the first week in July.

I believe the entire key to our defense will be how the backend performs.  If Horn and Jackson stay healthy, I think this defense could be very special.  We have many good players up front. 

The keys are Jackson and Horn and that is my worry.  Neither seem to be able to stay healthy.  Our only other hope is that others on the roster step up in a big way.

However, if they do stay healthy Evero will be able to do many exciting things with our defense.  He's a proved DC that can lead a top 10 defense.  No reason we shouldn't be inside the top 10. 

Let's go.

Assuming Jackson's achilles doesn't slow him down.  The D looked downright putrid at times last year.  I'm not sure we invested enough in it in this off season.

One thing I can confidently say is if our CBs on the outside won't be able to handle the deep ball 1 on 1  Evero will put a FREAKN SAFETY OVER TOP!!!!

So that in itself will be a major upgrade over Snowmans weak ass play calling.

I'm personally pumped to see what he can get out of this defense

Reports were that multiple players had career years for Denver in Evero's first year in his new system. Apparently he makes the transition easy and knows how to maximize each players talent.  If he does the same thing here this will be a top 5 defense. Apparently he is good at developing depth guys into decent starters as well.

Fingers crossed.

If that happens I really hope we have another guy lined up for a DC job. If he has another year like Denver had on defense, he will be gone in one or two cycles.

Hoping for 2 for our OC and DC so we can get those extra draft picks. 

Of course if they are both doing well and want to stick around then that is cool too.

As long as it doesn't resemble anything he did for the Broncos in losing all those leads and 4Q game leading drives from Wilson. His defense gave up 5 4Q leads and failed to stop teams in all 3 OT games. He struggled against the Bucs, Raiders, and Panthers - Mayfield, Carr, and Darnold.

Inexperienced DC. Inexperienced QB. Average play caller in Frank Reich.

Denver had been running a base 3-4 for years under Fangio, who is no defensive slouch himself and whose defenses finished 10, 25, and 3 in pts allowed since 2019. This is an entirely different situation schematically, let alone the personnel aspect, with Evero having retained a lot of the prior defense when he took over.

"We’ll be 3-4 in our base defense,” Evero confirmed during his introductory press conference on Tuesday. “We’ll play a variety of sub packages. There will be a lot of carryover from what these guys did last year …. I think the players will be familiar with a lot of what we’re going to present to them. We’re going to always start players first and then move into the scheme.”

There will absolutely be growing pains this year.

Because Denver was already running a 3-4 when Evero arrived.  We were a 4-3.

No doubt. He will be a candidate for HC and we better have someone in the wings learning the system.

Our only hope to delay it is 1) There are no good looking HC openings next year and 2) Tepper throws money like Detroit did with Ben Johnson.

Evero is already making a lot. Money won't be why he jumps, it will be to be a HC. Then again being DC on this staff might be better than HC of some teams.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
