Someone else mentioned it but I have to wonder if there's thoughts within the building about switching back to a 4-3, especially with Morgan as the GM and our defense being bare bones on talent which gives us an opening to transition with brand new players. This obviously makes Evero expendable and there's people out there like Robert Saleh who can run a 4-3 defense. 

With the way the passing game has opened up, defenses are spending most of their time in nickel variations and trying to be more fluid with being able to show looks as either 4-3 or a 3-4 during a game.

Regardless of what the base defense is, the team needs talent all over it. Edge rushers are priority #1 but the team also needs to find a true #2 CB, a young defensive lineman to pair with DB (and offset his contract), and intelligent safeties (Evero's defense depends on this and all but Richardson iirc are on expiring deals this season).

If we wanted him to get a HC shot, I am not sure what setting him up with the worst defensive roster in the NFL is accomplishing. 

He probably has a thought or two about that too.

OTOH, DJ Johnson was his bonus baby so his hands weren't totally off the yoke when the trouble started.

When it came to personnel matters, Fitterer deferred to damn near everybody.

Yeah. OTOH I do see value in involving the coordinators and the coaches in getting what they need.

I think probably the larger drawback of letting the coaches have that influence (the DJ pick notwithstanding) is the lack of continuity we have experienced. Because the next coach is less likely to have the same criteria as the last guy and here you go with players not fitting or whatever and the constant change doesn't allow our front office and scouts to find their sweet spot with the coaches' value system.

I don't necessarily disagree with doing that. You just have to be wise about it....kinda lile everything else 😄

Floyd Reese once said he didn't always like involving coaches in personnel evaluation because they had a tendency to see a particular play, fall in love with that player and not see the whole picture.

Of course on the flipside, we have the example our GM and scouts loving Bryce Young while Frank Reich preferred CJ Stroud 😕

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
