Who replaces Evero?

[Jackofalltrades]

Hopefully someone who takes us back to a 43 front. I've never been a fan of the 34.

A 3-4 runs completely fine…. as long as you have 2 or more defensive all pros picking up the slack.

We only have 1 franchise player and he's a better fit as a 4-3 DT than a 3-4 DE from what I can tell.

Salah. Pay him. Go to a 4 3 

frankie luvu chose to leave. He was smart   
I just shared this in its own thread 

look, we can talk about injuries  we can talk about lack of talent but even a stopped watch is right twice a day 

I mean, what exactly do they do in practice everyday

A 3-4 can be very effective if you have the linebackers to run it. We clearly don't. Then again we don't the linebackers for a 4-3.  And our defensive linemen as a whole are jags minus those who are injured and unavailable. But Evero's zone defense needs pressure to work and we don't generate it. So Qbs sit back and have all day to wait for their guys to clear coverage.  

I want a blitz happy pressure defense like Baltimore that dictates to the offense instead of our bend until you break zone shell of a defense under Evero. Honestly I won't be unhappy to see him go.

Need a true nose tackle, and we have never had that in this 3-4

Well.. need a good one

3-4 do well when you have great edge rushers and and awesome NT in the middle. A 4-3 defense is better at hiding your weaknesses, especially in the run game.

Just bring Ev back. Get good players and stop making it so hard to build something consistent. I understand this board’s fetish for a 4-3, we had a bunch of great defenses running one, but nobody ever had a good defense under any scheme with a roster this bad.

Agree. Might as well, I'm not sure anyone else could do much better.

Wilks makes every defense he goes to worse than it was before. I can’t even imagine how bad our defense would be if we rehired him. 
 

My preference would probably be Saleh, but I’d be happy with Lovie Smith or any veteran coach. We have youth at HC, we need experience at the coordinator positions.

Please no Wilks

I don't even care. The defense is so bad it doesn't matter what they run now because they will have to build something from scratch. Nows the time to build out the defense in whatever way they want because there's little to nothing to build on. So fire, don't fire, 3-4, 4-3, just do something.

This is me, I want to attack on both sides of the ball.
