Canales still believes in Evero

It's possible he "believes" more in Robert Saleh.

At the least, it's a name that must be in his head as a contingency. We're all talking about the possibility of Evero getting fired but he didn't exactly want to stay with us in the first place. That may still be the case now, especially since we kinda ruined his reputation by doing so.

The scheme is inconsistent and ineffective. It doesn't matter who is out there. We sucked when we started the year and haven't improved much in points surrendered which is the only defensive Stat that matters. We give up more points in the last 2 minutes of either half than anyone else. That has to be scheme. I want an aggressive attacking defense whether it be 3-4 or 4-3 or some hybrid. Evero's weak zone bend until you break drives me crazy. I for one won't miss him if he goes.

Josey Jewell is Evero's chosen leader. He's never led a defense to a winning season.

I keep hearing Derrick Brown and Jaycee Horn are good while they've failed to lead a defense to a winning season or a division championship. Fuller and Robinson won a SB. Shaq went to a SB. Clowney went to a conference championship last season. Jackson has helped a defense to the playoffs and this is is his first season starting on a losing team. Woods has won in the playoffs and had multiple winning seasons. Tuttle has been to the playoffs and started on a winning defense. DJ Wonnum has been to the playoffs.

So, the unproven ones on defense are Evero, Jewell, Brown and Horn. All the others have been at least playoff caliber under other DCs. Why is keeping the consistent losers the answer to improving the defense?

This excuse that Evero has defensive starters who drag down a DC is ridiculous. They are proven playoff level talent that can win in the league.

Evero and Jewell need to go. They will never have success in the NFL. Brown and Horn are talent a good DC can use, but they will never be defensive leaders.

Well I agree Evaro needs to go you do know single players on defense don't lead teams to championships.

I mean, yeah, but they knew they were making sacrifices in regards to the defense. With the injury to Brown and to a lesser extent Shaq, we were cooked. Sure, the FO is accountable for trying to ensure (and insure) that the (im)perfect storm doesn't happen, but making lemonade out of lemons is really not realistic in the NFL. Matt Rhule and Scott Fitterer (under pressure from David Tepper) left the roster in shambles from too many angles. Dan Morgan and company concentrated on offense last off-season with a so-so result, but still to the detriment of the defense, including a wing and a prayer at EDGE.

All that being said, I dislike the scheme, especially when you're trying to rebuild (and, yes, we were/are rebuilding regardless of what they say), but, then again, I guess that ripping the band-aid off is a rational approach during a transition. Still, I prefer a 4-3 base (admittedly, maybe because it's what I'm used to). I am highly skeptical of Evero's scheme because to me it makes it easier for the RB to gain a head of scheme, and if you don't have the speedy physical backers and safeties you're cooked. I'd much prefer that Evero goes, but if he stays he'll have a fairer shot to make a believer out of all us non-believers.

You can't completely blame one offseason for all our defensive or overall roster ills. That took multiple people multiple years to achieve. If we didn't know any better, one would assume Tepper was a Saints or Bucs or Falcons superfan with how efficiently he has brought people in to tear down this franchise.

Both players are arguably top 5 in the NFL at their respective positions and have stated multiple times how they wanna be here and how they want this team to win. That sounds like a leader to me.

I am not sure what list you are using but I don't believe very many would consider either of those guys top 5 at their position. They certainly have that potential but neither has been able to maintain that level of play for any real length of time.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
