Evero will return as DC

This ranking doesn't tell the whole story though. Opposing teams had short fields to work with and could do whatever they wanted on offense because the Panthers simply couldn't stop them. Look at how many TDs the defense gave up. Only three or four teams gave up more that season. That's why EE should have been let go instead of retained, well, also because he wanted to leave.

Like when Phil Snow supposedly had the second best defense in the NFL...

Honestly and I'm not at all trying to denigrate Evero here but can we really say he is even much of an upgrade over Snow? Yes the talent disparity is certainly a big difference but still it just seems like this would have been a good time to just reset there. Instead we're doubling down.

Their scheme is remarkably similar.   3-4 but mostly play out of the 3-3-5.   Terrible against the run.  Soft zone.

their offense is other worldly.  Im sure that has helped that defense.  they sure dont trust their D with them going for it all the time late, lets put it that way. 

Going for it has been the Lions MO for a while. Even this year when their defense was healthy.

LOL he's a really good DC. I've no idea why people want him fired.

What proof of this is there? 

As DC, he oversaw mid-level defenses on teams with abysmal records (5-11, 2-15) and one of the worst defenses in history this year. Even those so-called "mid-level" defenses came on teams with historically bad offenses, where opposing teams didn’t have to do much win.

Does anyone really believe our defense was good last year? We had an offense that set records for how bad it was, and all teams needed to do was run the ball, control the clock, and cruise to victory.

Sure, we had some tough injuries this season, but let’s be honest—our defense couldn’t stop anyone.

What I gathered from the press conference is that they will get together soon then evaluate all phases of the team and make adjustments to the systems they have. I would assume that includes the defense as well. I will interested in seeing how that shakes out.

A lot of the NFL coaching carousel is finding out whether guys who are really good at one skill set can also be good at another. 

You wind up learning that some guys are just always gonna be better off as coordinators or position coaches.

I agree--as the coach, you deal with so much crap, and I am referring to the high school level.  College position coaches focus on depth--they really know every detail about technique, timing, angles, etc.  at their positions.  They KNOW football.  The coordinators and coaches, once position coaches, focus on everything else---game plan, overall timing, chemistry, media, etc.   If you think you got away with a mistake on film because during the team sessions the coordinators did not mention it, you NEVER got away with it when you went to your position room to watch the film--those coaches see everything and they deal with the players.  I can see where most of my position coaches did not want to mess with the politics and planning of football; they are all about execution.  Different animals.  I imagine in the pros, it is more extreme.  I think that is the reason few college HCs succeed in the NFL.

I strongly suspect behind the scenes he is being told to get his name out there.  There is just no scenario where we fire him today after we made him stay, suffered the injuries and had to sit our #1 pick for weeks.  That would be a whole lot of pie in the face.

Personal opinion but I feel like Evero’s defense is very player specific. Additionally, it’s definitely a bend but don’t break style of defense that relies on the offense beating themselves.

In 2022 the Broncos had a top 10 mark in expected points allowed per play. EPA loves long passes and the Broncos secondary was elite and kept everything in front of them which allows credence to the belief that Evero’s defense is truly a bend but don’t break defense that relies on elite secondary play.

Additionally, in 2022 the Broncos had a 91.2 coverage grade which was the best in the NFL and they also were top 10 in completion percentage allowed and touchdowns allowed.

The secondary needs more than Jaycee Horn to be successful. If Evero is truly back then Will Campbell (if available) or Malachi Starks needs to be the pick and we need to make a hard run at Justin Reid.

Evero’s scheme can get by with the front seven we have (if healthy) but it simply won’t work with the secondary we have.

I agree it seems kinda odd given everything being as it is. I was under the impression his contract was up but I suppose it's not. If they are truly only saying he is staying in hopes someone hires him to get a draft pick for him that is a bad look. If they let him go after all other positions are filled that's even worse, for us and him as we then would be out of candidates. I think they may actually keep him.

    • Vegas is now under the cap after Alex Pietrangelo retired. 
    • I could be waaaaaaay off about Kon. I do fault myself into, to borrow a NFL phrase heavily "RAS" nerd on players, too much. There are PLENTY of athletic freak shows that are playing overseas(or Amazon delivery) cause they never figured out NBA ball. I can easily miss seeing the talent. Plus did he only have 2 dunks on the season??(is that for real??) I didn't watch over a few hours of duke, but not one point did I think "That Kon guy is a top 4 pick in the upcoming draft". IMO I still foresee Ball bringing the ball up, doing his weak isolation game and never even looking for Kon. That's his best trait according to everyone, shooting right? I do not see ball, bridges, miller or even williams making the extra pass to Kon for him to shoot a 3.  Then defense-wise, Im not ready to type the amount of questions I foresee in his ability for guarding NBA SGs or bench SFs for that matter. Not that NBA players care to defend, but still..... I just feel he's a bad fit for the current hornets, trades are taking place tho... Liam to me is a decent comp for Kon and he fell some, but was a 29 overall pick. Still around 13-21 was the good solid range for Liam and I thought the same for Kon. This is just a classic case of I need to see it. It add to this, Kon is like garlic. Ball is like sugar and Miller is like flour. Mix it together and chef Lee is not going to get me to eat that dish..... Honestly I don't know why Im this vocal about Kon. In past years I would be patience and not post and see what the kid has. The other side, insert classic white boy terms here- _____, ______, _______< etc >. Hornets do desperately need them. His crafty back door cuts, his willingness to stay a extra 2 hours to refine lees plays, keep playing with bruised limbs. I heard from many reports he's mentally tough and hornets by all gods need that. God they are such pussys.  I hope Im wrong and if so, I will give Kon his just props.
