Why was Beason moved to the Outside?

Just trying to make sense here, not poking or prodding... Why exactly was he moved to the outside? Was it in hopes to improve the pass rush for Peppers leaving?... I know he was a beast at MLB and feared him being on the field vs Tampa. Now there isn't too much of a fear of his presence.

Are the Panthers sold on Connor at MLB or what's the deal exactly?

Think Derrick Brooks.

Connor doesn't have the speed Beason does...and the injury to Davis forced a move. They had enough issues as strong side LB with the Anderson/etc rotation, that they needed stability in the middle position throughout the year and mobility at the WLB spot. Beason fits that perfectly. If Davis had been there...Beason would be MLB.

Speaking of...Davis was working really hard to get back at the end of the PUP period. Anyone know if he was put on IR or still on PUP?

Yea, I think Beason is a top LB for sure and people laugh when I say he's even a top 3.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to mention Derrick Brooks here with the type of player he was but Beason has potential to do some things for sure.

Why not trade for a LB?

Our linebackers have been solid...about the only part of the team thats been solid. No worries here unless someones sad that Beason won't put up career tackle numbers.

The reason I mentioned DB was in this system you want an athletic playmaker at the Will, so compare Beason to DB. LB has been our most consistent defensive unit this year, and we did trade Harris for Williams.

Its not a complicated puzzle to figure out, although Beas is best suited in the middle.

      Evero HC requests!

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Are you now equating best/worst rush defense with best/worst defense? Those are separate things entirely. For rush defense, depending on how you quantify it, he has been largely in the bottom third of the league his entire career as a defensive coordinator.  As you can see, aside from his one year in Denver, he has never been above 20th in yardage. Now, there is context to consider which is most coordinators choose to run on him(24th-32nd ranked in his three year in Carolina). So, if you just simply look at Y/A, it has been a relatively mixed bag. Twice a top 15 defense but twice a bottom 15 defense.  The thing the should make all this good/bad run defense a lot clearer is the right most columns. Evero's defense has always prioritized pass defense and confusing QB's. That's the core of his defensive philosophy, as has been reported relatively widely. As much as there are ample personnel issues on that side of the ball(many of which he contributes to with his below average talent evaluations) his defenses may never be truly elite in rush and pass defense unless they are stocked with defensive talent. Like....his Denver defense that he inherited was. To that point, if you look at all those rankings from the three years Fangio(of whom Evero is a noted disciple) it shows a progression of getting steadily better into the far more elite defense it is now under Vance Joseph. As far as his HC interest, recall that he was a hot commodity after Denver and that cooled significantly after his first two years here. I suppose if you count getting interviews for HC positions as a benchmark for being a good coach(most would not) then he is middle of the packish.
