It’s funny, bc it seemed like the entire board believed he was a genius after that first season, but ever since, the tide has dramatically turned.  I too was drinking the kool-aid after that first season, but idk wtf has happened…  it’s not just injuries.  Every year coaches make more with less, injuries included.  There is something wrong schematically and strategically.  And tbh, our defense just doesn’t look well-coached, which isn’t just on Evero but the position coaches.  Poor technique, poor angles, poor gap/assignment discipline, knocking each other out of plays constantly.  Idk what it is exactly, but it’s not encouraging to say the least.

THIS^^^^

I saw this the other night and thought how can this be happening again.  That seemed to be our biggest issue last year.  Bunching up and getting knocked out of the play.  Tackling a RB we hit at the line of scrimmage and finally made the tackle 10 yards later.

The Tepper era has loved the scapegoat model to date.   Always a guy lined up and ready if things go south to take the heat.  

Fanbase was way too happy at the end of the year and allowed Tepper to roll Evero into this year.

I don't know if it's scheme or personnel but there was no pass rush whatsoever until he started blitzing DBs the other night. That's been the status quo with his scheme. I feel we should let him go and return to using a 4-3 defense. 

The whole need to be 3-4ish is David Tepper.

3-4 sucks. Has always sucked. But it doesn’t help he is a terrible defensive coordinator. 
He should have been fired last year but thankfully this is the last year on his contract. 
We will lose games because of his defense. 

The majority of the top defenses over last several seasons are 3-4

That leads to the next question.  How many games do we give him?  2, 3, 5, 8?

If our offense is lighting it up (Top 10 minimum) I think you consider making a change if the defense is not in the top 18 statistically.

 

Realistically you don’t go from worst ever to top 10 unit but as you stated in your initial post “Show us something sheesh” 

Since we have a lot of young players I say the sweet spot is around game 7 or 8. I’m not opposed to letting him finish the year though because our roster is still void of high end talent.  I don’t think we have a playoff roster. 

 

I absolutely would like a change after this season unless we are a top 15ish defense. I just haven’t seen enough.  I disagree with many on the forum though. I would like to continue to run the 3-4.

Evero's seat is uncomfortably warm, for sure, but I appreciate the team not scapegoating him after last season. They sunk everything into the offense and left the defense being held together by spit and duct tape.

Then lose the two leaders in DB + Shaq to start? Ugh...

I'm hoping to see more of a return to scheme now that he's got the talent to execute. Going to need a lot of luck though to get through the season healthy. DBs might not be as bad as originally feared (though a starting-caliber safety would be the cherry on top) and the DL is deep after all of the resources thrown at it... but the LB room is rough.

I don't expect to start seeing strides until midway through the season. The Bills game I think will be a big tone setter for the rest of the season for the defense.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
