Every, also didn't call any plays dur8nf the game.  I expect to see struggles in preseason.  That's why its preseason.  

Yes, the was are getting some work, but survival and evaluating the rest of the roster are still the priorities.  

why should you expect to see struggles in the preseason?  I think that is exactly why some people are having angst about Friday.  Cleveland didnt look like they were struggling a bit.  And a lot of other teams looked pretty fluid as well over the weekend

And a generational middle lb. 

even without Luke....it it was substantially different type of investment going on.  You also ended up w/ Star, KK, Shaq.  And every pick doesn't hit.  So you have the non-hits like Ealy, McClain added in which come w/ the territory. 

Since Morgan has been there it has been O heavy.   And on top of that.....the entire management of it all has run counter to logic used in the biggest investment of all.   We gave up the farm for BY under the logic we could invest elsewhere.  That was THE selling point of going the BY route.  Yet, after they drafted BY....every first round pick has been on a WR.   Back to back. 

The D sucks because Evero is a JAG coach.  With whack talent.  But you could hire a great coach....and we likely are still bottom half.  We have a talent issue.  That's the front offices fault.

OLBs standing up is exactly what a 3-4 is. They line up with hand in the dirt in a 4-3.

You cannot be this obtuse. Regardless if they are standing or having their hand in the dirt, four players lined up across from the OL is a 4-3. We need three DL with their hands in the dirt if we are to stop the run. See the alignment below. It is two DTs and the OLBs for a 4 down front. This is a four man front and it makes zero sense. We ran it all last year. Again it is a junk defense that is destined to fail. They have drafted players for a 3-4, not a 4-3 and the alignment gives way to easy running lanes. Our defense will continue to look terrible until we make a change. I don't care if its scheme or Coordinator, but something must change.

I personally don't think he's all that great. Not a fan of his scheme either. Hoping we can overachieve or just move on if we suck again.

I think he gets a pass for last year, but if he doesnt have a drastic improvement this year he is gone.

But I've lost confidence in Evero. It hasn't worked at all so far

Running a 3-4 and having a DC who runs the least amount of blitzs in the NFL (not to mention they are predictable when he does) is kind of counter intuitive.

Panthers technically blitzed more than most teams in the NFL last year.   They just have mindboggling bad results from it.   Think they had the 2nd worst % at actually generating pressure despite going to that well a lot.

Only because Evaro was forced too, before last year he had some ridiculously low blitz %% 

Saying his blitzes are not creative is an understatement...

 

Plus I think it was agaist greenbay? 3rd and 2 lets drop 9 guys and rush a Safety and a lb.

Never been a fan of 3-4. 4-3 just seems like real football to me

[Johnstonny]

Don't worry folks...Dipper got his eyes and big fat forehead and jawls all over it..

I'm willing to give Evero some leeway given the lack of talent he has to work with. But I do tend to agree that the 4-3 would be preferable to his 3-4 scheme.

I think the biggest plus of the 4-3....is it is more manageable without the ideal players.  I think the 3-4 gets really bad when you lack the key players needed for it. 

I mean, in reality to run a really good 3-4 you need a dominant NT.  And great LBs.  Running a 3-4 w/ JAGs at those spots is just.....pointless.

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. 

3-4 doesn't suck. It all depends on your personnel, and how you use them. 

Personally, I like the 4-3 and the flexibility that affords in going to nickel coverage while still maintaining a true four man front.

That said, Evero shouldn't be employed by the Carolina Panthers right now. Literally no one in NFL history could have LED a defense to the worst defense in NFL history and still manage to have a job. That is absurd.

I think that rather than supplementing the pass rush by blitzing ILBs that Evero is going to send more DB blitzes (especially from the slot). If Ransom wins the starting job, that'll be something that both him and Moehrig can do which would play in to the rotations that the defense leans on.

There's going to be a lot of pressure on the DL to protect the LBs as well as the DBs to muddy things up enough for QBs to have to hesitate. Veeeeery interested to see if they target a safety during cuts (especially with Kyle Dugger rumored to be on the outs from New England)
