I'm perplexed by the whole situation with Evero.

Dude came in here touted as the next big thing, future head coach, etc.

And in 2023, I think Evero was decent all things considered. He still had a lot of old "4-3 parts". I think he also got a lot of credit in 2023 from Tepper for at least holding his side of the ball together while the offense was a cluster fug mostly from beginning to end.

I'm surprised all that goodwill didnt get thrown out the window last year, though. It's true we didn't invest that much in the defense coming into the season and we had some devastating injuries, but he could never adjust the defense to even give us a chance.

A lot of other teams also had a lot of defensive injuries. We were the only one to be historically bad. It's just shocking Tepper didnt force Morgan to fire him after that bad of a performance, regardless of context. 

It's not like he hasn't been willing to burn bridges with franchise greats. 

Look at Cam Newton, the franchise's greatest QB. Still hasn't completely mended that fence.

Look at Frank Reich, the franchise's first QB. He went from having one of the greatest fan fares at his introduction to being unceremoniously fired after only 11 games.

Tepper has been heartless. 

It's why this with Evero remains a mystery.

Evero supposed to be the next big thing. Rhule was supposed to be the next big thing. Bryce was supposed to be the next big thing. I think the thing is that David Tepper just keeps falling for hype trains. This guy is going to try to trade EVERYTHING for Arch Manning. LOL

I think the Mannings would basically maneuver away from us in some way, shape or form.

If this defense is not playing well early, Evero is gone.  He has had an "excuse" that could be valid--last season, losing brown to injury after losing Burns and Luvu etc.  That is not to say that gives you a golden ticket to suck, however.  A good coordinator would have made adjustments, etc--and i don't recall him doing that very much.  Maybe my memory fails me. If the defense struggles out the gate, he, like Bryce last year, could be the first casualty.  Hell, don't we have Capers on the staff?  This ain't hard.

My prediction is that he gets canned and Capers is the interim sometime in the second half of the season.

Could have had Payton Wilson who is actually doing well in Pittsburgh but Concussion Dan had a brain fart and went DJ. Who everyone on this board said was crap.  When the huddle was right and Dan was wrong. Again. 

They picked wallace over Wilson

 

They used the cmac trade capital to move up for a "developmental" 25 year old

My brother in Christ you might want to go check Wikipedia on those two players.

We had absolutely no talent on D last year.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
