Worst Defensive Pressure Grades Week 1 - Guess Who's #1?

As we continue to trot our known failed experiment in Ejiro Evero as our DC, it comes to focus that this defense is supposed to be retooled and ready to make an impact. With the $$$ invested, you'd think this defense would at least be half decent, right? 

Well, guess who's number 32 in the league in defensive pressure despite the $$$ poured on the dline? 

Oh yes, Evero's defense:

 

How this bum DC hasn't been fired to the moon yesteryear is beyond me.

I really don't know what Evero's supposed to do about the fact that we haven't hit on a pass rusher since Burns was picked six years ago. All of our resources have gone into the offense for the past few years. The FA money was to fix the run defense. The second-rounders are still rookie second-rounders. 

Last year's defense was among the worst ever. It's not getting fixed overnight.

Replacing Evero goes without saying. But we victimized ourselves by forcing him to stay on orders directed by David Tepper.

David Tepper is hands off now. & Dan Morgan makes all the football related descions. 

when I hear that all the time  I am like oh my goodness do u actually expect me to believe that BS

 David Tepper has constantly year in & year out since he bought the team hired the wrong people & will continue hiring the wrong people as long as he is the owner 

luck takes you only so far in the NFL

And honestly, Burns was all hype and little production. Folks loved him because of the Spider-man celebration. He was lousy in run containment and only could generate pressure in one-on-one situations with bottom half of league level OTs.

Ask the Giants how good he is... they'll only tell you the truth if they aren't trying to trade him.

The problem is that the run defense isn't fixed. They ran roughshod over us yesterday. They did anything they wanted to whenever they wanted to.

    • I really think Bryce has been given so much time due to what they've put around him. In a vacuum, he hasn't been good enough. But I think we tend to be overly judgemental with him because he's our QB. Every fan base does it. You see every mistake, not just the highlights/lowlights. I've listened to Cowboys fans crap on Dak and Ravens fans crap on Lamar.  How many WRs from Bryce's rookie season are still making plays today? Probably a few starting olinemen from that year are out of the league too. Hell even his HC is out of the NFL and his OC is a TE coach right now. How many WRs from last season, Bryce's second year (other than the rookies) are making plays in the NFL today? And now in his third year, he's been passing to rookies and second year players. And the only one that was highly touted was TMac. Heck Coker wasn't even drafted, and he's easily been the second best receiver on the team. And let's not even get started on how bad the defense has been. When a team is constantly playing from behind, and/or being ran off the field (time of possession), it greatly impacts the offense's chemistry and playcalling. Look at the young QBs that are playing well right now. All of those teams have great defenses. Houston, Denver, Patriots, Cleveland, even the Saints defense has been on a bit of a tear recently.  I agree he needs to be more consistent. But to be fair, so does his supporting cast. He had some horrible fumbles early in the season. I beat him up over that just like everyone else. But we wouldn't have said that if it was Stafford. We would have rightly blamed it on the oline for allowing jail breaks when they weren't even outnumbered on blitzes, and to top it off he was throwing to a bunch of young receivers. He killed teams for blitzing him the end of last season. I don't think he forgot what to do. I think his receivers didn't know what to do. They were all young and new, other than XL, and DCs exploited that. The team is developing right now. And amazingly Bryce is playing better. Funny how that works. Let's just enjoy the ride and see where it takes us. Getting there is half the fun, and the team is actually ahead of schedule.
