Thanks for the work in putting this together! Excellent read.

DB was definitely rusty and wasn't attracting the double blocks that he had in the past.

Seahawks fans were saying afterwards that the Panthers found out the hard way that BB3 doesn't play well against the run, but he posted a better run defense grade than pass defense. I'm hoping that with a familiar foe coming up in Arizona that BB3 can settle in more (especially with Turk out for the next few weeks).

DB was getting washed early. Even in 1v1 situations. I think he figured it out later, but they definitely gave him more breaks in this game than I've ever seen him take. There was a play where an olineman rolled B. Brown up. The next play he absolutely wrecked the play. Need that BB to show up early on Sunday.

I’m far from an expert here, but is the system really fine? The inability to stop the run is a long standing thing with Evero. I have no faith in him or his system. 

Throw all of last year's numbers out as an outlier - he wasn't allowed to field 11 NFL players.

How do his numbers stack up then? Genuine question by the way.

We know the defense is bad, the offense is supposed to help them.  Can't have a bunch of 3 and outs and turnovers and expect our defense to hold

To be fair the Panthers were 8/15 on 3rd downs.  That's pretty decent.  The defense being tired also doesnt change the predictable soft defensive play calling. 

[Bear Hands]

Some of this was good offensive playcalling against our front (the 4 & 1 for example).  But interesting on that one it was our 3-4 personnel but we technically had 5 with hands in the dirt.  I wouldn't call that a 5-2 but it's what 3-4 teams do in these run commit scenarios.  So that playcall restricts us from having 1 more guy to be more fluid in space on the strong side, and we lose lateral containment.       

Good job by our new safety to call it out presnap, but bad execution by Wallace and Jackson IMO.  Trevin with the error.  He saw the motion and shifted but took an initial angle towards the handoff not the anticipated location.  Bad field awareness.  So he was now behind and the Jags had 2 guys to engage Jackson & Moehrig on the outside.  Jackson just kind of sloppily engaged Strange.  

Outside of that, one of the biggest things I'm noticing is a severe, and I mean severe, lack of presnap communication on our defense.  It just seems to be Moehrig.  He had some iffy angles this game but was far and away doing the most to get our guys in the right place presnap.  I think Moehrig is trying to do everything and then some so he's going to be caught out of place because of this. 

Rozeboom and Wallace aren't doing that (and other things) which is a major concern.  Rozeboom took such a excessive first few steps in that last clip, he just gave the Jags a cozy opening to float in a completion.  You could see he was pissed. 

The 2 ILBs in our scheme need to be communicators and quick decision makers.  Trevin has the quickness but not the awareness or decision making.  Rozeboom doesn't have the quickness and is just average/below-average.  

We need help there if we want any sort of decent defense this season.  The line and OLBs have the ability to stop the run, but not when these 2 are making terrible decisions and allowing teams to play in the middle of the field.

If not for Jaycee blowing up the block intended for him and tripping up Dyami, that jet sweep might have ended up being a house call.

The design and flow of Coen's play calling impressed me, especially with the way he was presenting different looks and using plenty of motion + misdirection.

Canales does this alot with our TEs too. Unfortunately Sanders and Tremble were out there catching blocks while the JAG's TEs were blowing folk up.
