Evero postgame

Anyone ask him about the decision not to put Horn on Pickens? Still scratching my head on this one.

We’ve been collectively scratching our heads on that one since he got here and decided to keep Horn on one side of the field only.  It’s not new.  It’s been going on for years now.

And it’s still stupid.

My guess is because we run so much zone, it's not worth trying to get horn lined up against the other team's best receiver if they are on the opposite side. 

Honestly, the couple of plays horn did match up with him, he didn't do a great job against Pickens either. It was the rare stinker from both horn and Jackson in my opinion

Joe Person said Horn asked to be put on Pickens before the last Dallas possession. Article on the game at The Athletic, on the team page.

Evero doesn’t assign corners to specific WRs. He gives them sides of the field since it is such heavy zone. I think we ran more man than we have all season today though. I read at the end Horn requested to cover Pickens

I think it’s because Evero has to run zone because he doesn’t have LBs that can cover one on one. Rozebum on anyone one on one would get abused all game

Zone with corners in man is totally a thing though.

Remember last year when he had Fuller on Ceedee Lamb all game? If he wasn’t so bad in all other games too I’d call this guy a Dallas plant.

I mean yea they can call that what, once or twice in a game until the offense adjusts? Evero doesn’t have a lot of flexibility in a defense that struggles to get pressure and with Mike Jackson clearly hurt or something. Even Horn has been up and down this year. The run defense tightening up has been a nice development that could help the defensive performance though

The offense is always adjusting. There’s plenty of options for Evero to get our top corner on the top WR, he just doesn’t use them.
