I know we have a few film study people in this group.. 

Last year was infuriating (with no players) this year you can start to 'see it' coming together.. and like Mr Scott said, Evero is likely here to stay.

Can someone do a deep dive in the philosophy of this defense and how its supposed to work?

.. the deeper the dive the better 🙂

You mean just Evero in general?

After allowing 21 points in the first half, the defense held the Ram to only 7 in the second. Looks like Evero made some halftime adjustments. 

Unfortunately, the D was not prepared at the start of the game. Without the two picks the score could have easily been 35 - 10 at halftime putting the game out of reach.

Part of the success in the 2nd half was that the offense kept the ball for 13:10 of the 3rd quarter. Credit to the defense for forcing a 3 and out on the Rams’ only possession of that quarter, but when the other team only has the ball for 1:50 of a quarter, of course the points scored for the half is going to be limited. 
 

But yes, further credit to the defense for in the 4th quarter, standing up and forcing their 2nd turnover in the red zone to prevent the Rams from taking the lead after having gotten gashed both through the air and on the ground on the prior possession.

To be honest, I do not think any teams defense has been ready for the Rams in the 1st half of games. Until Sunday, I think they had outscored the opponents 63-3 over the past 6 games or something.

Horn and Brown are having All Pro years and this has been the difference for sure.  Plus, this team has young talent versus last year they were basically pulling people off the streets to play on defense.

More so on what his overall philosophy is. Like how he likes to use the line and LB's. How he runs his zone coverage. Why he keeps Horn only on the sort side of the field..

That kind of thing. We have some X and O guys here.. was looking for an informed football discussion.

Canales has addressed Horn on a podcast I think.  Basically boils down to actually have Horn shadow someone means they would need to play a lot of man coverage.....and while Horn can do it, they don't have the talent to ask the rest of the secondary to also be in man that much.

That's what I mean, so basically more on Evero himself.

Let me see. There was a good breakdown of this on a podcast from a Denver podcaster in a collab effort when Evero was hired on. I don't remember the podcast, though. Nor if it is even around anymore. Might have been @ellis's podcast, maybe??

It's basically bend but don't break which has really become the go to defensive model in the NFL. That's why you see so many short passes. Defenses are allowing small ball while trying to take away the chunk plays figuring the more tines the other offense has to roll the dice (run a play) the more opportunity they have to screw up or for your defense to make a splash play knowing that the field gets easier to defend as it gets shorter.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's mostly me. I came into the season basically believing he was not ever going to be the guy but with a little bit of wait and see. It didn't take long of me seeing before I saw he was the same guy he has largely always been. Maybe in some future scenario 3-5 years from now he is confident enough to be a decent NFL QB. I don't really want to be the team waiting for that to happen. Let his 3rd, 4th, 5th or whatever team be the ones that figure it out.

      Naw let him get to Tampa and crack his old fragile body with Radsom or Trey M I’d love to see him get rocked by this raw defense. He’s a fool thinking he would leave us for greener pastures I’m glad it played out this way should’ve stayed loyal to the ones who really wanted you.

      And a legitimate question to ask is what does this offense look like once Bryce is off his rookie contract? How is that offensive line going to look? We have a ton of money invested up front and that is 100% unsustainable with Bryce making starting QB money. Icky and Moton are going to be 50m per season plus the guards at 32 and possibly Mays at 6-8 if we're lucky. Add in Bryce and that's 125m just on those 6 players if we tried to keep them all. It's just not doable.  So then the real question IMO becomes, if we spent the money on our OL, and less on a QB, would the outcome be that much different? I haven't seen Bryce elevate the offense enough by himself on a consistent basis to warrant the contract we would have to give him, not to mention the players we would have to give up, based on the accelerations of the bonuses as I understand them, would likely include Icky.
