I’ve stopped doing it when I had my last account because I would point things out on film and people would argue with video evidence.

Evero runs a lot of heavy zone- mostly Cover 3. His system isn’t designed to rush the passer but rather contain the passer and get coverage sacks. When he blitzes it is very calculated. He hides this though multiple fronts. For example, he runs a 3-4 but will disguise the box with LBs and safeties to hide pressure. He will sometimes show a 4-4 or 5-2. For Cover 3, he tends to leave each CB in a 1/3 and disguise who he is leaving in the center 1/3. He sometimes does this by bringing the safeties underneath and sending the Nickel to the back of 1/3. He did this yesterday when he sent Ransom and got a sack. He will roll the CBs and Safeties too sometimes with the outside corner rolling inside and Nickel stepping to the outside corner from the slot at the snap but it’s less common from him. 
 

It’s Capers system but modernized.

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.

I will say that the 2nd half performances from the defense have for the most part been excellent. The defense is night and day better than 2024. Evero has put together some great defensive games so far this season, and a few duds. The Buffalo game was WOOF very bad.

Thank you for answering the OP's question.  Love the breakdown.

That seems to be the best thing I can find that is actually in depth. Lots of surface level stuff but nothing about what really makes his version of that Fangio-esque defense unique to him personally. 

Yep basically play cover 3 90% of the time almost never blitz....  motion dbs pre snap a lot but rarely bring them.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
