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.

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.
