Evero is growing on me as DC

[frankw]

There can be multiple truths simultaneously.

Evero and the defense have undoubtedly been a reinvigorated force and it has been a collaborative improvement no doubt.

However there have been instances where he had fueled criticism of his scheme and his playcalls. But that has happened with all of our former defensive coordinators even ones who are highly regarded in franchise history.

And there is also the elephant in the room which is the salary cap allocation to his side of the ball which is bottom 5 in the league for the year. There's only so much you can realistically expect from any coordinator with that circumstance. And right now they are certainly overachieving which is a great sign for the culture we're trying to build here.

All that being said though. Evero. Much like Canales and our starting QB. Still has to get out there and establish some sustained success more than one or two games at a time. Finishing the season strong is what we need to see.

I have always liked Evero.

you give this guy some actual talent on defense & this would be one of the best defenses in the NFL

And, does he want to return here after we didn't allow him to interview with the Rams?

This will actually be one of the most interesting offseason storylines for us.

He gone. 
 

I’ve grown into an Evero fan, and hope he stays.

Honestly, the biggest issue I have with him is that he hasn't seemed to have been a guy that elevates a defense, even going back to Denver. 

So, if I always have to assemble an elite defense to make him have elite results....is he actually a great defensive coach?

I think we would really have to break the bank on him.

Where is this elite defense? 
It goes like it went early every year because preseason and time in pads is so inadequate for training guys in these situations, when there is a lot of turnover and you have some young guys.  

They have played pretty well since Buffalo overall, and they are definitely not elite. DB is elite. Horn can be. Is at times. There isn’t that much past those guys. 
 

I am not trying to wave the flag for him, but he has gotten scraps to work with. Whoever was DC I’d feel the same about as far as what he has had to work with. 
That DJ Johnson deal was a bad look for him.

Get this defense a pass rusher that can win and teams need to scheme around then lookout

I say that this is the best defensive brainpower combo we’ve ever had

Definitely my favorite.  I also liked what Capers was here.  He did a lot with a new group of players.

Ummm...WTF is happening in this thread.  how bout no.  I was someone who supported Eviro last year and wanted him back this year, but his weak bullshit soft zone is the most fuging frustrating thing ever especially since he REFUSES to let Horn travel with the best threats on the field.  I do agree that we "Could do worse" but we also could do better, undeniably so mind you.  We line our corners up somewhere in the Atlantic ocean on 3rd and medium (one of which being the HIGHEST PAID CORNER IN THE fuging NFL).  That is either an admission we fuged up signing him, or our coach is eating crayons.  It took DB saying "LET ME RUSH" or Jaycee saying "let me move" for him to allow any of the biggest benefits to happen.   I'd go as far as saying that the defense has stepped up IN SPITE of him.

That thing about DB is overblown. They were being careful with him early due to coming off the injury. They said so.  And it made sense. He told them he was good to go, so let’s go. It is more that than them just being too ignorant to use him. 
 

My only point of contention. I see the soft coverage.

Still not a huge fan, but someone else who looked it up said he's not under contract after this year. 

Between that and the other stuff, it's not hard to imagine him coaching elsewhere next season.

And the draft pick allocation.  '25: 1st O 2nd D; '24: 1st O 2nd O; '23: 1st O 2nd O '22: 1st O 2nd O. Let the man get a first rounder for a change.  My preference is Arvell Reese but no way he drops to us. Looks like a man among boys on the field.  I've seen him rush and cover the slot too.

Not sure it matters either way (see above).

I think he leaves next season. It's just a question of how.
