Film on Panthers defensive failure. Same scheme issue over and over

[frankw]

We've clearly established that Evero is NOT the guy. So why is he here? Wasn't he a package deal when Canales was hired? Didn't our owner basically force Evero to stay this year and refused an interview request? But I thought he was no longer meddling?

I thought he was basically foisted on Reich. Not sure who was responsible for hiring him. Fitterer? Tepper with his Rooney Rule lite draft pick aspirations? 
And under contract and subsequently foisted on Canales. 

Who would we get? Really don’t need to retool to 4-3, I don’t think. So a 3-4.

Top NFL defenses in "Havoc" which is the % of plays a defense gets a pressure, TFL, forced fumble, INT, or pass breakup: We rank at the bottom of the league in this department.

No one is disagreeing with the data in your text. We know we need pass rushers to get more pressure on the QBs, better play in the secondary to improve our pass defense, and some impact guys at LB. But, Evero isn't playing with a stacked deck. Our defensive roster is mediocre at best.

Despite our talent deficiency, Evero has statistically managed to field a middle of the road defense in Carolina. Our main issue is on the offensive side of the ball. We are only averaging 18.9 points per game. That ranks 28th of out of 32 teams. Only the Browns, Saints, Titans, and Raiders score less points per game than the Panthers.

FYI: We've been outscored by the woeful Saints 37-24 in our 2 games this season. Our point total averages out to 12 pts a game and theirs is less than 20 (actually 18.5 pts per game). How is that Evero's fault?

I heard this discussed in a podcast earlier and i agree

the disruption factor doesnt exist in evero’s world 

totally predictable 

i donr know what it was when he was a coordinator in Denver but i remembered hearing that ‘he was handed a loaded defense’ And state declined, now that comment didn't  go into other factors like injuries etc

I don’t know at this point. I haven’t really checked Wash out. He is here already so I would look at him. 

I might or probably would expect there will be some HC is out of a job and was a successful DC before being a HC. Probably start there. 
I really want Luke lol but that probably couldn’t happen.

Here’s another i didn’t know until watching some of the film reviews 

they had Derek Brown dropping back inpass coverage on the penalty he received by hitting Shough 

in what world do you have your best interior lineman doing that 

 

The rams did the same thing against Seattle and it worked. But 9/10 it wont but the world is definitely evolving.
