While I agree I would like to see Horn in more man coverage, good luck doing that when you have no pass rush and a LB/S corp that couldn't cover a senior citizen in coverage...

Don't get me wrong, I hate how much we run DropZone coverage and give up underneath routes for cheap first downs.

That being said, we are a bottom five talent defense in the NFL and somehow have been average on the year (and his defense is the reason why we have over half our wins). We can all hate his strategy of bend but don't break, but that's the strategy most DC's use now. Make a team have a 15-play drive touchdown on you - odds are, there will be some kind of penalty or negative play that will make a third down conversion difficult.

I really would like to see Evero run our D with either a legit pass rush or Beason/Luke/TD caliber LBs. That luxury would give him more chances to run exotic blitzes or man coverage blitzes

I think Evero has been the epitome of a Panthers coach. Do well enough to give you hope, then completely fall apart when it matters. By and large the only, and I mean only reason the Panthers improved this season was an influx of new talent on defense.
