Our rookie seems to be calling out our defensive scheme


Recommended Posts

It’s a good point. A lot of people are upset with our pass rush production, but the schemes allows for the QBs to get the ball out fast bc our DBs are consistently 7-8 yards off the ball.

Evero  is absolutely terrified to run man pressure. And the crazy part is if he did, his zone could eat QBs alive. He just uses it far to often with no disguise and the QBs know where the weak spot is

I said yesterday that I suspect that our pass rush would look a helluva lot better if we went back to a 4-3. The reason why I don't think Evero is some amazing defensive coordinator is because he doesn't put his players in the best position to succeed. He is slow to adapt, if he adapts at all (the same issue that I think Canales has on the offensive side of the ball). We just have to legitimately invest in the defense with some draft capital (like we did last year) and let this play out. Tepper will get tired of it eventually. I hate that we didn't just try to snatch Saleh when we had the chance. Some things are just too obvious.

Yeah, Stafford was way to comfortable for most of that game. He looked the worst when, surprise surprise, we started dialing up the defensive pressure.

Some bonedick sht repped me for saying it looks like the defense is getting soft again...Not sure what he was watching. That D philosophy has to get better.

For this to be the year of development, Princely really didn't get many snaps. And yes, I would hate to be a ten sack college player and ride the pine while QBs sat in the pocket all day to carve up my team. That's just competitiveness. I get the frustration.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
