Brandt Tilis is our new cap guy.  He was with Chiefs for 14 seasons and did Mahomes contract.  I'd like to think he can make some magic.

He Hate Me and Jarrod Cooper

Juice boys was dawgs

We should have watched some of his college games.  Then we would have known.

Also, I love Chinn and I hate we are going to lose a player of his caliber because he doesn't fit the system.  Everyone could see this coming.  Should have traded him last year at the very least.  I agree that I think he will be elite on another team.

It is a mark against Ejiro that he couldn't find a better use of Chinn, especially with all the injuries we had.

I still don't understand why we never moved him to linebacker.  6'3, 221.  He could easily put on 10-15 more lbs.  We could have kept Luvu on the outside which would have also helped Burns a lot more having a good pass rushing opposite.

I think it's pretty easy to see Ejiro is a very qualified and good DC.  Always room to debate how good.

I see a ton of potential for improvement in the 2nd year of his system with better health of players and better personal that fit his system.  Player health was a big problem in his year with Denver as well as his year here.

The guy had multiple interviews to be the head coach of multiple teams as well as multiple teams trying to sign him for their DC position.

While that doesn't prove he's a good DC or coach it does certainly show how other teams and personal in the league view him in a very positive way.

Evero’s options are running out 

I thought he couldn't interview for other DC jobs?  So then he can't miss out because it was never an option.

I think he sees what he could do with Baker and is drooling over what he can do with Bryce.  The biggest thing I'm getting from him is the culture he brings, the tailoring and creating an offense to fit the teams skill set and his voice/mannerism.

He's has a slightly slowed down cadence when he talks and speaks very, very clearly.  Seems like he has that teacher, mentor, following the process and the results will come type of dude.

I also think this is the first time we have legit had a younger coach.  I love the potential and energy.

I don't think Evero is stomping his feet or will be a problem even if it's true that he would rather be able to pick his next job this year instead of next.  We don't even know if he would rather be DC of another team.  This is more speculation because we have blocked him from 3 other lateral moves for DC but he has had quite a few HC interviews.  A few of them were twice with the same club.

This also happens a lot in the corporate world outside of the NFL if you are under contract with a company and are considered an asset. 

Evero strikes me as the type of guy that doesn't waste time with things he can't control or negative emotions that don't further him in his goals or doing his job well.

He could very well be extremely happy with staying as the defense has a lot of talent and we'll add a few more pieces.  Year two with talent could be a better position to be in that a new DC of another team where he starts all over and has to install his system. 

We don't know his feelings and I expect he will not tell us.  We may get a "I'm going to always give my best in whatever opportunity is in front of me" and I think he'll coach that way no matter his true feelings.

And then there was one.  With the Baltimore DC, Mike McDonald becomeing the HC of the Seahawks that only leaves the Commanders.  Ejiro Evero is not interview at all with the Commanders.  A lot of rumors saying Quinn and Vrabel is still out there.  Unless something drastic happens we get to keep the part of the Panthers that looked pretty good last year.

I really like Evero a lot.  Very professional.  Seems to raise above all the drama last year on offense.  I also really liked the way we played down the stretch and how tough and physical they were.  Also, note that we had a ton of injuries all over the defense were never at full strength for almost the entire year.

While I would not have had too big a problem if we wanted to fire everyone I think it'll be a great help to first year HC Canales that he pretty much doesn't have to do very much in regards to the defense.  He can focus on retooling the dumpster fire of an offense.

Evero is stability and that is something every other unit can lean on.  I expect in his second year Evero will be even better.

Due to the rules of hiring minority coaches.  If Evero coaches 2 years and leaves for a HC job, we get 2, 3rd round draft pics as compensation.  That is another huge plus.

Already starting to get a little hyped about next year.

Keep pounding.

Capers is the mentor of Evero.  He'll go where he goes. 

I like Pete Carroll alot but I don't like a man's past boss coming in to work for him. 

Hopefully, he's reading the huddle and listening to us.

Will Canales fix his height, frame, weight and mechanics? FYI, his bad mechanics are a direct function of his height....'Mr. bouncy toes."

Mechanics, yes.  Height, frame and weight, despite all the worry, turned out to not be the problem everyone was so worried about.  Lord knows the guy can take a hit and pop right back up.

His dropback is messed up as he does bounce up on his toes but he also has a great ability to quickly snap his footwork into the correct position plus he's got the Russel Wilson baseball / shortstop ability to make off kilter throws.  Pro and cons to both.

The upside is still too good with Horn despite the injuries.  When he's on the field he's fantastic but I understand that's the problem.  I'd rather bet on a man with his level of talent to get healthy a million times over an extra low round draft pick.

Extending him will be the bigger decision.  All depends on what his market value is or what he thinks he should get.

as fan, we are just blindly guessing where the cancer is and isn't.  That's why I like the clean slate.  Because you take it all out.

We don't but I think Morgan does and if there is one thing I like about Dan, it's the culture I think he'll build as the man in charge.  Ex-Panther great, played the game, tough as hell, been around the block with different teams.

But I won't cry over a clean slate either.  There are advantages to that as well but it would all depend on who we get.  I like what we have enough not to trade it for the mystery prize.

Not so sure about that. I've turned off games because the commentators were so bad. If I have to put it on mute just to be able to watch it, I'm not watching. 

That is exactly my thinking but I also think people do tune in for the commentators sometimes. 

If not, then why is the Manning cast so popular.  Why did everyone have so much to say about Mick Mixon?

With the NFL and most popular things, you're going to have a certain diehard fan that it won't make a different to but the casual fans or new fans it can make a difference and even if it's only a few percent, that's a lot of money.

but culture our sure does.  BOA sure does.   I pretty much always lobby for a clean slate when things reach a certain level of awful.    We hit that in 2023.  So I don't mind if end up throwing the baby out with the bathwater in those scenarios.  

I mean, I buy into the Game of Thrones reporting and poo culture.  And I don't buy that was just Tabor and Thomas Brown as some like to suggest.   

I can't definitely see your points and this isn't a hill I'd put a huge fight up against. 

Last year I don't remember hearing much of anything negative about the defense except for a lot of injuries and of course the Burns drama but that type of drama is par for the course.  I think the defensive culture is pretty good.  Those guys were playing tough as hell the last few games right to the very end.

As bad as it got on the other side of the ball I think that says a lot about Evero and the culture he's pushing.  It's highly possible, maybe even probably, he gets the HC job in Seattle so all of this could be a moot point by next week.

There is no such thing as a clean slate.  I'm more of a cut out the cancerous parts and I don't like throwing out babies.

What poo are you talking about? You do understand that Bryce is the primary reason why the rest of our offense had underperformed, don't you?

I do not agree with that assessment at all.  Bryce has his share of problems with foot work, confidence, ball placement, holding the ball too long as well as other areas.

Our primary reasons for sucking last year in order are:

Guards and Icky. Nine different guards started. Icky gave up double digit sacks.

Coaching - Franks system, playcalling and too many chefs.

WR - No one on one play makers that could get open based on individual skill set.

defense would be starting over after one year in this scenario. 

Understood.  Worth it.

Give Canales a big break as a first time HC and actually gives us some stability.  Defense is currently a ship that doesn't need to be righted.  Mostly needs to get healthy. 

With all the other crap we are trying to recover from I think it's a huuuge boost to have Evero running everything defense.  Allows us to eat the elephant is much smaller bites.

And there is always the chance he ends up resigning.

 If the 49ers had done that, they wouldn't have made it to where they are today.

I agree 100%.  We should draft a QB in the 7th round every year just in case.

What are some of the skills in his 'great skill set'? The ability to differentiate a salad fork from a dessert fork? Looking unflappable while he sips soy milk and takes tiny bites out of a vegan burger? Please do tell.

The same skill set that was talked about non stop during the draft process.  It's hard to tell how sweet the chocolate is if it's covered in poo.

I fully admit Bryce could be a bust but he could also be a franchise QB.  I loved the flashes I saw last year.

We literally has Baker the year before last and he was awful.  Then he hooked up with Canales and looked like a starting QB in the NFL.  We hired that same guy so I'm excited about what he can do with Bryce.

He's a top rated DC and future HC.

Allows Canales to focus on offense and a easier transition.

We get 2 third round picks if he becomes a HC next year.

He's highly professional so he will fit in.

Defense doesn't have to start over again.

Wasn't the 49ers owner pretty meddlesome until he decided not too and hired Lynch and Peters?

Whoa, whoa, only knee jerk reactions allowed.  Don't bring history or logic into this barren wasteland.

We are modeling ourselves after San Fran's or Phillys front office structure.

No QB outside the top 10 is going to give you remotely the upside that Bryce will.  Bryce has a great skill set and gives us the best chance to find an elite and franchise QB. 

Why is it so hard to see if the whole coaching staff was dysfunctional and the entire team was horrible at almost every offensive position that we do NOT know if Bryce can be that guy or not.

No one knows.  I don't know. You don't know.  Moton and Chubba are almost literally the only two guys on offense that played average or better.  Judging anything about this entire team based on this year is just plain stupid.
