    I can't really blame predictable play calling on the players. Our pass rush wasn't strong this year so consistently relying on a three or four man rush and playing soft zone on the backend on third and long and late game situations is just asking for trouble. Horn is a player I'd put some heat on. We need that guy to be better. He got burned in coverage numerous times in key situations and his tackling was piss poor. We paid him to be a shutdown corner and that's what we need him to be. Honestly, in the latter part of the season Mike Jackson was our best corner. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Horn was dealing with some sort of injury limitation down the stretch. He just didn't look himself out there.

    The one good thing is that our OL coach did a great job this year of handling a lot of injury issues and still fielding a unit that was able to perform at a decent level.

    My biggest issue with Evero is how consistent he is with playing soft in key situations. We suck on 3rd and long and in key late game scenarios because everyone knows he's going to call off the dogs and sit back in soft zone coverage. You can't be that predictable in this league. If the other team knows what you're going to do in certain situations you're cooked.

    I don't think you move on from Icky, but I do think you have to move forward cautiously and make plans for him not recovering from this. He's under contract next year and will hopefully be able to return for at least some of next season for us to get a look at him on the field in live action. With his serious injury question mark and Moton's age and whispers about his potential degenerative knee conditions, the potential for an early OT pick is definitely there. Honestly, I'd say it's expected. I'll be a little surprised if we don't draft an OT with one of our first three picks I just hope we don't force it.

    If I was a cap guru I'd be working in an NFL front office but what years of following the NFL has taught me is that where there's a will there's a way in regards to the cap.

    I don't think he's holding back every interesting player but I also can't say that he's doing anything particularly innovative to unlock potential talent. Moehrig arrived as an accomplished proven pro that we PAID. He wasn't some diamond in the rough. I think most NFL coaches can field good units if given the right pieces to fit their systems. What separates the truly good coaches is that they can tweak their systems to best fit their talent. I just don't see that flexibility from Evero. He very much seems like a "muh system" type of coach and he's going to try to shoehorn his talent into predetermined roles.
  7. LinvilleGorge
    Yeah, pretty much every guy we've targeted and touted Evero's involvement in the decision has ranged from disappointment to outright flop.
  8. LinvilleGorge
    This is valid. Evero doesn't seem very creative in terms of utilizing talent. He does a lot more of square pegs in round holes than he does creating ways to get the most out of his talent.

    Yeah, I'm all for trying to figure out a way for him to contribute on D even situationally. His physical tools are undeniable. I'm generally against carrying core ST guys on the roster unless they're real difference makers on STs and he sure looked like one against the Rams. I mean, we carried Karl Hankton on the roster as a "wide receiver" for nearly a decade and the guy barely ever saw the field on offense in his rostered role. But hey, if you're out there blocking punts and blowing up return men on the regular I can accommodate that on my roster.

    I think a lot of fans are overlooking how completely terrible he was against Miami because Miami dropped all those gift wrapped INTs. He could've very easily gotten picked 4 or 5 times that game leading to an absolute blowout but evidently all the Miami defenders have bricks for hands. The NFL is gonna evaluate that game tape and see interceptions galore. We're not talking about "oh, that could've been picked" balls. We're talking about "how dafuq did that not get picked???" balls.

    I figured this would ultimately be the case. Of the openings thIs is the one that makes the most sense IMO. Dart showed a lot of promise as a rookie and they'll get Nabors back from injury next year. They obviously need work but they have some key pieces in place and a lot of their losses were competitive.

    It's why it's so baffling Moore is going back to school. He's the clear cut QB2 and would probably go in the top 15-20, maybe higher.
  13. LinvilleGorge
    I'll be shocked if he doesnt reenter the portal

    I don’t care what we label him on the roster. Dude was a demon on ST in that playoff game.

    I was just talking to Artimus Pyle at the grocery store, might as well post up one of my favorite songs of all time
