He is more of a 4-3 DE but anything helps. He and Marquis Haynes are immediate upgrades over DJ Johnson and Incoom. Must not be looking good for Clowney, Barno, and Wonnum.

Well we’re going to lose this week. I don’t think it will be a Chicago/New Orleans type loss. I think Atlanta will score whatever they need to and then go on their way to keep everyone healthy for next week.

I actually felt better about Morgan than Canales. I didn’t like the fact that Morgan was essentially a part of Fitterers group, but I was willing to give him a chance because of his past here. Would still be willing to give him another season or two to clean this mess up. The DC hire to me was strange, very skeptical at first because he came out of nowhere and reminded me of the Nathaniel Hackett hire. I do feel somewhat better about DC now.

Worse. I had us being somewhere between 2-15 and 6-11. I guess we could finish somewhere towards the bottom of that range but I don’t see another winnable game on the schedule unless our defense gets massively better in a short amount of time.

FYI, Eagles just released Devin White who was in Tampa at the same time as Canales last year. Not what used to be but an upgrade over Clausen Cheerelus beside Trevin Wallace

Well the personnel is definitely a factor, but he was given a lot of "his guys" that he has coached before that are familiar with the scheme. Nick Scott Troy Hill Jordan Fuller Deshawn Williams A'Shawn Robinson Dane Jackson DJ Johnson (it's on video of him celebrating when they drafted him, because HE wanted him)

He's doing better when we run the ball more. He looked much better under Wilkes his rookie year because we were running the ball and he was getting leverage on the play action. He looked terrible last year because we were dropping back out of the gun 35 times per game and he's not built for that. He's a solid guard in a pass heavy/spread scheme, and a solid tackle in a running/play action team.

Okay let's say he was. It doesn't make the situation any better.

I'm just saying, he was supposed to be this guy that could make up for talent with his scheming and it's not happening. Sam Darnold carved him up when he was Denver's DC in 2022 and then Payton didn't bring him back. Look at Denver's defense this year and look at ours. And FYI Derrick Brown was active for the Saints game that allowed 47 points. Luvu, maybe? but Burns/Chinn aren't hitting on much this year.

I could be wrong, but if I remember during his press conferences they asked before Evero was hired and he said something like "We don't know type of Defensive yet, I'm leaning towards a 3-4 but we'll see." It could have been the front office too, because there was a lot of hype about trying to put Burns in a 3-4 so he could "dominate" which really just exposed him more than anything.

I wouldn't be shocked with Evero getting the boot at the end of the year. Some of it was his fault, some wasn't. However, in the big picture the little bit of defensive success last year was with what Snow built. The defense last year if I recall was ranked "2nd" but only in yards and was pretty horrendous everywhere else. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Panthers in a 4-3 scheme next year. Morgan played in a 4-3 and both front offices he was in (Buffalo/Seattle) were 4-3. Just about everywhere Canales has been also had a 4-3 defense. Rhule ran a 3-3-5 with snow that gave a bunch of different looks, Reich was the one that wanted the 3-4 and it lined up with Evero being available. Our defense is made up of short contracts and is mixed with 3-4 and 4-3 personnel, end of season would be ideal to switch. Plus, I'd love to see Trevin Wallace play WLB like Davis used to.

I had our ceiling at 6-10 and floor at 2-14. After the Raiders game, I thought we were trending closer to the ceiling but appears we may miss 2-14 because the only other winnable game on the roster is the Giants and they just won in Seattle this week.

Top 3 pick incoming. Brace yourselves for another top talent miss.

We have been at the top since we hired Rhule's Strength and Conditioning coach in 2020 who is still there.

Okay 2 concussions 2 hurt before joining the team. What about the other 14?

I would thoroughly enjoy drafting Mason Graham and putting him with A'Shawn Robinson and Derrick Brown as a start to stop this horrible run D.

The UDFA Rookie Back-Up center is in concussion protocol, I believe. Would mean Christensen takes the snaps, but he may have to fill in for Moton who is also injured. Possibly put Nijman at RT and continue with Christensen at C.

Here is just to get an idea of where we stand; if anyone knows more please update. Shaq Thompson: ILB - Season Derrick Brown: DL-Season Sam Franklin: S- Season Adam Thielen: WR- X amount of weeks Josey Jewell: ILB- X amount of weeks Ian Thomas: TE- Possibly returning this week Dane Jackson: CB- Possibly returning this week Andrew Raym: C- Out last week due to concussion Jaden Crumedy: DL- X amount of weeks (possibly soon?) Jordan Fuller: S -X amount of weeks Jonathan Brooks: RB - Will return possibly this season? Amare Barno: Edge- Will return possibly this season? DJ Wommun: Edge- Will return possibly this season? Austin Corbett: C- Getting imaging done today Taylor Moton: T- Getting imaging done today Xavier Legette: WR- Getting imaging done today Tommy Tremble: TE- Left game early due to suspected concussion Jadaveon Clowney: Edge: Left game early due to injury Why is this Strength/Conditioning Coach and Training Staff still employed?

In years past, our pro scouts always missed on Free Agents. I think the pro scouts are more effective now, we have had some FA hits the last few years but our rookie scouts seem to miss quite often. How much of that is the executive decision by the front office? Idk. I'm not a Tepper apologist but even IF he is the guy pulling the trigger in the draft, you have to wonder who is giving him the scouting reports. To be fair, our scouting dept was going downhill before Tepper too.

He's the only one that has speed as a factor. The rest are bull rush type guys.

This isn't a giant upgrade but he is more solid than Charles Harris and DJ Johnson. He'll be starting opposite Clowney in a few weeks.

Panthers 26 Bears 21 But we get our ass kicked next week.

I've lived both worlds, they each definitely have their pro's and con's.

Thats awful.
