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.

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

Yes but with 2 3rd round picks.

 

Or you do it this year and have no picks.

I'd probably favor consistency and building in a direction over 2 picks at the very end of round 3. 

but granted, you actually would have to hire another good DC.  So I guess, then I would have to lean toward a proven old head in that spot.

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.

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 in 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.   Not implying it was Ejiro.  But I suspect those folks will still be around if there isn't a cleaned house from the Frank era.

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.

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. 

wouldn't be hard to imagine defensive people going to Tepper tired of the bullpoo that was being put on them by the offense. 

I think it is likely Tabor was a bad actor in Game of Thrones.  I don't think a single other person fired makes much sense as one of Tepper's minions.  So that means more are still here.

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.

Yeah, this is going to my axe to grind until it doesn’t exist.  Jim Caldwell needs to go.   There is no logical way you can be hired to oversee the 2023 O….and somehow have your standing improve here.   Which he has happened with him.  That math ain’t mathing.  
 

he makes a great point about loyalty about it has to run to the next HC or at worst Morgan.   New blood needed.  Everyone in house can’t have a longer relationship with Tepper than the new HC,  Get Jim Caldwell out of there.  He was brought in to help Tepper with hires after that abomination of an O and disaster season.   He makes no sense retaining next season.  He is a direct channel to Tepper based on them nonsensically having him help “fix” this in the interviewing

Caldwell wasn't brought in to oversee the 2023 O - that was always going to be Reich and Brown as his understudy.  I never heard that Caldwell had a hand in any offensive game planning.

My impression was Caldwell was brought in to work with Brown and the offensive assistants and Reich, very much like Capers did with Evero and the defense.

And how did that O pan out….with the Caldwell help?  We aren’t really saying anything that different.  

and at the end….everyone on O is gone and Caldwell’s status improved with Tepper. Again, the math ain’t mathing.  Why would you want our new HC to have Caldwell forced on his staff given what occured and where he presently stands with Tepper?

you call Brown an understudy.  Some claim he installed the O, wrote the playbook on his own.  Everything about that O should be burned to the ground.  Jim is part of it.  I don’t care to guess which parts.  That’s the point. 

if the new HC wants an old HC? Cool.  Let him go pick.

Pretty much.  He was more of a mentor to Frank, per his own words. How did that work out Frank?

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
