I think we want him to be a very good DC in just not seeing a lot of evidence for it. I don't think he's bad I just think he's basically pretty run of the mill. Given great talent I'm sure he could look great. Run of the mill with great talent to work with will look great. I think don't think Evero is going to drag down a defense but I also don't think he's going to lift up a defense over it's base talent level either.

He was very good in Denver the year before we got him (they didn't want him to leave, but they fired his friend who was the HC so he felt slighted) and he was very good last year for us when we had a handful of NFL starting calibre players. 

I don't know if he'll ever field a dominant defence because to me it looks like his thing is getting players to play above and beyond their skill level in a 'bend but don't break' zone scheme, but he's very good regardless.

Just saying, our d is trash.  Always so much hype around this guy as a coach, but I'm not seeing it.  He's never criticized, but he should be.  It just seems like the d isn't prepared.  I know there is a talent gap, but tackling and effort is a different story.  I'm not saying he is a bad coach, and he's well spoken...but I haven't seen results that scream that he is a great coach.

 

We have 1 cornerback.  That’s basically our defensive roster.   There is no scheme to not suck  when you have no talent.  

Evero was setup to fail this year.  He will fail.  He will be the fall guy face this year.

Does Evero tackle?

Does Evero have pass rushers?

Look at the defense Horn is the only legit starter we have. 

 

You gave him a no name defense and expected him to make something out of nothing.

 

Draft Sanders and draft all defense. That's my only suggestion at the moment. Offense has some ballers.

With this logic why’d we ever fire a coach?  I mean Ron, Matt, Mark never played a snap while they were part of the organization.
 

No he’s not on the field but it is his job to make sure the players he has play fundamental football. I’m not saying fire the guy but yeah, he gets paid to coach.

Thats true.

 I feel like this is similar to last year BY, yes the OL sucks and the TEs and the WRs(minusAT) but so does BY too. Not at the same level, but evero could do better. 

Not to devil's advocate this. He got to pick his safety, LB, and Robinson. Hes picking lots of the groceries and I think hes the highest paid DC in the NFL. 

Plus they have never found a NT. Tutlte and dbrown going down hurts. Ray and thurman were try-out dudes that found their way onto this team. They are starting and playing heavy minutes. 

evero was also a big part of trading up for dj johnson.

Sure, but they basically were like….you a forced to comeback and we are burning down this D.  Here’s a couple dollars, pick some bargain bin kids you like.   

I think it was all strategic.  Plan was to improve the O hopefully and have the D stink,  then when we only win a couple games….Evero, the dude forced to be here, takes the hit.   That way the new era gets the angle of success/improvement.   There is basically always a fall guy most seasons you can see coming.  Evero was talked about being it before the season started off. 

Evero is like Philly McD.  The DC ain’t the issue.  Team ranked the D roster

I don't see him being retained barring some unquestionable turnaround. I assumed he could scheme some sort of respectability even with a weak roster. 

I don't think we'll have a say in the matter. His contract will expire in the offseason - he'll definitely leave to go and coach a D with actual NFL players on it.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
