Yeah, this is the least talented defense in franchise history. Hard to beat him up that badly.

 

I need to see more of DJ, that one game made me re-think. If he can keep up those pressures, it does give me a different view.

With a young head coach I like having a DC who can carry that side while Canales continues learn and focus on the offense.

I know that Canales has history with Salah.

People saying this have no idea, Evero may be the most respected name on Defense around the league not already a head coach right now. His body of work speaks for itself. He kept our crappy defense together with Smoke and Mirrors last season.

we were the 4th Ranked defense last year despite having a terrible offense which continually put them in bad positions(why we ranked so poorly in PPG). Baring Evero getting a HC job. We need to to keep him here if possible.

Respectfully, I completely disagree.

Last year we were: 

32nd in Sacks.

32nd in Turnovers. 

32nd in Rushing TDs allowed 

29th in Scoring. 

We were absolutely atrocious on defense last year and that was with a full stable of weapons in Derek Brown, Frankie Luvu and Brian Burns that played all 17 games. 

Using yards per game as a metric to guage our success lacks the context that because our offense was so inept teams were not driving the length of the field, they were starting at their 40-50 yard line. 

This year, our Defense ranks: 

31st in Sacks.

Tied for 19th in Turnovers 

31st in Rushing TDs allowed

32nd in Scoring 

His defense fails to get pressure, fails to turn the ball over and fails to stop the run. Three things you absolutely have to do to be successful in the NFL. 

Denver meanwhile has not missed a beat without him. 

If another team wants to hire him as a HC and the Panthers get two 3rds for it I'll wish him the best and pack his bags myself.

They had their chance if he was hired as head coach. I feel like he’s kind of a smoke and mirrors coach himself. But maybe it’s just the lack of talent on defense.

I hope someone gives him a HC job. Good for him, good for us, good for the league.

I think it’s a talent issue imo. Seriously how many players on the defense right now, start on our Super Bowl team? Not counting the players on IR. One? People need to realize our talent on our defense right now is pretty abysmal. 
 

The fact that he had a similar unit ranked in the top 5 in total defense last year was nothing shy of amazing and why he got HC interviews.

Talent issue. As I said in my other post how many of our current players are starting on our 2015 team? One? Maybe?

The 4th ranked defense is an illusion. 

Kinda like when Phil Snow had the #2 defense in the NFL...

I should add that given who's on our schedule today, this statement could turn out to be...I'll timed.

I ain’t gonna lie I’m fully expecting us to get destroyed today. The moment we are down by 14 points I’m going fishing.

wonder how many people are gonna be upset calling for coaches to be fired after we have probably our most predictable loss of the year.

I wonder if Jonathan Cooley would follow Evero. I really enjoyed the interview that he did with Jourdan Rodrigue back in August. You could tell right away that he's an effective communicator and teacher with not only his ability to clearly convey message/scheme to but also his ability to connect with and understand players. I especially appreciated his focus on maintaining his players' confidence by rewarding effort and giving them room for failure.

I'm prepared to see an indignant wave of Bryce excuses. This will be a very good test for him though. Not the Saints D.

As others noted the stats on that were a bit deceiving but I felt the defense did just pass the eye test better last year.
