Yes, Evero is clearly on notice. I thought he would be a HC by now, he's lucky the Panthers didn't fire him after this history bad year. Scott did not fix nor help the defense, Im not going to defend that. I still think he could easily be cut and this is much about nothing. I felt your way about brenton bersin and I learn to blame the scouts, coaches, the GM for not bring in better players to keep the Scotts/bersin types off the roster. There's still time for that, it wouldn't take much for a UDFA safety to out-play Scott... Brandt and Dan got to upgrade this roster.

Crews have a long history of leaning on guys they shouldn't but still do. Bersin, that crappy Hback that Ron loved, DG with his Chandler or Ian Thomas through multiple people inexplicably. It's a thing. On a good team Scott wouldn't make the team over an UDFA but we will see. Still don't respect running to that quality given the situation.

Nick Scott, to me, is coming back because the team is moving on from Sam Franklin Jr.

Both are 29yr old with Nick being a 7th rounder out of Penn State and Sam being a UDFA out of Temple. Both play ST. Both are back-up safeties that can start for a game or two if needed (but should not be relied on for the entirety of the season as a defensive starter).

I think the big thing separating the two is that Nick's deal this season is quite literally almost half of what Sam's 1yr deal was last season ($1,292,500 vs. $2,575,000).

Wouldn't be surprised to see him and Chisena lined up as the gunners.
