黑豹队解雇防守协调员埃韦罗内幕披露：跑防与三档防守早已亮红灯
北卡罗来纳州梅克伦堡县夏洛特市的卡罗来纳黑豹队防守组换帅一事11月1日有了新的披露：据联盟内部人士詹姆斯·帕尔默（James Palmer）披露，球队解雇防守协调员埃吉罗·埃韦罗的原因不只是伤病，而是防守体系本身早已出现问题。黑豹队10月30日在27比19负于绿湾包装工队后宣布解雇埃韦罗。
尽管黑豹队本赛季饱受伤病困扰：外线卫尼克·斯考顿在训练营首日十字韧带撕裂，贾兰·菲利普斯因腿筋伤缺席最近两场，角卫杰西·霍恩与迈克·杰克逊自第三周起就一直缺阵，但据帕尔默披露，球队高层认为防守的问题远不止伤病。
跑防是最大短板：坦帕湾海盗队上周以近260码冲球、三次达阵打穿黑豹队防线，比分是43比13；自埃韦罗2023年上任以来，黑豹队约两成比赛被对手冲球超过200码，三档防守也始终难以离场。

Insider Discloses More Behind Panthers' Firing of Defensive Coordinator Evero: Run Defense and Third-Down Struggles Predated the Injuries
New details emerged on November 1 about the Carolina Panthers' defensive coaching change in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina: league insider James Palmer disclosed that the team fired defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero not only because of injuries, but because the defensive system itself had long-standing problems. The Panthers announced Evero's firing on October 30 after a 27-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Carolina has been battered by injuries this season: outside linebacker Nick Scourton tore his ACL on the first day of training camp, Jalen Phillips has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, and cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson have been out since Week 3. But according to Palmer, team leadership believed the defense's problems went well beyond injuries.
Run defense was the biggest weakness: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ran for nearly 260 yards and three touchdowns against Carolina last week in a 43-13 game, and since Evero took over in 2023, opponents have rushed for more than 200 yards in about 20 percent of the Panthers' games, while the third-down defense has consistently struggled to get off the field.
