"I take full responsibility for that call," Wilks said. "I have to do a better job and put the guys in a better position. We have good players. I know that, and can't really press the issue. And with that, moving forward, it's my responsibility to do that. So I wish I could take it back, but again, I got to do better."

and Ward also had his coaches back

"I feel like I played it good," Ward said via NBC Sports Bay Area. "I was in perfect position to make the play. Once coach calls the play, we got to go out and execute it. It doesn't matter whether he calls cover-1, cover-2, cover-3, cover-zero. If I'd picked that ball off, it would be a completely different story."

As far as the rest of the 49ers' defensive woes in recent weeks, Wilks praised the supporting cast around him, adding, "We're all in this together. I'm not hitting the panic button at all."

Here's the thing, these guys are all grown men, and we have a lot of leaders on this defense. It's part of both parties job to get together and discuss what's working and what's not. If Wilks doesn't listen, then you may even go to Kyle to talk about it.

Wilks has gotten far away from what was working and IMO on Monday lost his composure in terms of playcalling. Looked like he wanted to force something to happen so bad, he threw rational thought out the window, his calls got emotional and clouded his ability for situational awareness.

it was a play call and he effed up, manned up, and we move on, to Cincinnati
I agree with you, too many great leaders on this team for this not to work out on some level

"...there's certain things that go with (this) particular defense. I'm learning that. There's certain things that you can't sway away from. So as we evaluate, as I evaluate and talk to the coaches, most importantly as well as Kyle, I see those things. So again, that's why I'm not panicking. I know we have the personnel. I know we have the talent. I just got to do a better job putting them in a position."

He's saying what we want to hear, so it sounds like he recognizes what we've all been saying.

Now he's gotta go put action behind those words. Like the saying goes.. "Don't tell me, show me!"

They've sucked on more than one play. Glad he owned up to a single play. What about the rest of the s**t show the last two games.
Somebody other than Grant Cohn needs to ask Kyle Shanahan why his offense has only managed 17 points the last two games? Why is his play calling, especially the run game calls looking less and less creative by the week? Someone should ask him if he misses Mike McDaniel designing all his run plays and motion? Someone should also ask him why is he putting his quarterback in consent harms way with those QB sneaks and slow developing pass plays? Why is he basically on the verge of ending the career of CMC? Why is he refusing to use other RBs? Why is he unable to scheme George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk open more consistently in the passing game? Why doesn't he incorporate other WRs in the passing plays? Ask him why he seems to freeze up calling plays in tight games, especially the 4th quarter?

Someone should ask Chris Forrester why his OL simply unable to physically create holes in the run game, and move the opposing team's DL off the line scrimmage?

There are legit questions for John Lynch and even the anointed one Kris Kocurek about things that good to the departments they oversee too.

The bottom line is they win as a team, lose as a team. Rise and/or fall as a team. Everyone of them has to be and can be held accountable for past failures and current issues.
