Stop blitzing.
Let the D-line do its job.
Leave Bosa on 1 on 1 with odd fronts.
Play more press-coverage.
Play Hufanga in the box a little bit more because he is a playmaker.
Trade for a CB if you need.

Well, you could compare the talent from last year to this year and it seems to have improved. I'm really hoping this is just a case of Wilks still feeling the players out and not a problem that can't easily be corrected. Having 2nd string QBs have success against what should be the best D in the league is unacceptable.
Wilks can dial up stuff, but at the end of the day, players have to go play the game and execute, win their individual matchups
He dialed up that play that let the Vikings score at the end of the half.
And if Ward executed his coverage correctly, Wilks call would've lead to a int. It's not Wilks or the players. It's both.
You have to look at the risk vs reward. What would the INT have gained in that situation? Imo, it would have gained nothing that a soft coverage and tackle would have in that same situation. The risk far outweighed the reward.
Yup. It's the risk vs reward. Just go into halftime. Don't overthink it. I had a problem with them lining up as if to blitz pre snap. When they actually blitzed I thought it was dumb. When it resulted in a touchdown I was pissed.
It was a stupid call. I was pissed as well!🤬

His blitzes rarely surprise anyone. We show it and give it away immediately.
We never run a stunt for s**t.

Needs to either get some new glasses or get on the sidelines. What's he's doing isn't working. Still not on him with the lack of pressure, especially with the amount of money on our DL.

Really want to see Brown play more. Lynch was so excited for him.

It seems like the marriage of Kocurek's W9 and Wilks scheme has not married well.

I don't think our wide 9 front works very well if we are putting on 5 guys on the line. He needs to put the defensive front back to how they like to play & apply pressure. I think he can make this defense work, but he has to be willing to adjust his style of play calling or it will hurt this team in the long run

Yes in this. We never get coverage sacks. When the other team sees the blitz which he doesn't hide they unload in 2 secs.

It's a little bit of everything right now. But overall I agree teams know we have a good line and game plan for quick passes but we haven't really adjusted properly for that or our secondary just can't handle it.

If they weren't going to go with Vic Fangio then they should have named someone on our staff as DC like Kocurek.

Kocurek doesn't want to be a DC

Okay you had your shot and lost us 2 games in the process time to let the defense do what it does well.
Rush 4, play wide with zone coverage ley Warner and Greenlaw trust each other. If he fxcks this game up I'm done with him
