Coach Wilks, I apologize for thinking the defense may take a step back this season!

health and depth will be the question.

Yeah our depth is a huge concern of mine and it was the reason why we looked horrible in preseason since these are the guys that play most of the games. We cannot have a single serious injury on our defensive line or opposing teams will have their way.

I'll disagree… lightly.
Yes some concerns about second string but the level of first team play will help elevate one of those backups when they come in.

Pretty sure Wilks was in the booth, not on the sideline. When the broadcast showed "Wilks" on the sideline I'm 99% sure that was assistant coach Johnny Holland.

I think this is a specific game plan against Kenny Pickett.

"Kenny Pickett continues to thrive against the blitz: Pickett has a 71.7% completion rate against the blitz, which is the highest among all NFL quarterbacks."

DID YOU ???
Did you even noticed how 7 got the INT ??
like Isiah Thomas told Pippen... " MENNN, GO TO THE PARK !! "

Only thing I'm concerned about is stopping the run. Wilks is a secondary guy. He had Brian Burns, Matt Ioaniddis and Derrick Brown and still only were ranked #22 against the run.
It is a concern. I'd rather be great against the run and OK against the pass because I think if you can't defend the run you're way more susceptible to play action and misdirection.

i do think we will blitz more than we did with Ryans but I don't think he will blotz as much as he has in the past because this is the best DL he's ever had he may not need to
