Coach - Steve Wilks thread

Went from young, amped up coaches that got everyone fired up to an old curmudgeon sitting up in a booth and has only had a single year of calling Top 10 defense.

There's 2015-2016 level defensive lapses happening. Teams confidently marching it 80+ yards repeatedly and lightning this defense up with mediocre players.

Written about Wilks after he was fired from the Cards.

But a defense that still had Chandler Jones, Patrick Peterson, Budda Baker and others rarely played up to its talent level. It finished last in the league against the run, collapsed every time the opponent threw a punch – see 45 straight points by the Chargers, the 40-14 loss to the Falcons, etc. – and by the end of the season couldn't tackle a running back if his feet were in quicksand.

some one is going to think about posting about over reactions.....but I think it is darn fair to expect less 70-80 yard scoring drives on the collection of talent the 49ers defense has.

Defense has to get off the field.....

All the pressure is on Purdy now...miss a scoring drive and it can lead to a loss...

Week after week. Even at their worst under Saleh and Ryans you weren't seeing teams constantly pushing it down the field like this and converting 3rd and forever over and over again like its nothing.
