This is all you need to know. Until there are changes, no way we get a ring

we are top 10 in yds and top 3 in points
both on O and on D

lead the NFL most INTs

So you're cool with this defense?

Absolutely, players have to execute
there were plays to be made, ball went right through Wards hands, Gip with the penalty last week
Moody with the misses both weeks
then look at Shanny, no push on O and he runs into a wall on 2nd then 3rd down, with uncreative play calls
17 points back to back weeks from Shanny, all those TOs,

Wilks ain't the problem, I see he's the scapegoat, but a lot moreso than he deserves, it's like McG thread all over again
Don't understand the philosophy at all. Have one of the best defensive lines in the NFL and we play soft off coverage. Team just hand the ball off and dink and dump right down the field. Run 5 to 7 yards down the field turn and catch the ball. It's been this way the entire season. Garbage soft defense.

He doesn't want it. He prefers to just be a defensive line coach.
Making every random WR a star. Secondary guru doing work.

I'm not liking the long sustained drives given up over and over and over...

If we face a good qb like cousins or better with a better offense than the vikes--they're scoring at will.

They faced a lot of s**tty QBs early on, any good QB will expose this defense badly.
Is there any way we can shore up our run D this year? Or are we totally f**ked

I disagree with you. The pass rush is non existent and on the last play of the half you should not have your corner on an island where he can give up a 75 yd td. I think we allowed close to 500 yards?!....and the defense was on the field most of the game. Ive never seen so many wide open 3rd in longs in my life.

This guy took a veteran defensive unit that has been top 3 for years and they look lost and frustrated to me. A coach of his experience should know what to do.

Not with this DC in a million years.

Wilks will be to us what Greg Roman was with Harbaugh. An anchor that would not go away.

Kyle is far from perfect, but if Wilks isn't a match he needs to move on. He will lose the players quickly if he lets this fester.

John Harbaugh fired his OC midseason in 2012 and then won the Super Bowl.

Unfortunately our organization doesn't do either. They simply don't have the guts.

Whats Ray Rhodes up to nowadays?
Is he fired yet?

We lost to a PJ Walker led team, smoked by a team without justin jefferson. Every team now no matter who is the on the roster will pick apart this soft defense.
Can someone explain to me what he's accomplished in his career as a coach that made him the ideal candidate to handle this defense? Looking at his resume, I don't see any sustained success.

It's becoming obvious that this was a bad hire. As others have said, schematically, he's calling a different defense than what we've come to expect.
