Coach - Steve Wilks thread

Also need to remember this game happened on Oct 23. Oct 23rd of 2022 DeMeco Ryans's defense gave up 42 points to the Chiefs whilst also ranking 372nd out of 372 games in DVOA. Literally the worst defensive performance in 22 years.....That defense then got worked through the first half of the next game against the Rams. They came out at halftime vs the Rams and became one of the best defenses in the league(save for a weird Raiders game where they gave up 34 points to Jarrett Stidham) Nov-Jan.

No reason to panic here.

i just finished talking to one of customers who was a former LB for the Texans a few years ago. Not a big name player but lasted 4 years in the NFL before his knee injuries caught up to him.
I asked him plain and simple what's up with the Niners defense.
He said the players are playing the scheme that the DC calls. The DC is not making the in game adjustments that are needed and has no freaking clue why the hell Bosa is out in the flat. Not much players can do on the field unless it comes from the DC.
I know it's everything everyone is saying but thought I'd share it.

I'm definitely panicking about our scheme/play calling. It sucks. While the personnel is still top 10.

Seems like Kyle didn't want another young guy he'd have to oversee as much. Wanted a veteran so he could focus elsewhere. Also someone who'd keep the wide nine. I was 50/50 on this dude. He bombed in AZ but who doesn't. But he's never been that impressive where he's went. Hoping for the best.

Read between the lines of what the players are saying now. They absolutely despise the scheme.

The Bosa comments can be viewed as a bit of a red flag. Lil odd to see that in public, we are not usually that club. Any other remarks from other players?

Bosa stated that "we have always been a rush 4 team". We have blitzed 25% or more in 3 of our 7 games this season. Called a house blitzed at the absolute worsed time to call a blitz. Kirk was 7 of 9 for 134 yards and a TD vs the blitz. There needs to be a whole lot of self scouting during the bye week for both Shanny and Wilkes.

Gym Shorts would have been perfect for this defense but he was picked up before Ryans was hired as HC of Houston.

I think there's a world of difference between a first time DC struggling to find his way versus a guy whose results have continually been more mediocre then good. I'm seeing the same things with the 49ers and a regression in the defense that happened in Arizona when Wilks replaced Todd Bowles's scheme with his own and suddenly the Cardinals couldn't stop the run, the defense couldn't get off the field and receivers were running wide open all over the place. I remember Cards fans consoling each other that it was still early and these were just growing pains and that the defense would turn it around.

Not only did the defense not turn it around, things got worse. In one season they went from being ranked 6th to 20th defensively and the run defense was ranked dead last in football. In general, every defense that Wilks has called has had great difficulty in stopping the run.

This. I had a bad feeling when this guy was picked up. Then I thought, I was just being a negative Nancy and Kyle knows what he is doing..right?

We know Brock helped kick out Jimmy and Trey..maybe he can help kick this guy out too. Haha. Use that clout Brock, talk to Shanny, he loves you. LFG, do it, haha.
