Good observation because that's what I'm alluding to above. That's exactly what Wilks is forcing Bosa to do with the blitzing and 5-man DL stuff. He's basically throwing all the speed and counter stuff out the window by forcing Bosa to rush in one lane. DeMeco and Saleh would always be looking to get Bosa 1-on-1s and give him the freedom to attack in any way he wanted. He can't do that the handcuffs that Wilks is putting on him.
f**k!!
Maybe I undervalued Demeco and Salah. They would have bad first halves for sure, but they almost always adjusted accordingly. Wilks does not adjust. We were lucky during the Rams, Cardinals, a little bit of the Giants game that the offense was firing on all cylinders. The pass rushes and stunts look the same from half to half, the coverage appears to be the same, the holes in the run D appear to be the same.
Maybe Wilks needs more time with this unit to flourish. I also remembering certain times we (collectively as a fan base) bad mouthed Demeco and Salah in the beginning of their tenure. It just sucks dropping two easily winnable games because of turnover on D and going through a little bit of bumps with Purdy. I knew the adversity and bumps in the road with Purdy were coming, but I thought we had a D that could back him up.
I think the main issue we have as a fanbase is that we are a bit like a disappointed husband watching his wife get intimate with another man while we are the cuck. Sure, we said yes and agreed that this was good for our marriage, but it is still disappointing watching her enjoy herself when we know we are still better. Or at least we think we are.
