Shanahan needs to send Wilks to the film room for the next two weeks and LEARN. Bosa is still the same player he has always been. Currently, he leads the league in QB hits. The difference this year is instead of playing a lot of press man, Wilks is playing a soft zone which allows the QB to get rid of the ball quicker before Bosa can finish the job.
It is hard to say if it is that matching zone or man we are seeing a lot of....whatever it is...QBs are reading it super fast, and OCs are pulling coverage out of the passing lanes at will.
I am with you.... Bosa is not the problem...dude leads the league in QB hits...he is still getting to the QB as much as anyone...
The problem is QBs know where to go with the ball VERY quickly.
How anyone can hear "best game of the season" over and over again against this defense and point at Bosa is beyond me.
Every damn week... some RB is having his best outing, or some QB is having his best outing....
The other team knows EXACTLY where and when to pick up blocks in the run game, and EXACTLY how to beat coverage.....heck it feels like they know it pre-snap most of the time.
