Demco took until week 5 or so to really find his groove.
Was hoping Wilkes would be a faster start due to his tenure in the league.
I do like his half time adjustment on Sunday.
Arrows up.
Yeah, I feel good about it! I think we will be just fine - just need to be a little patient. We are so used to ridiculous defense that so many in here panic when the other team gets a first down. This Sunday was bad in the first half but it was one half
I liked what Wilks said about his adjustments. He started to bring pressure in the 2nd half. Once the turnovers started, the Rams couldn't adjust against it, and run out of it and resulted in a 2nd turnover. Once that happened, Safford had to keep passing at that point. Game over. Hopefully it will be the same for the Giant's but sooner - like in the first quarter, since Giants have no real run game. Matt Breida is their best run weapon, in my opinion, and this defense will shut him down.
What's the process been like for you to just be up in the booth calling the past two games and just getting a feel for your guys and what positions to put them in, which buttons to push? Is it just a year-long process or do you get more kind of in the focus of what you expect out of your guys?
"Well, I think it's going to constantly be evolving throughout the year, but I don't think it's going to take, if I'm following your question correctly, a season to get a feel for what we want to do. I think you get a feel throughout the course of the game, and I think you saw that the second half and the adjustments that we made when we came out. With our defensive line, I try to allow those guys to settle in and go play. I try not to do a lot, but it turned into a game that [Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew] Stafford was getting rid of the ball quickly. So, you didn't really see the effect of what we are capable of doing up front because they didn't have an opportunity to do that. So, I had to adjust to be able to give those guys time. And the only way you can give them time is to get stickier in coverage on the backend."
I just wish they would of adjusted earlier than at Halftime. You could easily tell whatever they were doing in the first half was being greatly exposed by Stafford.
For sure. I think the 2nd 🐏 's game is going to be a blowout, assuming both teams stay pretty much the same. Which it won't. We'll be meeting the 🐏 in week 17 (or game 17) of the season. A lot of things will have changed by then, I'm sure. If the 🐏 can't establish a decent ground game - it will be a long season for them. McVay is a great passing coach and can scheme around a decent ground game, but not if his ground game its atrocious.
