Should the 49ers retain Steve Wilks?

I'm asking for too much now that it's playoff time, but if we lose defensive players next year.. this scheme is not going to work

its the same as last year we are allowing the same amount of points yards and yards/play as last year

Meh

The defense, especially the front 7, continually underperforms their talent level

Totally agree.

The defense is likely the biggest component of this team winning a Super Bowl, because it's the least predictable element (or the one with least control from Kyle).

Pretty sure this is accurate.

If he doesn't get hired as a HC he's not getting fired.

Exactly, what a ridiculous thread started here. 000% chance Steve Wilks gets fired and hopefully he comes back for at least another season. We have young DBs that need to be taught and motivated for the future.

it would be nice to have some continuity. I imagine it's difficult to come to a new team and succeed right away. The players love him. I think he builds off this year

True, but we had a lot of help with the offense blowing out teams and making them one dimensional

Our D has been basically the same of last year but for some reason this year maybe Bosa getting only 10.5 sacks is the reason why they don't pass the eye test to me

If someone hires Wilks just promote Bullocks.

Armstead missing the last 5 games was brutal for our run D.

Opponent rush yards per attempt over the last 3 games - 3.6 (half a yard better than our season long number)

I'd post for 5 but I'd have to do the math as it's not a readily available option.

Rush yards per game.

With Armstead: 79
Whitout Armstead: 115.4

You can be sure that the Cardinals don't run +200 yards on us with Armstead on the field.

You see the yards per attempt are down though, at least through the last three. Larger volume = more yards... whatever the efficiency is, good or bad.

Yards per attempt wise we were lower than our season average in 3 of the 5 games Armstead missed. We were especially bad against the Cardinals.

The point of my post wasn't really the stats themselves though. If you look at both stats together you might wonder why we are allowing the better part of a yard more per rush than last season, yet teams are running the ball against us less. You'd think they'd run it more. The missing context is the problem.
