He absolutely did. But let's look at some of yhe players. Odum is a special teams guy only. I guess they don't trust Mustapha enough. Campbell is just slow. As for our 4 man rush, idk what's going on. But I'd rather just get young guys in there who are still hungry to hunt the QB. Ward just had a bad game. I think we'll get better but until the young guys get up to speed, there won't be any huge difference. Bare minimum, we need to be better on 3rd down and disciplined with the penalties.

Agreed on everything. This is where they just have to try to scheme better and get off the field. Gotta be able to dial up some sort of pressures with Bosa and Floyd coming off the edge.

Neither Bosa or Floyd are going to overcome double teams all the time. Even without the double teams they aren't getting to the QB as much as they should. The O lines aren't even worried about a blitz so that makes their job easier.

And that should be an easy fix. Especially when we had Hargrave. Stunts, blitzes, etc. As a DC, I'd just assume double teams and quick passes would be how teams would attack me considering that's been a consistent formula for the last several seasons. We gotta stop making it easier on them.

I want to see if he can grow/learn from his mistakes. That's something Wilks never did.
Go back to the beginning of this thread and read the comments. Most were favorable about this hire. They liked the continuity and the prospect of adding some new wrinkles. Now it was a dumb hire. Once again we make decisions after the fact. I wish I could place bets that way.

Wilks would love to rush the QB or blitz and have the DB's play 10 yards off. It was maddening.

Facts. Also neither Demeco or Saleh started hot. I'll wait until week 8 before I judge.

Of course it does but that's why they probably shouldn't have hired a guy that needs on the job training with this roster.

Maybe they should have gone with Lord Fangio. The Eagles D looks much better. I'm tired of this revolving door at DC. Fangio would not get poached and we would finally have consistency.
That's absolutely what they should've done it was the obvious choice.

What was the organization looking or knew about the we didn't, otherwise fangio is the perfect choice over Sorenson as a new coordinator. I know he is a 3 4 guy but Bosa and Floyd could have been upright.

I'm confused why they did not at least look at it.
Fangio should've been hired over Wilks last year.

Sometimes I think this stuff is overthought. Plan should be simple....what match ups can I give Bosa, Floyd, Elliott, etc so they can get to the passer? I get this part is harder without Hargrave. How can we eliminate the run game? How can we force the QB to go away from preferred targets?

Agreed. I was initially optimistic.. But I've been extremely disappointed so far. Saleh only had a rough start because the team was absolutely terrible with no talent. Sorensen inherited multiple pro bowl and all pro guys. It shouldn't look this bad.

FWIW he's taken accountability for it and hopefully he can work through the problems he's having right now. Everyone has to do much better, and the worry for me right now is I'm not convinced that enough of our guys are coming in prepared.

Brown, Yiadom, Campbell, and our entire DL minus Bosa (and even he has had some uncharacteristically bad moments) have been absolutely owned out there in the past two games.
He did well today and made some good adjustments.

I loved the blitzing as a an excellent change up.
He'll be an acclaimed head coach in two years like the others the Nancies have weeped about.
