Well we are in trouble then because it looks very easy to move the ball on us. I'm sick of how vanilla we are. QB's today get confused very easy we should do some things to confuse or make them hesitate
Talk radio guys mentioned something interesting that I didn't know, Wilks wanted to bring his own scheme in but Shanny didn't want it and was forced to learn the scheme already in place. Reason why Wilks took so long to grasp it and probably never really learned it completely.
This reads like it's from the Wilks camp to retroactively make Wilks look better.
We had the best defense in the league at the time and Wilks has bounced around his whole career - he only had 2 individual seasons as a DC in the NFL prior to the 49ers - it's not like had some amazing system coming with him
