Because Kyle doesn't want to change. Vic Fangio was a consultant for this team a couple years ago. We refused to hire him as D coordinator bc Shanahan didn't want to change the scheme. Wilks, and by extension Sorensen, are byproducts of a coach who has no interest in trying something different…
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
That's just a weak excuse, as an NFL coach who been around for many many years they should know virtually every scheme not just "their own".
You would think they would. After all the folks on this website seem to know about every defense. Certainly a guy that does it for a living should understand them.
Right, yes we do have a lot of keyboard DC's. Let me tell you I was an OC for 10 years in High School, it's tough . People have no idea how tough it is and that was high school, I can't imagine the pressure and stress of doing it at the highest lever in the NFL.
Thanks for bringing some sanity and perspective. Many of us played in high school or maybe even some college. Each level is tougher by orders of magnitude. As you know you make your game plan based on film and what you expect the other team to throw at you. Then they change up and you have to adjust. Not easy when the team has been preparing all week to play a certain way.
