Wilks to be promoted to DC pending McDermott hire

Sweet!!! Sucks to lose McD, but Wilks should slide in nicely.  Did some wonderful things with JNo, Bradberry, Coleman, etc.  Give him Adams/Hooker or Barnett/Thomas on the edge and watch this defense return to prominence. 

Next questions now - Will Washington follow McDermott to Buffalo? That would be a huge blow if he does.  

Who takes over for Wilks.... saw some people saying Tillman or Harris.

Very excited to see how he does. He is one of the best coaches in the NFL (I think) and I hope he doesn't move up to being a HC too  quickly, because he has the chops for that too.

I'll be interested to see if he brings in some new faces even beyond replacing guys that McD takes with him.

I'm excited to see his take on Rivera's base defense.

Probably assistant defensive backs coach Curtis Fuller. Would be great to see Tillman get on the coaching staff officially as an assistant.

    • Of course it's a crapshoot to find a truly elite QB. But we don't even need that to be competitive or successful. Our two best long term starters in 3 decades of existence were both flawed yet productive passers and each led us to a Super Bowl. Hell Jake Delhomme in the year where his arm went off a cliff and we had to start Matt Moore for a couple spells we had a superior passing offense than anything we've seen under Bryce Young the last 3 years. We're still trying to crack the top 25. All I'm saying is this is not the 2023 Panthers by any means. The cupboards are not bare. We are not working with scraps. We have invested through the nose to build up the roster and the trenches on both sides of the ball. We've also added multiple first and second day pass catchers in the draft. If a QB can't succeed here they are cooked.
    • That last line is the key. Passing game lives or dies off the running game. I struggle to see any help the passing has provided in return - there is no pass to op n up the run to speak of.  Add in that we have downgraded the run blocking at left tackle according to analysts,and I really don’t know what to expect from C….  It puts more load on th passing game to help out
