Truly a great insider video on our new DC. It will be interesting to see him this coming season. You can see the passion and dedication he has with his players. Almost feels like he's a father figure to these young players. Great choice.

Wilks is a smooth customer.  Can't wait to see what he can do.

Great video. Wilks comes off as really solid.

My favorite line: "When the ball's in the air, it's ours."

Would like to see him on the sidelines vs in the box, seems like he would provide a little fire that is sorely needed.

I wonder what kind of conversations Steve Wilks has with Mike Shula? Steve says to Mike "you really don't know what the f*ck you're doing, do you?"

Wilks reminds me of my dad lol.

Thanks for posting this. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Wilks brings to the overall defense

The way he was on Bradberry tho. That right there, is the reason he developed into one of the top rookies this seasons. I can't wait for him to get in there with ALL the units in the defense and light a fire in them.

Agreed.

amazing. The only thing that worries me is he'll be taking a head coaching gig in the near distant future. my only hopes are he'll replace rivera when his contract is up.

Wilks is a fundementals guy who teaches technique and basic hand and body positioning. He won't be flashy and don't expect a bunch of gimmicks and scheming to win on defense. From what I have seen he will stress being sound in your technique, knowing where you are at all times, and execution which in the end is always much more important than playcalling particularly on defense where you are reacting to the offense. It will be interesting whether there will be less blitzing or more under Wilkes. Don't really know but my first take might be less.

He's a teaching coach. I'm excited about this move
