We are very fortunate to have Wilks.  So many times a new DC comes in and changes everything.  We have been going pretty much with the same defense since Ron got here.  I was happy when Wilks left SD to come here.   I just hope the tree is getting bigger.  I don't expect Wilks to be here but a year or two.  That is if he does as we expect he will.  When he does leave. Who'll be next?

I was never a fan of McDermott. Felt like his defenses gave up a lot, especially towards the end of games. 

That's the nature of the Zone beast though.

I always liked McD. Smart guy, learned under the best in Jim Johnson, then learned some more under one of the best Defensive minds in the league in Rivera, he's had the head coaching lined up for a long time coming. I am happy we have Wilks too, because he was Riveras original choice to be DC and seems smart and capable enough to lead the whole squad moving forward. 

But With Rivera at the helm I really don't think Our D will ever be horrendous, at least it never should. We can all say what we want about Rivera but the dude is a stud at defense.

I do believe Wilks will be a tad more aggressive and creative though. We will probably be lucky to hang on to him past this season.

What makes you believe that?

If that happens then I Eric Washington, come on down

Yeah, he's one of the best D-line coaches in the league. We're lucky to have these guys. I feel the same way about our O-line coach too. One thing RR said the other day stuck in my head. He was asked what Matt Kalil was improving on and RR said that he was getting better already at his footwork and hand placement. My first question was, why in the hell wasn't his old coach working on that with him? My second thought was that we're lucky to have coach Matsko (sp?)

Base scheme isn't changing which I think is a good thing.  However, multiple players have mentioned in interviews that Wilks will probably be a little more aggressive with his play calling compared to McD.  I know Jeremy Cash was one in particular that insinuated this during one of Igo's podcasts.

With the personnel we have, there's no reason not to straight dominate.. Peppers >Ealy, Shaq's 3rd, sophomore CBs & different Ss, we've gotten better on each level of the D.. I am so lookin forward to this team even coming close to their potential...

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
