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...

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
