Wilks is not fuggin around. Not one bit.

1st string D absolutely smothered the Texans 1st string O. KK had 2 pressures and a sack ON THE FIRST SERIES.

In fact, the Texans had - 3yds on their first two series.

One thing I noticed was that Wilks was in the booth not on the field like many defensive coordinators.  And yet the defense was still aggressive and hungry.  Just dispels the myth often propagated here that somehow being on the field is a better option than up in the booth and that communication suffers when coordinators are not on the field.

There were games where McDermott called the defense from the booth, this isn't new.

Exactly, but how many times did folks criticize Shula for being in the booth and not on the field because McDermott was down there.  Now both coordinators are in the booth and it doesnt appear to be an issue.

Wasn't McD almost always in the booth?

yeah... one preseason game. as long as the job is getting done.  don't care where the coordinator is  at, he could be looking at the Southern Cross as far as I'm  concerned.

When you've got TD, Luke and Captain down there you don't need no hype man on the sidelines.

Our first team D looked bad ass...  now sprinkle some Pepper on it, and we are gonna be a major problem.  Good on Wilks!  I hope he maintains that aggressive demeanor that is one with our defense's personality.

The first team D looked ready to be absolutely dominant last night. I realize it's preseason and the Texans' offense, but those guys weren't willing to give up an inch without a dog fight.
