Wilks as a Head Coach?

1. I like Wilks blitzing, as I like a more aggressive defense.   More aggressive than McDLT...replace Coleman and Johnson and we have a very good defense

2. I wonder if when the Wilks interview tour is over (Rooney) if Rivera still wants him...defense took a significant drop 2nd half of season.  Ron may still be in house cleaning mode

The drop off was player related not scheme, it’s a problem when you have a bunch of older players starting. They wear down over the season.

Perhaps the most concerning part is the regression of the DBs on Wilks' watch.

Combine that with the reckless and nonsensical blitzing that  had no regard for the strengths and weaknesses of the defense and we really imploded down the stretch.

Kinda felt like Chud auditioning for a job.

LOOK AT HOW AGGRESSIVE I AM,

We had two DE’s get 10+ sacks! How the heck is that “not getting pressure”?

If anything THIS year we got great pressure from the front four.

Brees burned us with a quick count to neutralize the wicked pass rush we had.

Pep is not Jared Allen. Pep could play 2 more years.

The secondary and linebackers were getting burned in coverage.

In all honesty the Saints defense just held Shula to bull poo points. If Shula is your OC you better have a awesome DC. Wilks isn't that but With Norv he probably will be able to be more aggressive.

If the secondary wasn't 223 yards off the WR then those blitz calls are fine...whoever's fault that is(since no matter who our DC is under Rivera that happens) is the issue.

Yall some funny goofballs thinking that more talented players can make up for such a large cushion on simple slant plays or if the WR just sits on his route and takes  smoke screen for free, or a curl, or a hitch.....its free catches for all every time.

The thing for the Giants is that all three of their current finalists are in play elsewhere.

McDaniels is reportedly going to Indianapolis, if anywhere.

Patricia will probably be the choice of the Lions.

That leaves the Giants with Shurmur, unless Arizona hires him first.

Then what?

They went from being coached by Wilks directly to being coached by Curtis Fuller and Richard Rodgers.

I think that's probably more of a factor than anyone realizes.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
