He was also terrible as our DC.  I think the guy is at his level as a position coach.  There is nothing wrong with that.  He seems like a good dude who connects well with the players . . . but just not more than that.

#2 Overall, top ten points allowed,rush D  and almost every other metric 1st in sacks? 

 

You got him mixed up with that idiot after him Eric Washington.... derp

I agree with you on playing closer to the LOS as opposed to playing more in space, which was never his strength. Playing LB full time would not be a good long-term career move for him IMO. And unnecessary with the depth we currently have there.

Should really watch Chinn in his rookie year again. Luvu has developed greatly which is awesome and gives us a good problem to have. Chinn just can't be dropped back he's a waste back there. His 6'3" stronk ass needs to be poppin off at the LoS regardless of what he is listed at position wise. This is the era of hybrids like TE/WR and S/LB, C/S, RB/WR, etc. so it isn't a big deal as long as he's used correctly which I think Wilks is going to do.

 

(I also can't add any more pie today for some reason or i'd have put one on your post)

Also, in Arizona he had to work with the combo of Rosen at QB and Keim at GM, brutal stuff. Not sure if he’s a good HC or not, but hard to fault him for the Arizona fiasco.

Yeah it was so fast we didn't even get a chance to actually tell. It would be so cool if it works out

Meh it's addition by subtraction. My only expectations is that the players should be put in a better position to succeed in game...at least on D.  

I don't think the wins change much this year or that Wilks is a long term answer. We still have a McAdoo problem and Wilks was never more than a good DB coach with 1 year as a DC and HC. Just added basic stability and not Rhule's erratic BS along with a chance to see guys who Rhule wouldn't play for whateverfugging reasons. 

Watching Rhule's guys have meltdowns if they can't get their behinds in gear will be another positive. Time to cull the herd of overpaid underachievers that were on that bus to nowhere.

    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel. 
    • Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
