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.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
