Steve Wilks

So…our new head coach has been on the job for 4 days.  He has to travel across country to LA to take on the defending Super Bowl champions with our 4th string QB.  
 

And people here are already questioning what we might do here?  We are going to be a totally different team?
 

This board is completely crazy 

Give this man a few weeks at least…damn

They have all the basic game plays every team does, you just run more or less of whatever ones you want. Not too hard to realize we're not good at rushing 4 so we'll probably blitz more, maybe Wilks can convince McAdoo to run the ball more, pretty basic stuff to start that can have the team looking quite a bit different

There will be calls for firing him in game day thread during the first offensive possession.  
 

Aside from that,  I hope there is a different philosophy in game planning and more tenacity but I suspect this will be subtle and take time for it to be consistently noticeable. If this happens the team will actually look like an NFL team by the end of the season.  Considering the current state of things, I think this is a major accomplishment although I doubt it will have a meaningful impact on the record.

Exactly…he is already talking execution and toughness but this next game can’t reflect on this guy as a coach.  
 

Totally on board for giving him a chance even though with a 4th string QB it isn’t a realistic scenario

If you haven't noticed The Rams aren't exactly taking the league by storm this year, and Kupp/Donald didn't practice today with foot injuries. Very winnable game

I hate this idea that the team we are playing sucks.  Not true…every team in the NFL can we any week.

Uh yeah that's why I'm saying we are the other team and can win, especially in light of the fact that they haven't played that great and their best players are injured. Don't worry I'm not going to be upset with Wilks if he doesn't win his first game

Don’t be upset if he doesn’t win any games…he was placed in the worst situation to succeed.  My point

    • I dont care as long as he plucks the ball out of the air like he did in college, maybe it will rub off on XL and make him up his game too.
    • My boy: My wife has been cheating on me and I have proof! Here, look at these texts where she's congratulating some other man on how well he pounded her out like she'd never experienced before to the point he rearranged her IUD! I'm gonna post these texts on social media for the whole world to see! Me:  
    • I still think it's too soon to say last year's draft was bad. I think those who do are the eternal pessimists. We had 4 players who contributed last season. Two were starters. It's possible all 4 are starters this season. How is that a bad draft? I know it's because our roster was so bad but still, they are on this roster so it's the only one that counts.  Before I say it's a bad draft I prefer to wait and see how they play this season. It's possible we may have FIVE starters from that draft playing the season. Anyone who thinks drafting 5 starters by season two is a bad draft should visit a psychiatrist where they can get a prescription to help them live happier lives.    I'm not saying it was a success yet but I damn sure ain't calling it a failure yet. Most players don't make it. Most of those who do need a little time. One season isn't enough time which is why they are still on the team Leggete, Coker (UDFA but still we got him), Sanders, Smith-Wade and Wallace all showed promise last season. If they all take a step forward then it was a great draft. If only 1 does than it was an average draft. If they regress then and only then will I say it was a bad draft.  Fans often have unreasonable expectations compared to the reality of draft results. I believe this draft will shine as I think it's going to better due to the depth of the class but I also believe we will look back at 2024 and say that was a good class too. I think we have 5 players from that class who will be starters or rotational pieces for the next couple of years at least. That's a win.
