This, this, this - cover 0 cloud which Mahomey took advantage of a couple of time.  Even when he was with Ron they would go to that soft azz zone and try to just keep the lead.  Rivera and Wilks are two peas in a pod.

yep, going soft when the moments are critical.

The going soft debate here is interesting.

1. Rivera is responsible but not McDermott

2. Wilks is responsible but not Shanahan 

 

Gotta pay attention to tendencies. Has McDermott done it a lot in Buffalo? I honestly don’t know, but it was a problem during Ron’s entire tenure. Wilkes was the same way both times as DC here, during his interim HC time, and as DC in SF. I dunno if he was that way in Arizona but you can see a pattern with Ron and Wilkes.

Rivera was the head coach when McDermott was the DC and despite Riverboat making McDermott play zone our defense was the best I can remember in this century with McDermott as DC.

Shanahan is the HC not the DC and as far as we know, he only called a timeout once to tell Wilks not to play cover 0.

Yep. It's the HC responsibility to make these decision. People like McDermott and Shanahan so they will view the situation based on that and not who actually is in charge

You again aren't wrong but I can definitely see why he chose to fire Wilks. That unit honestly under performed for most of the year and the defensive play calling during that GW drive will probably haunt them for awhile. It was pretty bad.

Their production was identical to last year. Talking about yards being withing 5 a game and points within 1 with more sacks.

McDermott is still a zone guy and always has been. That is his lineage. Both him and Rivera were under Jim Johnson who was well know for his zone coverage defense. So was McDermotts first DC Leslie Frazier (well known zone guy) and now Babich (who followed from Carolina) the current Bills DC

      Canales just outcoached LaFleur

      Those last two plays before the last FG, we could have burned them so hard - but it is risky with even a better QB. But not sure they would have used that strategy against a better QB.  In any case Rico had no hope of breaking through that.

      One more win and it matches Wilks’ win total, he was the leader of the last 5-6 years. You have to go back to Tepper’s first year where Rivera won 7 to beat it. He won 5 the year he was fired.

      I watched a clip of all the offensive snaps. Young threw into some tight coverage and the guys made some plays on the ball. He also really missed some throws.  He has this middle of the field thing into a tight window pretty good and made three or four nice plays but he was just too inconsistent with his accuracy especially in the red zone. Today and in general.    That Int where people were chastising Legette for ‘not fighting through the coverage’, he in no way could have gotten to that ball. IMO. I think he thought it was going to hit the ground and didn’t see the defender coming for it. But not sure what he could have done. The camera doesn’t show the spatial relationship very well, I think the ball was way off. maybe 6 feet or more off target to the inside of the field.  Rico is a beast. And a very good receiver.   That was my impression without dissecting and rewinding, just letting the video roll. I did rewind the int two or three times to look at that one.
