The NFP recognizes him as one of the top NFL assistant coaches out there:

Steve Wilks – Carolina Panthers

Wilks has been coaching defensive backs in the NFL since 1996. When Lovie Smith hired him in Chicago it was no coincidence that the Bears won the NFC title that year. He moved onto San Diego where he was assistant head coach as well as the secondary coach. This is Steve’s second year tutoring the Panthers defensive backs. A smart and innovative coach, Wilks' secondaries have always been among the league leaders in interceptions. Steve is an excellent teacher and motivator and always gets the most out of his players. Don’t be surprised to see Wilks become a defensive coordinator in the near future.

Wilks was a big reason the secondary improved throughout the year and by year's end we had guys coming off the practice squad and doing a credible job starting.  I expect the secondary to be better than expected this year and Wilks will be a big reason for it.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
