It's hard to say since it's the first full season of "his" defensive approach.  I think he may have gotten too aggressive with his overall approach.  The players looked confused or uncertain at times, even Keek himself was off at times. 

I'm hoping that if he's here next year the guys will have had enough time to fully grasp his defense and have a better understanding of their responsibilities.  It was much the same when McD took over if you remember.  It was a transition struggle the first year.  I think it will get better.

When you're best defensive player looks like he's worth about 1/3 what you're paying for him you've failed to some degree. If we're going to continue to blitz that much then we need players who can actually blitz well. Watching Captain and others blitz (Luke getting blown up by little RBs while trying to blitz) was horrifying. We have the wrong pieces in place to play defense like Wilks wants imo.

It felt like the defense as a whole regressed throughout the year. My biggest problem is that blitzes backfired against QB's too often and we allowed too many big plays in situations where it should've been stopped far earlier. I do like the aggression but we didn't back off when opponents used that tendency against us.

Well said and agree 100%

wow, that's nuts. 

do you have a source? 

I saw it on twitter yesterday and now I can't find, so not sure if it is 100% accurate. But with that said, I just did the math and the last 7 games the defense was giving up 387 yards and 25 points a game. Those are very concerning numbers, and not great for someone looking to be a head coach.

I’m not impressed, defense feasted on weak qbs but got ate alive by some of the top tier guys, same story as years past except we force the issue by blitzing, which I did like at times but got predictable. Besides shaq, didnt really put some players in the best position to succeed. Overall secondary play was abysmal as usually and that was really disappointing

For those that don’t like Wilks, quick question. Why do you think he’s so sough after? People complaining about the blitzing, but seriously it’s better than the alternative. Our zone defense sucked because of our personnel. Corners sucked. So hey why not blitz. 

Wilks vibe just screams leader of men. I have no doubt he will be a really good HC.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Yeah and he succeeded at an even higher level in LA with an even better surrounding cast. Goff is a guy that isn't really able to dramatically elevate players around him but he can make a good situation even better. He is capable of that. Some QB's aren't. I am not sure Dak is able to do that and he is in a similar "class" as Goff, IMO.

      i think i could handle that for a year. beyond that....i don't know.  back where we lived, when we had a few inches of snow, it might have been a couple feet because we weren't getting out and doing anything. i remember times where power would go out for days on end. we had propane and electric heat, depending on the floor. basement (had a couple bedrooms and a living room and kitchen down there) and main floor had gas logs. main floor gas logs was enough to take care of the upstairs, so we could stay warm and cook on the grill when we needed. we had a well so that was always an issue when the power went out. had to make sure tubs were filled with water for the toilets and we had gallons of water for drinking and cooking available. always had to make sure we were ready. that wasn't always the case. we had a couple moments where we were going through propane quickly and because we were dealing with the worst propane company in the world (amerigas) they wouldn't get out to put gas in our 900 gallon tank. made for some nerve racking moments.  i know y'all were probably a lot more able to handle that kind of thing, but after the little bit (comparatively) that we got here i just have no desire to get trapped again. maybe for a day or two a year get snowed in and i'm good.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      I think he is just drawing a DC to them line and that's about as far as his thought process went. It makes almost no sense outside of that. Also, it doesn't make sense for Pittsburgh or Seattle at this juncture either.  I think our "veteran" pool is basically gonna be the Dalton/Flacco tier or the "pick your poison" options of young busts(Jones/Z. Wilson) or wild, TO prone gunslingers(Darnold/Winston/etc). We have the option to pursue I genuinely believe(depending on the way the rest of this season goes), we either draft a QB in the top 10 or resign Dalton. Outlier third option on taking one of the wild gunslingers that Dave feels like he can work with.
