Remember the Twitter thread about Wilks and Snow arguing?

Either way the combo of Wilks zone secondary and Snow's front 7 made zero sense. I'm not a fan of the zone stuff but I'm assuming he needs the front 7 doing particular things for the whole thing to work. In a perfect world he would switch to man and blitz like crazy but it may be zone and blitz like crazy

I'm pretty sure when Wilks ran the defense after McD left we transitioned to more man + pressures, the heavy zone was under McDermott who was an understudy of Jimmy Johnson in Philly. 

it's been years since then, but if memory serves that was the case. So even though Wilks as the secondary coach was likely primarily coaching zone it was a result of the defense McDermott wanted to run. 

We saw Wilks' preference when he took the reigns as it actually started off bad that season, and later I think we ended up finishing in the top 10. 

Right now front wise we make more sense as a 3-4 or 4-3 over / under fronts as a base, and a 2-4 as our nickel package, hopefully the 3-3-5 stuff we saw is tossed, and we get back to more traditional NFL fronts / personnel packages. 

3-4

IDL - Io / McCall / Brown 

Edge - Burns / YGM / Haynes <<< depending on 3-4 or 43

ILB - Shaq / Wilson / Nickel >>> Smith IMO needs to be paired with Shaq, he's our biggest, and most athletic offball LB'er

Corner / SS -  We already know who belongs in these spots, I will they need to stop asking Henderson to cover the #1 WR, get Jaycee out of the nickel spot and let him travel whether it's zone or man to each boundary, rotate Henderson, and Hartsfield as the nickel based on packages / offensive personnel, I think they were asking too much of Henderson. Pretty much all the issues with him occurred vs the number one receiver.

The first halfway decent offense we faced that wasn't starting a backup quarterback damn near scored at will pretty much from the first quarter on.

For whatever you may think about Wilks, he was right about Snow.

Perhaps, but I think it's a little presumptive to base whether or not he'd be a good head coach on that. 

Look, I'm not beating the drum for Wilks, but I'm also not going to dismiss him out of hand without context and before we can see more. Chances are, just the fact that he temporarily inherits this mess, he'll be sent packing in January.

Well the only context we have is his last chance as head coach, which was bad, so we will see what happens. 
This is still a Rhule built team so if he actually turns out a watchable product in spite of that I will be impressed.

Yeah, people wanting him to can McAdoo, it's pretty much impossible to install a new playbook on that side of the ball. He can try to convince McAdoo to call the games differently but that's about it. Only other option is to have Sean Ryan learn and call McAdoo's playbook which doesn't sound promising

Yeah, but installing a new defensive scheme, thats a breeze.

LOL

He inherited McDermotts Defence and made it worse than got a HC gig and poo the bed so I’m not really hoping he gets the full time gig 

After looking at his stint as coordinator and HC, I really see this as a PR stunt because so many were calling for Rhules head. We will probably be drafting top 3this year. That should get us one of the top 2 quarterbacks. I am still willing to draft Will Anderson if we get a proven  quality free agent QB but drafting a QB sets your salary cap up for the long haul.

Defense is fast and undersized for the NFL............and when your offense is 3 and out too much it puts that D back out on the field and by the 2nd half they are gassed...........

If they move Burns for a haul they could grab Anderson and a QB in the first have 2 cornerstone pieces on rookie deals. Burns ain’t gonna be cheap

J stew is on that podcast right now. I need some dirt on Rhule

For hardcore Panthers fans, the soap opera is real, and almost must-see TV for the next few weeks. 

Wilkes will be okay.  I believe he has a plan and in time it will be better.
