Where's the Defense?

I never thought I'd see the day that our Offense would be the one carrying the Team. It seems like the last 5 or 6 games this defense has been as porous as a sieve.

At Atlanta 392 yards and 45 points

At Green Bay 438 yards and 31 points

Tampa Bay 384 yards and 23 points

Denver 292 yards and 10 points (that one wasn't that bad)

At Giants 459 yards and 34 points (this was IMO the worst)

At Saints 417 yards and 31 points

Now I know we won most of these games but I don't think this will hold true during the post season. Against the saints it seemed like our secondary was out of position way to often and this wasn't the first game it seemed that way. Something needs to change IMO if we are to go far in the playoffs.

In some games (not all but some) we appear to lose intensity on defense after we get a lead. Is that the co-ordinator, the players or both?

I think Trgovac's system has lost its edge the last couple of seasons. And there are now three very good D coordinators available in Mangini, Crennel, and Marinelli (don't laugh at that one). I wouldn't mind seeing any of them after this season but I wont hold my breath.

      Happy Thanksgiving You Filthy Animals

      By rayzor · Posted

      Just had Thanksgiving meal with a couple dozen family and friends. I lucked out and got one of the smoked turkey legs. Stuffing, mashed taters and gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, kale, smoked ham, chicken and rice, corn, lima beans, cranberry sauce, and great people. My brother got his guitar out and we got to singing. Lots of actual conversations with people I hardly  ever get to see, haven't seen in a while, or who I never met before. Just a great moment to remember.

      3-8 would be a higher win percentage than 3-9

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Same... With the personnel the Niners had, that defense could have been historically good in the right hands. Under Wilks they were certainly good, they didn't quite rise to that level. Honestly, I see Wilks kinda like I see Rivera: fantastic person, decent head coach. Skill wise, phenomenal DB coach, so-so DC. His greatest strength is his leadership. Hard to find many better in that department. In the Xs and Os / execution area though, not as good. Bottom Line: Wilks is the sort of coach that needs a staff that excels in those aspects of the game where he's weaker. But, like Rivera, I don't know that he scouts assistants very well. That as much as anything might be why he's not in the NFL now.
