Awesome dude and great defensive assistant/assistant HC but I thought he was a very flawed DC here before he got the Cards job so I'm not surprised 49ers fans aren't thrilled with him. Maybe we were just spoiled by McDermott, and Wilks wasn't as bad as Eric Washington, but still he wasn't great as a DC.

I would still take him over Reich 

I wouldn't.   Not because I dont think the team wouldn't be better.  I think we would probably have a couple wins.  Wilks reminds me of a Rivera.  A pretty solid average coach that the players love that we would stick with way too long to be average.  While Reich on the other hand it looks like may be replacable very soon.

......I feel like neither should be HCs and we should've gone the "young offensive mind" route. 

 

YES!  This was the correct way.    Steichen / Ben Johnson.    Obviously Ben Johnson spurning our advances might have changed our strategy. 

I don't think Wilks or Reich are the right man for a team that's building with a young QB in today's NFL.  

Wilks is a good DC though. He is not the problem in SF but he wouldn't be a savior here as HC.

The 6 man blitz looked like it worked. Not Wilks' fault that their vet CB got bodied by a skinny rookie WR on an underthrown ball right in the DB's hands.

No, it didn’t really work, Cousins was still able to get the ball well downfield.

There were 7 seconds left when Addison scored and Minnesota had no timeouts. That play was basically a Hail Mary and yet there wasn’t a single defender behind Addison and he was single covered. That’s a terrible call. Sorry, but it was the type of blitz play you see on a last play before the half or end of the game that usually works because it’s not easy to get a 60 yard TD on any attempt. The problem is that when the other team has one play left and no timeouts and 60 yards to go, there is no reason to blitz and single cover their best WR. If the blitz is picked up, you gave the offense a chance as we saw.

It was funny to hear the announcers skewer Wilks, but the DC is pretty much always skewered when they do something like that.

I think that’s a hard truth.

He found a perfect role here for Rivera running practices as his AHC/DBC. He’s got some great coaching abilities but from a game planning and playcalling standpoint, he’s definitely had his faults.

Also—We can’t be blind to the games we got steamrolled with him as interim. He was great for the moment but it doesn’t make him the hire that should have been. Reich was the wrong hire but that doesn’t mean it should’ve been Wilks.

Honestly it was just a terrible call. If they play deep zone the best that could happen is a completed pass that runs them out of time for a field goal. What he called was the only way the Vikings would have even scored.  The call shouldn’t be defended. Media, analysts, their own head coach questioned it. I don’t know why anyone here would defend it other than just trying to defend Wilks.

Wonder how many 49er fans are calling for the team to trade Nick Bosa and/or complaining that they paid him.

Their defense got picked apart and the team had zero sacks. I’m sure there are a bunch of posts trashing Bosa and not Wilks right?

That can’t be right. Bosa is elite and always makes the play in critical moments and on 3rd downs. Unlike Burns. Did we trade him yet? He doesn’t finish plays, can’t stop the run, takes plays off, and just doesn’t care. Hennessy is cliche, and Spider-Man is stupid. 
 

If he wants elite money, then he should have (checks notes) 2.5 sacks like Bosa.

Exactly, I have no idea why people are defending Wilks. An opponent has 12 or so seconds left and 60 yards to go with no timeouts. The only way you give up a TD is if somehow their best WR gets behind coverage and makes a play. Not only was their best WR single covered, there was also no one deeper just in case.

I will say Ward also should have knocked the ball away. I don’t know why in some cases CBs don’t just knock the ball away. With that little time, you just have to keep the ball as far from the WR as possible. By trying to intercept the ball, he made it possible for the WR to grab it away or if he doesn’t catch it, he made it possible to somehow bounce around to the WR.

Bosa vs Burns isn’t even a debate. Burns has been more durable and that’s it. Bosa is a better rusher. He’s better against the run. Doesn’t require as much assistance to make a tackle and has sacked the QB more ( finishing plays ) than Burns despite 12 less games. Burns has gotten ten sacks once. Bosa went over 15 twice.

For sure the DB could have made a better play but proper coaching doesn’t even put him in that position to begin with.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
