Our likely HCs D is getting stomped out

twostepgiants : 1/7/2018 6:22 pm
Steve Wilks claim to fame is 1 year as DC of this Panther D

So far, 244 yards of offense allowed. 3 TD drives allowed. Brees has a 151 QB rating. This is just in one half of football

Forget takeaways or sacks, the Carolina D has managed just 1 QB hurry and only 1 tackle for loss. Ie no pressure at all

But don't worry. Wilks is gonna command that room at halftime and lead men in the second half

Don't want him...  
Torrag : 1/7/2018 6:25 pm : link
...never wanted him. We went with the guy with no experience last time. NY isn't the place for these guys. That locker room right now isn't the place for these guys.

Bring in someone with some depth to his resume. It cuts down on the guess work considerably.
He's facing a HoF QB who had a 72%...  
FatMan in Charlotte : 1/7/2018 6:26 pm : link
completion rate this year, playing at home where they have routinely blown teams up and scored a lot of points.

There haven't been many DC's to knwo how to stop the Saints, but carry on as if he's supposed to make him look like Bortles in a monsoon or something.

The Saints  
Sammo85 : 1/7/2018 6:31 pm : link
pretty much dominated possession and play against the Panthers D this year in both games.

So this isn't surprising really.

But overall I haven't been impressed with Wilks gameplan/playcalls today.

He's focused on stopping the run, which hurt them immensely in the first two games. His secondary however is being left in man coverage and they've blown a couple assignments too.
You’re overthinking it..

That's not all. That's too simplistic. A HC has to be intricately involved in knowing what his OC/DC are working with, what they're proposing, how it integrates to the overall gameplan.

They have to be involved as an executive/manager of all operations.

It just seems like a hasty assessment.
Sure, maybe it is unfair to judge him by one game  
UberAlias : 1/7/2018 6:41 pm : link
But then again, only one year as a DC, not exactly a huge body of work to go by, so you’ll have to excuse the skepticism. It feels a lot like McAdoo without extensive coordinator experience but with a personal connection.
Sure hope they aren’t overselling this whole commands a room thing.

I disagree. I see micromanagement as much more controlling. That is not what I delineated. A HC has to be informed because he is accountable and must hold all others accountable. He has to be knowledgeable and communicative. He should feel empowered to suggest changes or provide "counterpoints" to certain ideas or plans.

Although I will say a lot of great HCs have been seen as micromanagers if not outright accused of being so.

Definitely doesn’t look good.  
mattyblue : 1/7/2018 6:44 pm : link
He really did inherit a quality D, what his additions to it may be impossible to tell. It’s a tall task for an inexperienced guy to take over our current situation.

And finally, Wilks was a coach for the Panthers before Gettleman was hired there as GM.

If you told any DC coming into this game it would come down to Ginn and Josh Hill the DC would take that every time. Carolina has shut down the run. They’ve shut down explosive pass plays to Ingram/Kamara. Thomas has been pedestrian. They’re only 5 down with 9 minutes left. All things considered, I think the plan has been ok win or lose.

The Carolina D has just given them a chance to win and this thread was started in the 1st half.

Then again, somebody started a thread talking about Jacoby Brissett being a sure-fire star after literally a quarter of play in a game he ended up having three turnovers in and losing.

It basically means we have a lot of reactionary dumbasses here.

This game shouldn't move the needle either way...However, to be fair, WIlks has only 1 year as the DC, so one game means more than it means for say Mcdaniels (on offense). Can't have it both ways..if we are to look at many games vs 1 game, then many season as a DC would be needed.

And as pointed out, his only experience as DC is from the booth by his choice.

“My first year, I’m going to do it from up top. I know a lot of guys do it from the field, but I want to be up there so I can see things and get ready for the next call, away from the sideline with all the emotion and hoopla. I’ll be focused and locked in.

Their D put them in a hole early on. That's a recipe for a loss. Now, the offense didn't do them any favors, but still the point remains. Going down by two scores early changed that entire 1st half and forcing adjustments you typically would not want to make.

I don't think Wilks did an awful job, but he certainly did not do a good job. He made some choices and got burned hard by Brees. It happens.

that you can't judge Wilks poorly based on this game.

Wilks isn't McAdoo. And coaches have to start somewhere. It is about finding the right guy, letting him set up his staff and team, then live by his philosophy. There will be failures and that goes with the job. But if you are looking to get a guy on his ascendancy for the long haul, then you grab him and sit back.
I find it interesting that so many  
Chris684 : 1/8/2018 6:18 am : link
have issues with no experience but are so ready to commit to a “name” like McDaniels probably because they feel it’s a bigger splash, in spite of the fact his only experience as HC is on par with what McAdoo did here.

If you bring in a first-time HC like Wilks, it’s because you believe in the qualities he brings as a leader. He happens to be known around the league as a no nonsense disciplinarian which is exactly what this team needs right now.

There’s also no reason he can’t, when he builds his staff, bring in a veteran coordinator with HC experience that he can lean on or bounce ideas off of. Someone in the mold of a Kubiak or Norv Turner.
