The past three weeks, Wilks’ defense has been elite at everything. It has given up a league-low 10 points per game, and 7 of those 30 points were a pick-six from Brock Purdy. It also has generated 5 sacks per game – 2nd most in the league. Plus an average opponent’s quarterback rating of 66.0 – 3rd lowest in the league. Plus 71 rushing yards per game – 3rd lowest in the league.

    But even then there’s reports going around that Shanny had to override aspects of his game plan

    Idk how anyone could overlook this. Shanahan brought him down from the booth and likely has him sharing the play-calling responsibilities with others.

    At the very least you could assume they sat him down and told them to run what’s worked for years and not his prehistoric version of an NFL defense.

    Even if we go to the Super Bowl, he’s getting fired after this season if there’s another DC option available.
