Steve Wilks,49Ers,Defensive Coordinator

Despite the 49ers' defensive coordinator Steve Wilks facing criticism for the team's recent losses, head coach Kyle Shanahan is not considering replacing him.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Steve Wilks isn’t going to be the 49ers’ October scapegoat. You can argue that he should be. You can declare that he might still end up there. You can point out that he certainly has a long way to go to fully replace DeMeco Ryans and Robert Saleh in the statistical charts, the win-loss record and hearts and minds of fans.

It looked like we did less today. Whether we blitzed or whether we don’t blitz, what we do throughout the game, you’ve got to sound football, you’ve got to make the plays, you can’t give up that much space, and you’ve got to get to that quarterback. If you don’t get to that quarterback, you’ve got to make tackles. And we didn’t do any of that stuff today. It’s not just because of a call here or there or a style. It’s because of everything.” The 49ers looked neither aggressive nor sound.
