Steve Wilks is saying all the right things—-unfortunately for him and the hapless Cardinals’ players saying the right things and then doing the opposite is not a formula for winning in the NFL.
Wilks: “We need to disguise our pass coverages better.”
First of all, few defenses are ever going to trick Philip Rivers—-that guy has seen it all.
To beat Rivers you have to pin your ears back and rush him relentlessly. His is immobile, so that makes it all the easier to play a strict diet of sticky man-to-man coverage against him and his receivers.
