There might be a pattern with Steve Wilks’ decisions

Thursday, during Richard Sherman’s podcast, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir didn’t understand why his assignment from Steve Wilks was the way it was during the Super Bowl. Lenoir doesn’t question his coaches so after making his case, he followed along.

David Lombardi at the Athletic brought up some good context that Ambry Thomas had been at outside cornerback and Lenoir was playing slot leading up to the Super Bowl. Then Thomas didn’t make it to the Super Bowl and Lenoir was brought outside. Logan Ryan went slot, allowing 5 catches on 7 targets.
