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.
Sherman said for Lenoir to go over Wilks’ head next time and go to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.
