Steve Wilks spent plenty of time in his first offseason as defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers designing a scheme that can take advantage of the immense talent of edge rusher Nick Bosa.
Now that Bosa's lengthy holdout is over and he is back with the team, Wilks finally gets the chance to put some of those plans into action.agreeing to a record-setting contract extension the previous day"Excited, number one, that he's back in the building. We all know that he makes us a better football team, not just a better defense," Wilks said."Business as usual as regards for his preparation, but we understands he brings a bit more to the game plan.
"It's hard to say," Wilks said."Each player is different. I say that in a meaningful way. He's different. I'm not really trying to put a limit on what he can do. I'm just trying to get a feel and once we get that info we can go from there." Getting the deal done in time for Bosa to play this week provides a big boost for a team that comes into the season with championship aspirations and doesn't need to contemplate the worst-case scenario with Bosa.
In Bosa's three healthy seasons, San Francisco ranks third in points allowed, second in yards per play allowed, fourth in sacks and tied for sixth in takeaways.
