I would think with run heavy teams we will see less of him until he develops a little better in that area.
We were very very soft in the middle this game. Was it the players on the field or the play calling?
That is kinda where I was going with thread. WR and ends wide open where 41 usually is
Imagine Wilson has not been playing the run well. Then you throw him in there against King Henry.....
We weren't stopping the run yesterday for the most part with who we had in there as it was......
Really? This is an example of where perception can sometimes not match reality. The box score says that the Steelers defense held Washington to a total of 60 yards rushing. So, the guys we had in there actually did stop the run yesterday.
I don't know if Wilson's play would have resulted with a lose for us if he had more snaps. Our run D was very suspect yesterday at times. Would/could it have been worse with Wilson playing more snaps? In the end we won by mere inches. A win is a win though. Bring on the Ravens now!!!!!
Weird. I just checked the box score and saw the same thing. Seems at times we got gashed. Danials at times walked all over us. We couldn't stop their O. Looking at the stats though I wouldn't have thought we were down 10 in the 2nd half. That is the funny thing about stats. They don't tell the entire story at times. Washington seemed to play at the end not to lose the game at one point. In the end the refs gave us a spot of inches that gave is the win. I believe it was the right call. We came out with a tough gritty win on the road against a good Washington team. Props to everyone....coaches and players. We still can clean a bunch up in a lot of areas though.
Agreed. My point was simply that if they believe Wilson is not playing the run correctly, why would they put him out there against teams that run the ball well? The guys that they had out there yesterday held a team that has been pretty good at running the ball to a total of 60 yards. Not their fault that the head coach had a brain fart that practically gave the Commanders 7 points.
Because our pass defense sucks over the middle. Give and take type of thing. We got killed over the middle all game. We were lucky they came up an inch short on their last pass on fourth down. Refs very easily could have spotted the ball a few inches the other way. Hey. We won. Props.
I actually would have preferred Wilson against a team heavy in the pass. But against the rats yeah he can be Mr. Limited.
When you have 33% less interior DL you are always soft in the middle, it allows BOTH DL to be doubled and move them to create creases.
Seemed like they were playing contain with OLBs and not getting too far up field
