Against Tampa I'm fairly sure that Wilson was playing deeper at safety with Kearse more in the box, but over these last two games with Kearse out Hooker has been the deep/centerfield type safety with Wilson more involved in the box.
In that role he's been a missile, blowing up WR's over the middle, pressuring QB's, just generally playing great. He has 1 INT, 2 TFL, 3 QB hits and a sack, plus 2 PD's in just 3 games.
I'm sure Quinn can figure out how to get them in the right spots but I wonder if we aren't better served with Hooker deep, Wilson in the box and Kearse playing as a pseudo-LB.
Either way, I've been saying it for a few weeks, we should be looking hard at trying to extend Wilson for cheap right now because if he keeps playing like this his value is going to soar.
Just amazing the safety play we're getting under Quinn.
If the front can keep getting the pressure they have been, the INTs should pile up.
