I see wilcox is making plays. I really hope there is some glimmer of hope at safety.

Don't get sucked in. He's still a rookie with from a D1-AA school with very little experience at that position since he's a converted RB.

Yeah I know, but distilled down to its basic form I'd feel better about an athlete like Wilcox back there than Mat "whitebread" Johnson. I've seen Reed doughty play, and he sucks.

Whitebread is an athlete.

40: 4.5
Vertical: 38
Shuttle: 4.08
3 cone: 6.84
Broad jump: 10'
Bench: 18 reps

All numbers superior to Wilcox except for broad jump.

You have to distill it down to it's basic form.

I agree with you there, but at the same time this isn't a Pete Hunter that no one knew about. Wilcox is a safety we all knew about, he played in the Senior Bowl against the best college talent and he showed extremely well. I know that it is only the Senior Bowl, but a lot of teams put a lot of emphasis on those practices. The Tampa Cover Two isn't the most complex system for safeties. In fact it is fairly simple because they run the same zone coverage almost the entire time.

White and Athlete can't be used in the same sentence. It's not proper grammar.

Well what do you say about a white player that has just too much moxie? At that point, he becomes an athlete.

Berry-O 2.0 is one.

Yeah, don't forget to put his world record for exploding Hammies on his state tree there, bro. You keep the faith in whitebread all you want. I'm rooting for Wilcox. I think he's a player.

 

[Carp]

You did say he might be the greatest safety prospect in the history of recorded time, so I see you working for Wilcox.

No, I said he's the best prospect we've drafted in years, and I believe that. I think he and chuch at safety would be our best bet.

 

[Carp]

I don't...you basically have 2 SS's in that alignment. IMO a FS should serve as a 3rd CB in the base defense...neither Wilcox or Church can do that. That is why this team needs Matt Johnson to step up so badly.

I just meant thay are probably the best two players we have at safety. Might as well play em. Unless you want old ass will Allen starting. I'd prefer to think of him as quality depth, but what do I know.

 

[Carp]

I don't think Wilcox is the 2nd best S on the roster now. He has potential, but he still has a long way to go. Honestly, McCray is probably better suited to start right now and he was horrid.

Holy shit how can you even say that? There is no way in hell Wilcox is worse than McCray. Right now. You know it too.

 

[Carp]

How can you say he is better? He played the position for one year at Georgia Southern. I don't know it...I know you like the player, but you are just saying shit and hoping it is true. Outside of watching his highlight tape there is nothing you can tell me about the player. You are a homer, I can relate, but Wilcox has done diddly shit for you to be jerking off about him.

Hey. Douchebag. I'm not going all crazy about Wilcox, but I can damn sure tell when a player is superior to another when the player is McCray. Wilcox is a better option on sheer athleticism. I know he's only player one year, but he looks a hell of a lot more seasoned than that. Calm down.

 

[Carp]

Uh oh...you appear to be getting upset. Despite calling me a douche bag I am still unconvinced Wilcox is ready to start. Even his position coach says he is "light years" from starting. But hey, Lotuseater has this shit locked down...props for being ahead of the curve.

 

[Cujo]

No one knows that yet. I certainly hope he is but how often do these things work out for us?
