He's never really had excellent vision though going back to his days at VT. I'll say this much to be fair and that is I've seen him do a good job on not dancing in the backfield too much compared to how much he did it back in college since he could get away with it against those defenses.Originally Posted by Rusty192

He looked really good in the preseason when he was featured. I encourage people to go and watch those games.
We have to let the guy get into a rhythm. Right now he's averaging 2 carries a game. Plus the defense knows he's getting the ball basically every time.
He did have a nice game against the Bears in the preseason but I haven't really been too impressed with him outside of that. There has been a few carries where he has run into the back of our own linemen and that is an issue of vision.
We do need to utilize him more on PA passes though since when we did it once against the Redskins, the safeties bit on the run. Unfortunately, we weren't able to connect on the pass.

I don't see this has a year where fans are going to be impressed by Wilson. He never is played. So what tiny bit they see, they make a snap judgment.
Hopefully next season he'll get some serious playing time with Bradshaw getting older.
Ok, out of curiosity I went through and looked at the rookie season of every running back drafted in the first round since 2004.
Excluding the players who suffered injury-shortened seasons, David Wilson is currently on pace to be the most under-utilised 1st-round running back drafted through that period.
att = rushing attempts
games = games played
So basically, no, the Giants' treatment of Wilson is not normal.Code:Steven Jackson 134 att 3 starts 14 games 673 yds 4 TDs Chris Perry 2 att 0 starts 2 games 1 yd Kevin Jones 241 att 14 starts 15 games 1133 yds 5 TDs Ronnie Brown 207 att 14 starts 15 games 904 yds 4 TDs Cedric Benson 67 att 1 start 9 games 272 yds Cadillac Williams 290 att 14 starts 14 games 1178 yds 6 TDs Reggie Bush 155 att 8 starts 16 games 565 yds 6 TDs Laurence Maroney 175 att 0 starts 14 games 745 yds 6 TDs DeAngelo Williams 121 att 2 starts 13 game 501 yds 1 TD Joseph Addai 226 att 0 starts 16 games 1081 yds 7 TDs Adrian Peterson 238 att 9 starts 14 games 1341 yds 12 TDs Marshawn Lynch 280 att 13 starts 13 games 1115 yds 7 TDs Darren McFadden 113 att 5 starts 13 games 499 yds 4 TDs Jonathan Stewart 184 att 0 starts 16 games 836 yds 10 TDs Felix Jones 30 att 0 starts 6 games 266 yds 3 TDs Rashard Mendenhall 19 att 1 start 4 games 58 yds Chris Johnson 251 att 14 starts 15 games 1228 yds 9 TDs Knowshon Moreno 247 att 9 starts 16 games 947 yds 7 TDs Donald Brown 78 att 1 start 11 games 281 yds 3 TDs Beanie Wells 176 att 0 starts 16 games 793 yds 7 TDs CJ Spiller 74 att 1 start 14 games 283 yds Jahvid Best 171 att 9 starts 14 games 555 yds 4 TDs Mark Ingram 122 att 4 starts 10 games 474 yds 5 TDs Trent Richardson 229 att 12 starts 12 games 827 yds 7 TDs Doug Martin 236 att 12 starts 12 games 1106 yds 9 TDs David Wilson 28 att 0 starts 12 games 111 yds 1 TD
OK
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!
you should be less impressed with the coaching staffs use of wilson,,they are not playing to his strengths,,,,we need to use him like Philly uses shady,,,screen passes and more misdirection,,let him use his speed and elusiveness in the open field..this kid is not a hand it off up the middle guy, plain and simple. plus 4 carries? I dont care who is evaluating him, you can not evaluate on such a microscopic body of work. this kid will be tiki barber 2.0 when it is all said and done..I can feel it.
It's normal for the Giants

not the kids fault the coaching staff just does not play rookies like that,,never have. you guys need to relax,,if we were 9-3 nobody would even be talking about him like this,,it's just one more than to b*tch about. the entire team should be ashamed.
roanoke,,you are one of the more knowledgable posters on this board, you get it,,,,,some people will just never be happy.
