memo to the david wilson haters

[GMAN2K9]

Ehh, we all new he was really good on KR's. the difference today being no flags on any kicks. His garbage time TD, while nice, doesn't have me calling him the savior by any means. We still need Bradshaw. Don't be misled by the all purpose yardage record. His time will come, but he is not ready to be the every down RB until they are positive he can make all the blocks and knows his assignments.

Bradshaw plus Wilson could be a killer combo going forward. I am excited.

PS: Bradshaw missed a blocking assignment and when he realized it, the result was a holding penalty. Good players still make mistakes including AB, JPP, and Eli

The one disappointing thing was that they didn't get Wilson to block (at least not that I saw).

lets put thing into perspective the saints are a horrible defense and last in the lead, you would expect Wilson to have a big game.

Yes lets put things into perspective.

This is the most all purpose yards ever by a Giant, an organization with a pretty strong history of all purpose players: Gifford, Meggett, Barber just to name a few.

All we hear about is Doug Martin and how close we were to getting him. I agree he is a damn fine player, but this Saints defense held him to 85 yards.

Why cant you let people be excited about a young talent without trying to poo all over it? Are you even a fan? Do you not get excited when young players do historical things?

I saw him blocking a bit...it's definitely not his strong point.

But defenses need to account for him now......that's going to open up everything else.

I am happy for Wilson. Its not hate....people were going impatient. Its easier to grow impatient when Doug Martin and Alfred Morris is running for 1100yards. Hate is when you want the guy to fail....my case was being impatient. I hope he continues to do well and hopefully this is the one game that will give him confident. Also the Saints kick coverage is atrocious, Wilson was almost untouched every kick return running into the kicker.

You and skip bayless must be drinking buddies. Lol

I love these threads...Until this game, how could anyone love or "hate" him? He has not really played more than a few plays (other than pre-season). Let's givea few games before making any decisions on him.

I would love to see all of you Wilson "lovers" credentials as NFL scouts. Were you grading him during his practices?

Personally, I thought he has been underused all season long today. First player in NFL history with 200 return yards and 100 yards rushing in a game. You're welcome

[ashleymarie]

Dump him or we will begin to depend on him.

[GiantWarfare]

Lmao, he sure is. The guy is fast.

I would like to know if he is as fast as McCoy.

He's faster than McCoy. But McCoy is ridiculously shifty and elusive.

Don't get me wrong I think he is gonna be a real good back. But I am not on the bandwagon yet. 200+ return yards does not make him a good back. It makes him a real good returner, which we kind of already knew. Today the KR team finally didn't get flagged for holding. Aside from the big run at the end of the game, his day was pretty average for a RB. My one real concern is if they had to limit the offensive playbook because he was in the game. I look forward to seeing more of him sharing time with AB, but I do think AB is still the guy that this offense needs right now, even if he is not nearly as dangerous as Wilson is with the ball.
