It's early but having Neal makes the Wilson situation minor for me, plus they have another vet in Kearse.
Would really like for Wilson to have a full camp as the starting SS, so if he has to take time to get healthy now I'm all for it.

Wilson hits like Tyson did in his prime. We need him.

true true,, the situation at safety is no longer a situation of having basically nada,, now its only a situation of fans unfamiliarity with the group.

Thanks for posting the vid.
It's not good to hear he's got a hurt knee. It's even worse to hear he hasn't been around much this off season. But, it's still very early so we'll have to play the wait and see game. I sure hope he turns it on come training camp. If not there are plenty of new guys back there looking for a spot.

I've thought with us drafting two linebackers in the first four rounds that it's a possibility that Neal ends up at strong safety some anyway. I think it could be the former first-round pick who's out there on early downs with Wilson brought in at SS and Neal moved to linebacker when we go to pass defense.

He has plenty of time to get back in the mix, I liked what I saw as well and he should not be dismissed just because the room got a bit crowded all of a sudden,,,
thank about that fans,,, this back seven room got a bit tight,, I have to keep myself so restrained to keep from throwing up multiple emojis

If I'm a sixth round pick from Louisiana I wouldn't move to Dallas. There's no security in being a sixth round pick and the coaches haven't exactly handed this guy a full time role.
So why waste the time and money to move to Dallas when you might not have a future there. So if he wants to be smart with his money then let him.

All kidding aside.. Donovan Wilson has been hyped (or hoped) to fill one of our estranged safety positions.. and last year he showed some promise, dare I say, flashes that he could be a starter. But let’s not let one of the few bright spots on last years horrible defense blind us from the truth.
The truth is.. he’s a box safety that can lay the wood. He also had a couple opportunistic INTs last year. Hey, that’s great and all.. but it was well documented and actually discussed a few times on DC.com podcast that his coverage skills had holes. Gaping holes. So.. as much as I like the big hits and a few timely Ints.. he still has a lot to prove. Unfortunately, the knee injury/swelling is doing him no favors.
New DC in town and Wilson needs to prove himself all over again..and that’s not a bad thing. Add some Dan Quinn specials like Mukuamu, Kearse, Neal(yes, he will play LB, but look like a SS at times)and even UDFA Tyler Coyle.. Wilson has some strong competition. I suppose my point is.. I’m not penciling him in as a starter just yet. He’ll have to earn it.. as he should.

I'm happy for Israel getting a second chance as a safety. It was tough watching him break down after telling Jerry he's got the best corner coming in and those words making him realize that he is a cornerback.

I'm more mad at our education system for having to read that comment.

Yeah so....Wilson's knee injury? That besides the point of this thread. That's not what Broaddus is talking about. If you've followed the NFL for more than five minutes you should know players get treatment for injuries at the team facilities. So even if he had an injury this entire offseason, and he didn't, he still should have been there.
Listen to what Broaddus says. Form your own conclusion.

Wilson is so good already, he doesn’t need practice.
See you at Oxnard Donovan.

One of the podcasts touched on something that some of us often lose sight of when discussing these guys' offseason participation. Namely for a guy like Wilson, who was not a high draft pick, he aint swimmin in money so flying back and forth to Dallas and getting a place to stay all on his own dime might not be that easy. Wasn't he one of those guys who got hit with one of those stupid fines that was like half his salary last year? If so the kid might just rather save his pennies for mandatory stuff as opposed blowing $500 - $1000 flying into Dallas and putting himself up anywhere near the Star for a week. All that said, I hope the kid is okay. He was far and away the #1 playmaker on our defense last year.. and we are hardly in a position to be casting playmakers aside on that side of the ball.
