Somebody showed me that stats of the run defenses that Wilkinson's teams had with him in the lineup and without him (i.e. injury, or the year after he left the team). It surprised me, but he had a tremendous, positive impact on a team's run defense. Problem is he doesn't fit into Rod Marinelli's defensive scheme (neither does Shaun Rogers and I wouldn't be surprised to see them release him as soon as his contract is cap-friendly) and he's pretty old. For Dallas he really doesn't work because he's a 4-3, 2 gapper. Plus, if they stay healthy, I like what we have with Ferguson, Pepper, and Stanley.
