Donovan Wilson is a monster

[darthseinfeld]

How long is Kearse out ?

Not sure. However both will be on the field when Kearse is healthy.

 

[CATCH17]

Cowboys defense is for real.

I was really impressed with Daniel Jones last night. He handled that pressure about as well as you could.

 

[GINeric]

Wilson is your answer to Jalen Hurts. That spy roll he played against Jones is the recipe.

I don't know.... Jones got away from him like twice.... Hurts will break ankles out there.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Jones wheels were about my biggest concern this defense would face tonight. Glad we adjusted.

He’s so weird when he runs he looks like he’s gonna stumble and fall but by that time he’s off for 13 yards. Very underrated runner.

 

[MyFairLady]

Always liked Wilson. Fantastic player with a fantastic attitude on a fantastic contract. The type of guy that pushes teams up the ladder for sure.

Probably one of his better games. They lost but he was Josh Allen lite out there I feel like. Sometimes the defense just has you and last night they had him.

 

[Zekeats]

Donovan Wilson was all over the place tonight.

When he's out there and in attack mode he always is. I never seen a 4.6+ guy who always looks faster than everyone around him. His 5 yard burst is INSANE.

No one actually knows Wilsons 40 time. He never ran it. His was a slot CB at A&M (Soph year I believe), so Id be surprised if it was worse than 4.55

 

[quickccc]

When he’s healthy, he’s hands down the best safety on the team.

so jevon kearse has lost his starting job ..?

Enjoy Donovan Wilson now ... as he'll be an Unrestricted FA in the offseason, and Stephen ain't re-signing him to a big contract.

Some NFL teams are already licking their chops in likely pursuing him.

Sorry seen numbers that said well over 4.6

He’s always made plays. His closing burst is one of the best in the game

Wilson needs to stay at SS when Kearse gets back, his nose for ball and hostility when he gets there is infectious.

Kearse should play LB. Which is role in Big Nickel anyway.

Having both guys on field at same time as often as possible is a plus.

Ive seen it at like 4.8. But that is bunk. He has never ran it

Kearse cannot be your starting LB, ..that's for LVE and Barr, you have to have bigger muscle vs the run than a mere box safety ..
A box safety is an added " mini' -LB, but you want to have your front line guys first.

Quinn employs 3 safeties as a number of NFL teams do as well. but its' a win some/lose some risk thing though,

and i dunno if either are FS types that can be further away from the line and center fielding as Malik Hooker, both Kearse and Wilson are at their
most effective the closer they are to the line.
Who is the most consistent of the two ... which are more reliable in being in the right position, making the right signal calls, placing other players in position,
makes the consistent open field tackling and coverage grades

I felt like Kearse could have been expendable but they did say he called the defensive plays most of the time which woulda been one reason to keep him. Also wasn't sure they were gonna resign Hooker and they did. I love Wilson, Hooker and Makuamamamamamama even before the preseason so Kearse was expendable but having said that the contract wasn't that bad anyways so we are really deep at saftey for the first time in a long time.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Hes not better than Jayrock

I disagree. Kearse is as big as Cox, both 6'4 230-ish.

But never mind size, it's his physicality that matters more.

Kearse has better run stopping grades than LVE because even though he's smaller than LVE, he is more physical and aggressive at POA and is better at stacking and shedding to make the tackle.

And Kearse is not just the vocal leader of defense, but DQ expects him to be the coach on the field. It's why Kearse wears the green dot.

Plus Kearse is better in man coverage than LVE and even reading and reaction in coverages.

If Cowboys want to play best 11 on defense then need to play Kearse. Absolute no brainer.

In fact, Kearse is the OLB/SS hybrid that everyone hopes Cox can one day become.

And FYI - playing Kearse at one OLB spot should have no effect on Barr's play time. Only LVE's.

I think he is faster than 4.6. He plays as if its 4.4. I'm not sure if he even ran a 40 time.

 

[doomsday808]

He is all over the yard making tackles. Very under the radar player playing on the same squad as Parsons, DLaw and Diggs. His past 2 games were some of the best safety play I've seen in a while.

 

[Beaker42]

The penalty was dumb. He didn't miss many tackles.

What was the penalty - a PF?
