Donovan Wilson practicing

[Nickyd2208]

Per KD Drummond, Donovan Wilson practiced yesterday but was somewhat limited. Safety help might be on the way!?

Hopefully this means Heath’s days as a starter are numbered.

Should be an excellent bench warmer for The Jeff Heath.

He will likely continue to be inactive. I doubt he will see serious playing time anytime soon unless an injury happens. Hill will likely start being active before Wilson. It’s just how Garrett does things.

It all depends on Wilson's role on special teams. That alone gives him a huge advantage over Hill who is going to have to make the roster on his ability to see defensive snaps in the game.

Wilson had two special teams tackles in the finale against Tampa Bay.

He hates putting rookies on the field sometimes..

He wouldnt get significant playing time over Heath

For good reason. But there are exceptions.

RB and players that can make a immediate impact there rookie year.

A lot of our current starters also started as rookies.

I would hold off on Wilson replacing Heath, as nice as that may be.

Wilson shined in the preseason, but mostly against scrubs.

He may eventually be Heath's replacement but it will take awhile. Might not even be this season.

You just stop now. Lol. Most of our O-Line were blue chip players and Elliot is Elliot. And Gallup was one of our only descent WR last year.

 

[Doomsday101]

Glad he has been able to practice and the more he shows in practice the better chance he will have to get his chance to play.

Heath, Woods, Awuzie and Jones all started games as rookies.

Exactly, Heath wasn't an issue on Sunday. If you like the "Splash Plays" metric Bob Sturm uses he was third on the defense with 2.5 splash plays behind DLaw and LVE.

 

[T-RO]

Get Donovan fully healthy...then give him a few starter reps

See how he does.

If Wilson is truly healthy, likely we cut Frazier, maybe Thompson.

Not just my opinion. Seemed to be the consensus with the team writers that Frazier only made the roster because of Wilson's injury.

 

[CooterBrown]

Here is a little bit of a downer for all the Heath haters: He is one of the team captains, there is no way a rookie is going to take his place on the field. Another favorite hate-target, Tyrone Crawford, is also a team captain. Wilson may eventually earn Heath's spot, but, barring injury, it won't be anytime soon.
