With David Wilson finishing his game Sunday on the bench for the second year in a row I wonder if there's a bonus that came along with the ball being stripped out of his hands. In both preseasons Wilson has played in he has looked explosive but when he get's held up he seems to have a glaring weakness, literally, his arms can't hold on to the ball when challenged. Is it possible that the Cowboys have ruined their division rivals 2012 first round pick or has the Ginats unknowingly picked a double agent who's soul purpose was to help the Cowboys win the season opener 2 years in a row?

I don't know about ruined. Didn't he go 130 touches since last fumble. He will earn the trust back and he does look like an explosive back.

Nope.

Coughlin has already said that he's not giving up on Wilson, and he shouldn't. Yes, he has a fumbling issue (my first thought when he fumbled Sunday night was the few fans here who questioned his deserved fumble prone label), but he's also an explosive runner, and fumbling problems can be corrected. The Giants have gone through this before, more than once, and each time they've fixed the problem, but not by giving up on the player.

Wilson will be fine, and he'll be back.

Agreed. There was this one Giants' RB who solved his fumbling problem and was a pain for us. Wilson deserves to be game planned in that offense. You don't dismiss that kind of talent. He could play on my team any day.

haha, I never do. Too hard to root against Dallas.

When he was the last starting RB left, I had to take him. Don't like it, but had too. He is the only East player I have besides Miles and Witten.

That's like saying Brandon Jacobs ruined Mike Jenkins!

Uumm... he kinda did. Jenkins never again got the respect from players or fans that he was building up to that point. The "business decision" has haunted him since that day.
