will there be a Nzeocha sighting? I was hoping to see him some this season.

Was thinking the same thing... Guy has been a healthy scratch for weeks. That concerns me. A lot. We are very thin at LBer, so if he was lighting it up in practice you'd think he could crack a ST unit at least.

Anyway-- I hope Durant's injury is minor and we find some help at LBer. If that's Nzeocha-- I'd be ecstatic.

Yea wonder why he hasn't gotten any chances? He played so well in preseason, and then the injury. I can't imagine he is still hurt or just not that good?

Man, sure hope JD isn't out. I think he's been playing GREAT. Dude is bringing it week in and week out IMO.

He's been doing ok for what he is. A LB with more speed and better coverage skills would be a better fit. Someone who can't be exposed on crossing routes like Durant can in coverage.

If Durant is out expect Wilson to replace him in the nickel and Nze to be active.

Wilson appears to be emerging as an improving young player. He played a lot of nickel yesterday in place of Durant and appeared to do a solid job. Very positive sign there.
No doubt..........loved his reaction time to the 1st on-sides kick---"gobbled it up" very instinctively. Even Zeke didn't have the same reaction time on the 2nd on-side kick

Wilson also had the big hit on fat boy--met him behind los and drove him back. A step up on the strong side for sure

Wilson played well yesterday. These coaches are doing a very good job coaching up this defense, particularly the defensive backs. When everyone is healthy we are a decent defense outside of defensive end, which sort of appears to be a bit of a black hole.

I guess we need to hire a consultant to scout defensive ends for us and then hire us a good defensive ends coach. We really need to fix that problem next year.
