JJ Wilcox single handedly gave us a chance to win that game at the end there

It's ok..I expected responses like this. He's got talent.

I honestly would like to see our coaches try Church or Wilcox at LB. Make the Thomas David/Mark Barron move. Wilcox especially I think could be good making the switch.

"He's got talent" isn't a phrase you want from your 4th year starter. May as well say, "yeah, he doesn't play that well but given another 60 years to develop he could be something".

Of course he has talent, but it's not enough to warrant a spot in the 53. All he did we run really fast and lower his shoulder. What would you say if he did the same thing, but propelled the guy forward for the first down? It's poor tackling form and he ended up getting lucky.

Bro, it was a jump ball fade in the end zone. He actually has a ton of reads and responsibilities in that situation. I'm shocked he showed up when he did. Again, Brown had (literally) perfect coverage on the play. Sheppard just out played him. We've seen Dez do it a thousand times to other CBs. Our guy got beat doing his job as well as you could ever ask. Wilcox shouldn't even be a consideration on that play. Sometimes great players make great plays. Sheppard did that.
It looked like Brown was going to knock the ball out, but Wilcox came flying in for the big hit and knocked Brown out of the way so we'll never know.
