boy oh boy kid....better learn how to tackle or you won't last long in this league. It was the same poor form, lead with your head nonsense that Mo Claiborne use to do when he got here.

Jacobs had a head of steam around left end with 5:00 to go in the 3rd qtr. and Wilcox not only led with his head but to compound matters led with the BACK of his head into BJ's knee. (love calling him "BJ" btw)..........darn shame, as I can see him being out for quite some time.

actually didn't he go for testing after a hit on an Andre Brown run up the gut? Brown went out for a while after that play too.

then Wilcox was back in the game later on.

or did he hit his head again later that i didn't see?

I'll have to look again on my DVR.....physical game for sure. I mean, Brown and Jacobs were getting to the second level with EASE. As big as they are lots of safeties would have problems stopping RB's that big. Like I said: Wilcox can NOT lead with his head like that on tackles...this isn't college anymore.

I remember thinking that it wasn't really a matter of him trying to lead with his head, he was just not in position to make the tackle in the first place and had to just kind of dive at Jacobs' thunder thighs. Its just one of those things that happens with that tub running the football.
