What happened to Donovan Wilson

[aikemirv]

He is a shell of the player he was just a couple years ago. He used to be an enforcer and always there to make a play. Now he is out of position and a liability. It is just a shame. Was one of my favorite players!

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

his time had barely arrived. being acceptable player at saftey...now he is cooked!

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

Quinn knew how to maximize his talent, and he left.

 

[IceStar-D7]

Yep...I'm ready to switch both out for the young guys.

 

[Carson]

He plays much better near the line. Hes more in coverage and having to think instead of react

We miss Jayron Keasre....he was the box safety this team is missing. Now they are asking Wilson to play that spot...and he's physically not the guy you want dropping down inside the box to make plays.

DL play is making everyone in the secondary look worse because no one is manning their gap. I think this is what Micah was referring to when he was talking about everyone wanting to be Superman. Mind your f:n gap assignment

 

[jwitten82]

Lol let's be real, he's been a JAG his whole career

 

[Hoofbite]

He’s still trying to find the WR that turned him around yesterday in the end zone

You can go back to his college days if you want, but the two places you should put Dono is in the box or surprisingly at single high...yet I prefer him as a robber. If you put Dono on the hash, good luck, and last week he was in Cover 2 on Shaheed deep ball TD...this week Bateman TD.

In the offseason, I questioned which Safeties fit Zimmer's scheme because I felt least comfortable with Dono in a 2 high look. Hooker n Thomas fit best. Lastly, with the run stopping woes Dono should be in the box anyway.

Yep, Wilson needs to be going downhill towards the line not away from it to be most effective. Put him in the box or covering the TE, not with his back to the ball trying to support the cb who got beat.

Yep, put him in a position to succeed.

 

[Mikexike]

At this point, I think you need to put juanyeh back there. We don't have an enforcer at the safety position.

Hooker looks sooooo slow out there.

 

[cald0d30s0]

Oh boy here we go again with having bad safeties…

 

[JohnsKey19]

Looks like he's guessing a lot just, either shooting random gaps or late to see play developing in front of him.

 

[Havic]

Making him play coverage instead of where he is at his best around the line of scrimmage

 

[stilltheguru]

Lol let's be real, he's been a JAG his whole career

If jag means top 30 safety consistently that's pretty good seeing as there are 64 starters. If you go off pff he's been top 20-30 from 2021-2023

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

He's the same player he has always been...

 

[Teague31]

I was all for trading him or Hooker in the offseason. They’ll both be gone next year.

I saw him on the LOS a few times and he sucked there also. Filling the wrong gaps.
