Wilber to be the starting SAM LB

[xwalker]

Broaddus says that Wilber will be the SAM with Holloman out.

It seems odd considering that Kyle Bosworth and Cameron Lawrence are available and Wilber has only had the 2 weeks during the bye to practice the position. Bosworth has started some NFL games in the past.

I think we need to use Church at the weak and Carter at the strong.

That's a good idea, if you enjoy getting run all over.

We're starting Wilbur because it's slated to be bad conditions for airing the ball and the Giants have found some success running, so they probably will be doing a lot of it. You put size on the field in hopes of combating that, I guess.

If we were playing a more pass orientated team, I might agree as far as moving Church up to Will.

Good point.

The Giants have some really big RBs:
Andre Brown 227
Michael Cox 220
Peyton Hillis 250
Brandon Jacobs 264

This does not seem like putting a player in a position to succeed but we have no other options I guess

We are screwed ..but hey Jerry is doing a great job as a GM

I don't know how well Wilber takes on the run but he was pretty good at Wake Forest.

Might as well forfeit......

He was on my pet cat list. But I've long since released him into a field far away from my home.

That is where Denver plays Miller...just saying.

Well maybe he's been playing out of position. I'm more concerned with him in coverage. Look for the Giants to try and exploit that.

We're at the point with Holloman out that I think this is what I'd prefer, too. Not a fan of Wilber backpedalling, and I'd rather the gash us with the run than with the pass.

I also don't respect that running game that much. Hopefully we can get up and make them pass protect against our press and we can stay in a nickel with that third safety getting snaps. Apparently, the we're practicing that in an open practice this week.

The thing is Wilber compromises us on the pass. If there is anyone that is in on tackles more than anyone it's Church. He attacks low so I don't see him being run over. I would see Heath being ran over since he tries to hit vs actually tackling. With Wilber on the field I could see some passes out short to his side and the short passing game will be utilized more with the strong winds coming in.

Yeah, blame Jerry for our absurd rash of injuries. That's fair.

No doubt.

Some of his best work, havn't you heard ?

LMAOOOOO

Agreed. It's his fault we've had to many injuries.

Wilber has played 3-4 OLB a couple of seasons. I'm no more worried about him making stupid mistakes than I am say with Sims.
