You know I remember when we drafted Wilson we envisioned this kind of play. Another variable for defenses to account for. Someone to punish them with when they double-team Tony. Great stuff.

Wilson's lead block and Waters' pull were the two key blocks for LJ's 40+ yard run last Sunday.

I like the H-back role. Mr. Iowanian has it exactly right. Wilson puts palpable pressure on the enemy defense through his ability to motion out of the backfield opening opportunities for both LJ and the pass.

I've noticed that his blocking is good, but not great. But, almost all our blockers are giving up on their blocks a tad too early. On numerous occasions this year, LJ would have broken a long off-tackle or run off the edge had his blockers held their blocks for a split second longer. Herm needs to work on that.

Yep. Someone has that in their sig; I can't stop watching.

He is doing a good job when they bring him out of the backfield or motion him out, which should continue to give him good matchups, or free up Gonzalez by pulling the safety over....

Its good stuff.

That was my thought line as well, Jordan Black stepping up at left tackle has been huge for us. While Wilson is doing better as a FB then he is at TE, seeing the field during the game alone is an improvement for this guy.

How has his blocking been?

I haven't really noticed it. Has he been blocking well?

Don't forget Jason Dunn.

Scroll up on this thread. Someone has LJ's 40 yard run vs. the Rams. Wilson makes the outside block on the corner that springs LJ. That play is blocked perfectly. The hole is exactly where its drawn up on the board.

Those clowns were pretty painful to listen to. A couple of times I thought I could hear them shuffling through the rosters trying to find a name...

Yeah, Wilson's been a nice surprise at FB.

He spends most of his snaps inside as a conventional FB/H-back, but on a few plays he slides way outside(on his TDs) and creates a mismatch with a LB.

Nice work by Solari.

It's cool to see this thread. After people hammering this guy for the last few years, it's good to see him used and what he can do.
