What are doing trying to dance with some other dudes massive penis in your pants? Pretty gay that.

Shut up, you know you want it.

Right.

At $8 million I don't think anyone's eager to grab him.

But at less than we tendered Jack ****ing Cochran for? Why the hell isn't he already here?

He's an NFL player and a top 5% athlete for his position. He's nothing resembling a perfect player, but he has a role.

Willie Gay on the cheap is a totally great pickup.

Wilson's plateau is among the best coverage LBs in the NFL and a 120-to-130-tackle player, not a scrub backup that can't see the field after 5 years. Injuries derailed him last year but you're grossly understating how monumental that gap is between the two, and always has been the case.

Gay was a shit pick then, and I took my downvote lumps to make the point, and he remains a shit pick now.

He's a knucklehead. But he's a FAST knucklehead that hits like a freight train, and on the cheap would be a great pickup. Where he was drafted and who else was available at the time is not relevant.

The mental aspect is the main reason he didn't get re-signed. What makes you think that Spags would want him back? I mean, I get it if it's a special team signing primarily but that means he'd need to sign a VSB deal and I don't know that he will see himself as that.

I think he's signing with Miami anyhow so it will be moot.

He wasn't great in coverage in 2023 though.

Was it a plateau or just a career year?

I think that remains an open question.

He was great in 2023. I went back and looked at stats just to make sure I wasn't thinking unclearly and he gave up 75% completion, had 9 PDs and 4 Ints to go with 135 tackles. That's about as good as it gets for a cover LB. He fell off this year in 2024, largely due to being dinged up.

Hell, Wilson's 2022 and 2023 encompasses all of what Gay has accomplished in 5 years and then some.

Even if you want to argue that that is his plateau, it exceeds Gay's production by two-fold. It's really not an argument.

Wouldn't a 75% completion rate with that many tackles (and PDs/INTs) indicate he was being targeted?

I'm seeing 62 receptions on 77 targets (80%) for 11.2 yards/rec and 4 TDs given up for a passer rating against over 100 in 2023.

Pretty similar numbers in 2022 w/ 66 receptions on 82 targets for 9.5 yards/reception and a 101.7 passer rating against (largely because he had fewer interceptions).

Meanwhile Bolton gave up 52 receptions on 67 targets this year (8.9/reception at 77% completion), 2 TDs and an INT for a passer rating against at 99.2. Really similar figures and we MURDER him for being bad in coverage.

For his career Wilson has given up an 80.9% catch rate (237 receptions on 293 targets) at 10 yards/reception (2,364 on 237 catches) and a total passer rating against at 95.7.

That's...okay. Bolton gets excoriated for years like that, though.

And I suspect different sources all have slightly different data given that it's really hard to know what a LB is ultimately responsible for an if it was 'his' catch surrendered. But when you see a Will 'backer with that many tackles, I don't typically think of that as a great sign and some of the numbers under the hood would support that.

He’s a Dolphin now.

He can walk off the face of the universe, and most importantly, I never wanted him back at all.

Warner, by contrast, in his best years has a rec% in the high 60s to mid 70s. Passer ratings in the low to mid 80s.

To my eyes his best year in coverage was 2020 -- 44 receptions on 61 targets, 7.5 yards/reception and a passer rating against of 81.9. Warner's who I think of when I think of a premium coverage 'backer and seasons like that are why. Wilson...man, I just can't get there. He's fine but not at that level.

He ****ing sucks!

Doesn't Miami use mostly odd fronts? Interesting -- I wonder if that'll help him.

I never liked that vacuum throwing POS!!!

We both know that comparing Wilson in coverage to Bolton in coverage is foolish DJ. Completely different responsibilities, especially man assignments on TEs and slots, at different positions.
