Didn't Sanders play SS last year backing/replacing up Rodney? And Hawkins played FS backing up Wilson. Was the play of Wilson so bad this year that they needed to get Sanders on the field and converted him?

Wilson went on IR last year after getting injured at Buffalo. In the playoffs, with Harrison out, Sanders started at SS and Hawkins started at FS.

As for this season, I believe Wilson got dinged up against the Dolphins and missed most of the second half, and he was inactive against Washington the following week. But before the Dolphins game he started and played most of the snaps. Against Dallas, I was in the stands and I noticed that Harrison, Sanders, and Wilson were all out on the field together at the same time for the majority of the game and in fact Sanders was usually the FS.

it appears that Geno Wilson will be the only Defensive player that is unavailable for the Colts game. He was also missing last year in the AFCCG.

Actually the Jets defensive players designed a few blitzes this week and Mangini used them on passing downs. So yeah I can imagine it.

It all went downhill for him when he had that special teams injury in the superbowl. I think up until that point, he was on the BB fast track. I do believe he missed the second half of the Eagles game and I have never seen him as aggressive or effective since. Although I can not say myself, a lot of people said he never really knew what to do out there when Harrison was not in the game.....

Good article which hopefully will help stem the tide of evilness from the mediots. What I do not get is why the media does not ask the questions that work with Bill; i.e. get him to talk about the opponents strengths and then ask a second question around an intelligient way to neutralise one of them. I have seen him go from spending 3-4 minutes talking football with one reporter doing this to then spending the next 10 minutes giving 1 liners to idiotic platitudes from everyone else in the room. Maybe if they bothered to understand the person they were interviewing (what a novel concept), they would have more success gaining information.

As far as Merriwheather's progress; apart from (1st round) RBs, I do not think Bill likes to play rookies period. Does it happen; yes. But usually only due to injuries or towards the end of a season with a player that has really caught on. Especially on D, this is a team based on veteran savvy and so far there have been enough (uninjured) DBs in front of Merriweather to give him a good chance to learn this defence slowly.

Except for when they have concussions and don't want to practice.....
