I really thought that Wilson would be ready to get back on the field after the bye-week.
That ankle injury must be VERY severe.

My man Wilson is not having a good contract year, is he?
His value in FA has droped given his lack of PT and history of in-season rehab missing game after game. Too bad because he started out like wildfire his 1st couple seasons here.

Geno Wilson has been pretty mediocre since having terrific rookie and sophomore seasons in 2003 and 2004. This is maddening.

The 12th Man

No kidding. To be honest, I don't even remember HOW he hurt the ankle. I remember him being replace by Sanders, but nowhere did it show him limping badly or anything like that as far as I can remember. Is it possible the injury happened during practice? It would be nice to have Geno back, if not to start right away, but at least for depth and injury insurance. Also, Mitchell would be a nice addition to our ALREADY great special teams and would only be better. I know, scary. Maybe BB is just taking it extra safe with those guys since to get them 100%. It could be one of those situations that if it was a playoff game, they'd play. Who knows, but just hope they are back soon. All three.

That's a bummer!

How will our opponents adjust for the lack of big plays his absence will create.

The sky is falling! So much for my hopes of 16-0.

Seriously, I think James Sanders has surpassed Eugene Wilson. Perhaps the two players don't match in terms of raw talent, but Sanders in more in synch with the rest of the defense and has been the better tackler of the two.

The good news is depth. At this point, I'd say we have no doubt a viable full time starter in Sanders. There's no need to replace him unless the opportunity for a major upgrade presents itself. With 2 straight poor and/or injury plagues, Wilson has totally de-valued himself, and may be an easy re-sign at little cap cost.

Well, if we were planning on re-signing him, looks like the front office would have the upper hand in negotiations.

Eugene 'Made Of Glass' Wilson


Hope he enjoys his new team next year,The Patriots will probably not retain his services.

I've just about convinced myself along those lines.

In years past ... and even with Dave Thomas this season
... BB has a quick trigger finger on that IR button.
If any of these 3 were SERIOUS ... i'd have expected to hear a pistol shot.
