NE has also had nickle LB coverage deficiencies for years.
Your entire post was excellent and accurate. This statement I quoted stands out most though, I think you hit the nail on the head. I think his size and coverage skills will be a tremendous asset in a hybrid LB role. Arizona from what I understand did not use a money safety or a lot of dime sets in general. They kept 2 LB on the field most of the time and also played in a division made up of run first teams.
I also think Wilson's reduced role had a lot to do with Arizona building for the future and wanting to develop their younger DB's, knowing that Wilson wasn't going to be there moving forward.
