Since when was Geno afraid to "lay the wood". The last two games he played in were limited time against Buffalo and Denver before he got injured in both. The play I can remember against Denver was when he layed a great hit on one of the Broncos recievers and it should have been a fumble not incomplete. I cant remember if Wilson has been playing soft this year that was many weeks ago but over the years Wilson has been one of the hardest hitting players on the defense.How do I think that Samuel would make a better Free Safety than Wilson? That's easy. Samuel likes to lay the wood and many have mentioned he is better in the slot than out on the edge. Yes, he's had some good games, but over-all, I don't see him as anything more than a #2/#3 CB. He's definitely not in the Ty Law or Patrick Surtain category of Cornerback.
Wilson has been somewhat fragile back at free safety and, as I said, seems to have become somewhat gunshy. We need a free safety who isn't afraid to hit people. And Samuel isn't.
Maybe if Wilson comes back and shows that he isn't gunshy anymore, I will change my opinion, but not until then.
