This is not unique among safeties. When safeties average around 220, 6'2" and TEs average 260#, 6'5" you're going to have a mismatch. LBs should cover TE's close to the line. TEs that can break it downfield usually catch a bunch of passes no matter who is covering them.SeanBruschi54 said:Wison was a stellar corner in college he's just adjusted it to the safety position. I agree with that. He great against slot receivers but sometimes struggles against TE's.
I understand that but the thing is Wilson gets beat by the bigger name guys like Gates and Crumpler more than the regular TE's.spacecrime said:This is not unique among safeties.

IMHO the pass to the TE is underutilized as an nfl play. theere's almost always a mismatch when the TE's covered by a DB. 2 issues: one: these days LBs are so dang fast that TEs can't get separation. two: throwing up the middle of the field is risky for receivers, and for interceptions. in patriots D, bruschi hangs out and ballhawks passes up the middle.spacecrime said:This is not unique among safeties.

Keegs said:well is there a link providing a list, or did the guy just say Wilson was the best and thats it?
I'd like to see where he ranked the other safeties in the league.
