Adrian Wilson : When BB Calls, You Listen!

[DarrylStingley]

Wilson is a liar. He came here because of Brady, not Belichick. No one comes to New England because of Belichick. Just ask Greg Doyle.

And Greg can't even spell his name correctly. Who the hell would name themselves "Doyel"?

I'm sure if you're expecting Wilson to be the deep safety against someone like Mike Wallace, then he's going to disappoint you with his coverage abilities. But I doubt that's the kind of coverage he was brought in to provide.

In recent years, the Patriots have been burned for a lot of deep plays statistically, but those are typically measured as 20+ yard completions. Where I've seen the most of these plays given up were not over the top, but were on the sidelines in 1 on 1 coverage against a corner (which we're hoping Talib and Dennard can stabilize), and in the 10-15 yard gap in the middle of the field that seems to exist between our linebackers and our safeties.

Wilson's value will be in making that zone a more punishing place to do business. I don't expect him to shut down a lot of passing attacks, but if he can make a few receivers a little more timid, we may see more alligator arms on crucial third downs. That, and he should provide some much needed leadership and coordination for a young secondary.

Apparently Douche and Squeaky didn't hear about this as I heard when I listened today for a few minutes that because Adrian Wilson didn't sign for Ed Reed money it's likely he will have no impact because he isn't getting starter money, he is only depth and there is a good chance he ends up as a camp cut casualty like Fanene was.

I'm not sure if anyone called in and corrected them but it's pretty clear Wilson jumped at the chance to play for the Patriots and probably gave them a deal to come here.

-Also I guess they didn't get the memo that Fanene wasn't a normal camp cut casualty.
