Balesteri is focusing on the real problem with the Patriot's pass defense, and what BB is and has been doing about it. It was illuminating to see some information about the end of roster players.
But I think he has a couple of things wrong. At this stage of his career Adrian Wilson is a elderly teacher with the resume, gravitas, and personality to command attention; and with his gargantuan size, a "Big Nickle" coverage LB, whose job is stopping the TEs, who can't simply out muscle or out jump him.
I notice that SB uses the current in vogue terms, but don't forget that Belichick has tried to field and innovate with his "Big Nickle", 5 man secondary, with a big "S/coverage LB" for more than a decade. AFAIK, the "Moneyball" is a sixth, or dime S and or coverage LB; and almost completely a LB. Adrian Wilson is the fit for that puzzle, in both cases, IMHO.
OTOH, Tavon Wilson's background, and reason he was drafted, makes him a bigger, faster, better, James Sanders-type Safety. Don't forget he played some Cornerback as well as Safety at Illinois, while still displaying the thinking head, and leadership that James Sanders displayed. He, not Adrian Wilson is slated to be and to play the full SS/FS position. He has the speed and coverage ability to also handle RBs out of the backfield.
Your opinions ?
