    I think he's a guy a lot of people wanted to see take the next step and become a starter. Not that starting matters, it's snap count. So maybe I should say a guy many wanted to see develop into an expanded role.

    Hopefully he can capitalize.

    Relative to what Jimmy Wilson was displaying I agree with the move..

    I'm excited to see what he has to offer..

    Jimmy disappointed me when he tried to shoulder tackle Watkins, like he tried to do with Evans in the TB game. Jimmy needs to learn, especially when the person you're attempting to tackle is bigger and stronger, go low. Wrap up. Low man wins in football. Leverage, Jimmy, leverage.

    Yeah man, just go Low dude, he had the angle and everything, he literally bounced off his upper body at full speed like Sammy was made of water, I don't even know what he was attempting to do..I'm sorry he might be able to play some center field but I don't want my safety tackling like that..quite frankly it was unacceptable.

    The big question is do we really want to take Davis off the field for him at nickel?

    Will is better at man coverage, so if you asked me, no. Wilson can be the dime back maybe.

    To this day, I still don't know who this guy is.


    I keep having to call Tom Brady to refresh my memory.

    The thing about Thomas is some folks forget that thee play last year wasn't the int, there was a more impressive one and an upfield tackle that on another that was impressive, he was all over the field like a chicken.

    I'm just excited for some fresh blood.

    Yeah, that is 1968's sig pic. He raked the ball out of the receiver's hands on what would have otherwise been a sure catch.

    Lets see what he can do. The guy is a competitor. I'm warming up to Will Davis.
