My thinking on this, is the CS is playing it safe, going with experience. One of the things that Beli has done so well, is put young guys on the field and lived with it. Lets be honest...If we stuck KDub in the nickel and LIVED with it....would we be any worse off, or better off? I admire Coleman and his sticktoitiveness, but lets face it...he couldn't cover the ground if he fell on it.
In my opinoin, the entire game hinges on how we defend the two TE set - i mean it's really just version 2.0 of Gibbs v. Buddy. Frankly, I'm not sure how I'd do it - I'd probaly play every down like its a run down and engage everyone at the line.
How awesome is it that our two teams are playing in this amazing game on Sunday?! Think about all the teams that don't even get a crack at this. All the fans who are just watching for the hype, not because they are fans. This is such an awesome experience, I know we all get all up in each others s%$# about stuff, but just step back and appreciate it. Should be a monster game!!! Good luck, hopefully there's no injuries and may the best team win! :up: :beer:
Favoring the vets is probably a factor, but going back to very early in the season, it was speculated that they took Wilson out because they feared leaving him in would destroy his confidence, in the sense of him getting used to being beaten. They had to work with him in practice to get him to turn to the ball better. I assume we see more of Wilson not just because of coverage problems with Coleman and Lowery, but because Wilson is slowly improving. But, I guess not enough yet to take Coleman out. Oh well...
I cannot tell you how many times revisiting games in slo-mo I've seen receivers break one way...while Coleman breaks bad.
Kyle Wilsons best game of the year was when he was covering the Pats TEs. Hes good enough to stay with them and make a deflection plus hes got way more speed to catch up to them if need be. Our secondary needs to play the game of a life time because I dont see us getting enough pressure on Brady. If we win our 1 on 1s in the secondary we should win this game.
