Looking at the replay. Just disgusting. What's wrong with those two? We have Revis and Cromartie and then NOBODY in our secodary. Just one giant hole in the middle that Belichec exposed.
In their defense, Brady just makes all average corners look like trash, just like Manning did in the playoffs to the Jets last season. But post-draft the Pats were ripped by some for taking McCourty over Wilson, but looks like a great decision now. A first round pick should be able to be a nickle CB in the NFL, even in his first season, and Lowery has been a solid #3 in the past.
Lowery should play safety He's an average cover corner but could be a very good cover safety. With Leonard out we need more safety help and Lowery, who has ballhawk instincts, may be better suited to help us there. One thing for sure, he has to be a better coverage guy than Eric Smith. Good Lord is that guy awful. The pass interference vs Gronkowski in the end zone was laughable. He looked like a 4 year old kid trying to paddle to the edge of the pool. Omg what horrific ball instincts! If Idehigbo, who is a good solid thumper, is out this week we go in to the Miami game with Pool and Smith as our only safetys. Yikes!! Time to start Fasano in your FF league! Lowery can help us there. In fact he probably should start the rest of the way.
And it's time to lose the diapers Kyle!! Wilson was a #1 draft pick!! By now he should at least be a #3 corner! If Lowery needs to move to safety (which I believe he should) then kyle better man up and start covering slot guys!! Coleman is a #4 CB at best. Time to show you were worthy of a #1 pick wilson! Team needs you and you need to step up big time over what you've shown so far.
Yup. I'm wondering when it's OK to use the "B" word with Wilson. The entire 2010 draft class is looking like an enormous BUST so far. I know it's early but Christ look at the Patriots. They have at least 3-4 rookies on the field making huge contributions. Tannenbaum gets a lot of praise for some of the moves he's made but it has come at the expense of draft picks that could have added solid depth at key positions. I am so disappointed in Wilson after all the hype he got during Training Camp.
as far as the pats go, its been what 5 years since they had a decent draft? And with a dozen picks a year, it was bound to happen eventually. Wilson needs to find a way to get on the field, he has too. He played very well in the cleveland game, and since then I don't think I have seen him on the field at all.
