Quincy Wilson. Great Playing, Bad Luck??

[Freeupfreeney]

I watched him in his preseason games and its like, it doesn't matter how well he is positioned, it like he is always 1 cm from deflecting or one fingertip from making a play. The QBs are picking on him, but they shouldn't, but they are, and its like they are putting in in the perfect spot for the wr he is covering. Anybody agree.

 

Even tough yards are racking up on the dude. I still can't really say is because of bad play on his part. I don't know how you can cover too much better than he does, on all the big plays that are made on him. Tough start for a rookie.

[IinD]

He'll DEFINITELY get better judging strictly on his early play.

 

He's always at least in position to make a play. It'll come, just gotta give him sometime.

 

I'd be way more worried if he looked totally clueless like TJ Green does at times.

Spot on man, he's right there in a WR hip pocket. But just in again his play as he progresses, we could have a stud

[ReMeDy]

Close only counts in horseshoes. See what I did there? I'll be here all week.

[OLD FAN MAN]

if we had a pass rush they would all look better

[Superman]

A corner who finds and makes plays on the ball will eventually get turnovers. He's already breaking up passes, it's just a matter of time before he's taking it away.

I hope he still gets ample playing time when vontae comes back because we know melvin seems to be liked by the coaches. I believe we have a future star in wilson!

[will426]

One thing that stands out is that he's never far behind 

[GoColtsWin]

I think he and Hooker are gonna be a great combo in the backfield for our Colts. They both seem to have good instincts. 

[DonnieDarko1023]

For him being a rookie I'm cool with his play because he's in the right place just like a second off.....I think more playing time will help him make up that one second 

[AZColt11]

Little bit of tough luck so far but it's just a matter of time....

[Aluckiswolverine]

Hopefully Ballard finds another Quincy in next years draft and we can have Vontaes replacement. 

[Steamboat_Shaun]

I thought he was great on Sunday. He gave up a TD but the coverage couldn’t have been better, just a very good play by the WR.

[NorthernBlue]

It's so frustrating because he's always right there on every play.

 

He'll get better with more reps. Just pray for 2 things right now.

1. He stays healthy

2. Pagano doesn't bench him for Melvin when Vontae comes back.

Melvin didn't look too bad on Sunday but I agree on hoping he doesn't get benched when VD returns

The throw was perfect as well.  Not much you can do on that one but tip your hat.

[lollygagger8]

Q Wilson is already that close to making plays and he's played two games in the NFL. Give him a little time, and I think he'll start getting turnovers. 

 

The Colts need to play more man coverage with him (and in general) though. They play waaaay too much zone, and don't play it well.  

[Defjamz26]

His main issue is finding the ball and getting his head turned around. Once he figure that out he'll be really good.

Sure looked like Palmer threw the ball right where they must practice it, and the WR ran the perfect route to the

spot. Palmer couldn't have nailed it better with a hand off. Pure Mastery.

 What i loved seeing was Wilson was about 2 steps behind after the receiver made his break and Wilson

had the recovery speed to close. That was a question after his 40 time, but i'm not worried anymore. 

And 6'1"  206, he looks strong/physical in run support. 

[OHColtfan]

Experience and growth is what turns near misses into passes defended and interceptions. Good things is, it looks like he competes hard and goes after it every play.

This was a great example of his football instincts.  He had some closing speed but mainly because he jumped the route and went underneath.  If that was a double move than this is a completely different convo as he would have been burned.  He watched Palmer and saw him wanting to unload the ball...good instincts. 

[shasta519]

I liked what I saw. The Colts have long-needed a risk-taking playmaker at CB. So the interceptions should come. 

 

But to be fair, on the pass break up, Palmer underthrew it. If Palmer has good placement there, both Wilson and Hooker are getting burnt...possibly for a TD.

Yep, can't teach instincts, even if you have speed. (cough, cough, T.J.Green ). With good instincts, you can make up a 4.5 speed vs a 4.4 or 4.3 WR (unless that WR is an elite one that maximizes every ounce of their talent).

Thank you.

We really need to kid to live up to his potential.

I don't see VD returning next year.

I view him as Vontae's replacement

[Dark Superman]

As long as we don't see the WR 20 yards ahead of him every game like we did with Toler..
