You all are acting like I said to cut TY... good grief, we're talking about a guy who's played in just 4 games!! 4 games out a possible 48... with 15 catches across 4 years! Don't believe me, look up the stats for yourselves. If the dude is hurt and missing games, he benefits your team in no way. If that same dude is missing 90 percent of the games due to injury year after year after year, it's time to let him go.
You talking about a 3rd string tight end bruh calm down lol

Looking like Hines is falling behind wilkins

He looked fine in pass protection he only got beat like twice and the defender still couldn't get passed him clean
-
Fountain has some size with him he just needs to step up
-
Probably won't see him until week 1
-
Hopefully fountain will step up he doesn't have the hands like cain but he can get separation
-
Probably won't see mack until week 1 of the regular season
-
Again we were missing quite a few starters and that makes a difference everything will be alright the young boys did what they could do
-
Yeah looking like grant is locking up that #2 spot and rodgers and cain are fighting for the #3 spot
-
Tone the intensity down frank these boys dropping like flies
-
Well word is billy price is having trouble snapping the ball in training camp....keep that up for week one

I don't follow. Are you saying that Chuck thought Wilson was good enough to play but didn't play him to make a point, at the same time your'e saying Chuck was playing the best players available because he wanted to win?
I read last year's situation with Wilson as where Chuck didn't play him because he wasn't prepared, and that there was some ongoing issue with Wilson's personality or personal situation that would always make him unprepared to play. The stuff he said in the media was to simply not throw the kid under the bus.
I don't think he let the team and his job go down the drain to make a point about the process of being a professional player.
Yeah he wanted to make an example out of someone so it was wilson for whatever his reason was he was making changes to the roster every week to try his best to save his job but we knew he was getting fired

I'm just speculating as to why Wilson didn't earn a spot on the field, as to why he didn't show enough. Of course the coach is going to play whomever he thinks is going to give him the best chance of winning. He's not going to sit a player if he thinks that player will play better than who he's playing.
Are you saying that you know that playing Wilson would have given Chuck the best chance of winning, but that Chuck failed to see what you did?
Of course....chuck was doing almost anything to have a chance to keep his job....being more disciplined on the players when he really wasn't before....he handled wilson wrong your team is down 2 corners and you still contemplate whether you want to play wilson or not it was unnecessary

Possibly along the lines of this-
Some snippets I have read about attitudes - youth and even college sports-
'Forget about playing for the love of the game or to support teammates', Auriemma said; 'too many players are focused on themselves'. (Auriemma being UConn's famed ladies team basketball coach)
Auriemma also said - "They're allowed to get away with just whatever, and they're always thinking about themselves," he said. "Me, me, me, me, me. 'I didn't score, so why should I be happy?' 'I'm not getting enough minutes; why should I be happy?' That's the world we live in today, unfortunately. Kids check the scoreboard sometimes because they're going to get yelled at by their parents if they don't score enough points. Don't get me started."
The consensus?
' **There is too much of a 'me' culture in youth sports, too much involvement by parents, too many coaches concerned only with winning and too little focus on just playing the game.** '
These are the types of athletes mindsets, even those that reach the Pro's. Wilson was a Star at U of Florida. Stars there don't cover kicks/punts. He was asked to learn and do it for the Colts, and the fallout was not good.
Let's ask Princeton Tiger, I'll bet he's "seen it"
I'm sure coaches would rather work with the good player(s) that listens, works hard at improving, and is a team player than the 'entitled' star that skates on talent and just 'want's his'.
I've heard ex players say in interviews some of their old Head Coaches in their locker room have said 'It's not about the Best 53, it's about the Right 53 for this roster'. You know they want the best talent, so that says that there may be cases/times where your talent won't be enough; if you're not being a "Pro" concerning the job. The whole job.
Is it wilson fault that they didn't teach him in Florida about the special teams? No they knew what wilson could do and could not do when they drafted him but whenever he's interviewed he seems humbled to me he doesn't seem selfish I understand some of young players maybe selfish but that doesn't apply to all of them

There were several reasons given. He had a knee issue, despite not being on the injury report, then he lacked maturity in his preparation, and then he needed to learn ST first.
You know, all of these smell like B S to me.
I think Pagano was being a professional by providing some sort of football reason for the scratch, when it probably has something to do with Wilson's personal life that's at the root of it.
For example, if a young kid constantly shows up to work hungover, an experienced HC is going to try a combination of working with him and disciplining him as a way to get his head straight. And the HC is doing the right thing by not going to embarrassing him in the media.
I don't know any of this. But the dots connect in way that tells me the issue wasn't strictly a football issue. Maybe it was.
Nobody else complained about wilson being "immature" besides chuck and ted and who knows what they meant by that. No one else said anything bad about wilson not even the teammates so again it was their opinion and they handled the situation wrong

Besides health issues, there a lot of truth there. However, Vontae Davis and Rashaan Melvin had the outside CB's starting positions, and Hairston the starting slot. A non starting CB has to be able to play ST's, if healthy. It seemed Wilson had a hard time doing either (play ST or stay healthy). Thus Christopher Milton, Pierre Desir and Kenny Moore got to dress as part of the active 46 while Wilson was often a 'healthy' scratch. So Milton, Desir and Moore must have been much better ST players. Now the kickoff rules have changed, there are even less BIGs participating on kickoffs, meaning more ST particiaption from second string and at times even starters (we'll see).
Wilson had a year to get healthy and grow up. Let's see how he responds this time around.
This much is true but again....wilson didn't get a real chance until after Melvin got hurt....vontae stayed hurt we needed the help but chuck was stubborn and when Wilson did hit the field he made an impact he just need time which he has now
-
You sound dumb on this one....wilson didn't see the field much last seasons because chuck felt it was more important to learn special teams than playing corner which was silly to me

I kind of take this to mean that Desir and Wilson are the two outside guys and Moore’s the starter in the slot.
That maybe the case moore is too small to play the outside
-
Moore playing the outside? He will definitely get burned
-
I kinda see it as an advantage....marvin lewis isn't hard to figure out he runs the same scheme every season
-
Atleast we don't have to worry about that filling in that position
-
I'm not surprised by this his knee never got right

The post said he wasn't getting 1st team reps. I apologize I took that as someone had been watching camp and relaying information. Then we had videos of him getting burnt by Rogers so I was putting two and two together. After the immaturity issues he had last year I have a lot of question marks on Wilson....I hope he proves me wrong. If he is getting 1st team reps than that's a positive sign that perhaps he is turning things around and I am thrilled for that!
It never said he didn't get reps with the 1st team
