    Timmons is 234. foote had to be around 220-225. Wilson is thick, and built well. this is his 4th year. so there has to be some added knowledge there, and I think that's why the start goes to him. the other two have R's after their names. especially at this point in the season, I think they can get Wilson up to speed quicker this week.:cool:

    Please mac if you think the start should go to Wilson on merit fine but I'm going to poke my eyes out with a red hot poker if he get's the start just because Williams is a rookie..

    at this point of the season I believe that. having two rookies of the nine starters against a division rival on MNF, and Wilson having 4 years with NFL coaching gives him and our coaching staff the easier teach at this point. as I said, I think both will see game action, but Wilson has at least a little more knowledge at this point to not mess everyone else up. JJ still gets out of position and we have to cover that to a point. having to do that with another rookie to his inside makes it really tough on the other 9 out there.:cool:

    Vontaze Burfict played well as a rookie right from the get go.. As do many others. I'd take my chances getting some more splash plays while learning on the fly but that's me. The guy has been around the team since May and from all accounts understands the defense well. If Wilson is starting because the staff believe he's a better football player right now, I'm fine with it. If they're starting him because they think Williams MIGHT mess up, I'm not.

    well you know they like vets. JJ and Williams on that same side may be the deciding factor. I think they are close in physical ability but Wilson has more knowledge. I think it's that simple.:cool:
