For the last preseason game let's start some of the backups.

Wilson did not run perfect routes. That is true. On both plays he drifted upfield instead of staying flat against man coverage, which made the undercuts easier. But Howard is still the main problem here.He’s the one who has to put the ball where only his guy can get it (or at least where the defender has a much harder time undercutting it). On the second interception especially, the ball was behind Wilson. Leading him properly would have given Wilson a chance to run under it and would have taken the easy pick away from the Jets player. That’s quarterback responsibility. IE accuracy and placement to a moving target.

 

Start Allar in the first half. Start Howard in the second.

I do agree on playing with backups to see what you have. That said, Germie Bernard, Daylen Everette and Gennings Dunker either play the full game or all the way into the midway point of the third quarter. All three need those reps.

Spears Jennings should play the whole game. Same goes for Gabriel Rubio.

 

The first pick Wilson was supposed to cut straight across the 9 yard line which would have made him wide open for the first down. Instead he drifted 6 yards deeper than he should have, running down to where the defender was.
