He played a very good game.

 

This kid is going to be so freaking good once he gets all of the mental aspects down. Sometimes in zone he thinks he can't move. LoL, and is late on reaction, but it's freaking coming.....You can see it.

 

Well deserved

 

He made 2 gigantic plays, the interception and the batted ball that Sawyer picked off.

 

i played him on my fantasy team this week. he had a great game. he and sawyer just remind me of great steeler linebackers. i hope they keep evolving. all the linebackers had pretty good days. nice to watch.

 

He had a phenomenal game.

 

I did have a few fellow fans mention to me he must have met Walter White before the game.

 

True, but he also did a lot more than that. He was a big part of containing Taylor. He looked good in coverage, including running with Warren a few times.

 

Watched the game again.

Well earned indeed.

Hopefully he can continue this Ascension.

 

Let's GO!

 

That's the same type of splash plays Jack Ham made just at the right time.

 

let the kid play. he out hustles everyone else on the field. he's everywhere. let him be him. just like ramsey at safety. let him do what he do.

 

He made the big plays, but it is the plays we didn't see him make that are what will make him so good. Saw his nose in there a few times while Taylor was rushing for 45 yards. I saw him alongside Warren a few times while Warren was going off for 26 yards.

Two things the Steelers have been doing very poorly lately - stopping the run and containing the TE and the middle of the field. The last two weeks, Wilson was on the field for 43% and 67% of the defensive snaps. Against the Colts he was in for 85%. If he continues to ball, he'll continue to see the field and improve his game.

 

Atta boy Wilson!
