Was Al Davis right on Wilson?

[DKphin]

1. Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis has become a joke of an owner in recent years. He has made so many blunders you immediately roll your eyes at the mention of any personnel move the Raiders make. But after two Dolphins games you have to ask: Did he get the Gibril Wilson halfway right?
He overpaid Wilson by a bank vault an offseason ago, but then released him during the season upon watching him play. After watching him miss play after play - right from the start Monday, when he missed Dallas Clark on the tight end's 80-yard TD - it's time to wonder if this is a good safety pairing.
Yeremiah Bell is a hitter and a good player. He missed Tony Gonzalez in the opener and Gonzalez went for a touchdown. Bell gets all benefit of the doubt for the manner he's played in recent years.
Here's the thing about free agency: It's a clean slate, for better or worse. Wilson came in with the reputation of having average cover skills and being a big hitter. Well, we're waiting.

Al Davis has certainly been wrong enough on so much else perhaps he finally got lucky.

I thought Wilson led the Raiders in tackles though?

Either Wilson really blows or playing out of position has really affected his play.

I wish we still had the thanks button cause you are absolutely right.

Nublar has posted that they are doing maintenance and the thank yous and badges are disabled for a bit. They will be back though.


As far as Gibril, I am wondering if our "Quarters" coverage scheme in the secondary is causing some problems.

Honestly, it looks like half our team forgot how to tackle for some reason, hopefully that gets corrected going into SD.

Gerbil Wilson is not only making himself look like garbage but Y.Bell as well.

I have no doubt in my mind Al was right about this clown. But even a broken clock is right two times a day.

Al Davis may have been right about Gibril but what about Samson Satele, Mike Shanahan, etc...?

Wilson made Donald Brown look like Earl Campbell. He's probably too busy tackling strippers during the week with all that loose change he's been making since the Giants dumped his azz.

Gerbil can't tackle or cover anyone. He's almost worse then Chris "Betty" Crocker was.
