I made a comment on my concern that Wilson was left in the last game too long for my taste.
You could go either way here. In that last game, to that point, Wilson had something like 35 yards. So you have to get them some time under live fire because you need to be acclimated to game speed before the games start for real.
BUT
We have a patchwork offensive line.
And we have a QB that likes to hold the ball a bit longer than most, because of his mobility and perhaps because our receivers don't tend to separate well.
That combination means a lot of potential for free rushers to get shots at the QB.
So the question is:
Do you want your QB more game ready but a much higher potential chance of getting injured OR do you want to wait it out and deal with the reality that your offense will probably be rusty for a few games? (This is important because without Kam we might not have the ability to just hold a team down until we can get our legs under our offense in the final half).
I was upset because Wilson was still playing after the half, knowing that with the craptacular line play there was a much higher injury risk. But then again, Wilson needed the reps so I guess Pete decided we had to roll the dice. It worked out in that instance.
I am still baffled that a team that depends so much on the health of the QB would put such a collection of thrown together odds & ends at the line, with the hope it can keep things together - knowing what is at stake. But as Bobby Wagner said, "You can't keep everybody." and you cannot be strong at everything. We apparently made a strategic decision to starve the line in order to feed other parts of the team.
So I don't know anymore. Pete has earned our trust at this point but it is tough looking at the production this preseason and expecting some magical change once the real games start. Even worse is knowing how important Wilson is, and how his resources to protect him seem barely adequate.
