Bevel MUST go
Wilson not running isn't an issue with Bevell IMO, unless it's a designed run. IMO, it seems Wilson is trying to prove he's a passer first rather than a scrambler. Numerous time this year Wilson has had green grass in front of him and instead of taking what the defense is giving he, he chooses to jog parallel with the LOS looking to find a receiver get open down field. A good example of this is the play against the Saints where Cameron Jordan caught up to Wilson forcing him out of bounds at the LOS to stop the clock when we needed to burn time. Wilson not taking those free yards actually hurts us a lot. I mean, I'm not wanting him to run on every play, but if he buys time with his legs and there is green grass for him to pick up a first down, he needs to not be so indecisive, make up his mind quickly and either pass the ball or run for some yards. Defenses seem to be given him more of a shot to run lately in order to cover the receivers down field more effectively. He starts running again to keep the chains moving, I think he'll have an easier time finding receivers open down field due to the defense choosing to guard against Wilson running.
Bottom Line: If they're giving him an opportunity to gain significant yards, Wilson needs to take it. It moves the chains, it'll free up the passing game a bit more IMO and will help give our defense a break/catch their breath instead of this 3 & Out crap we've been seeing much more of lately.
Absolutely agree with this... as it pertains to last week's game vs. Saints... This week though, he may not have the same opportunities given the speed the Niners have at the LB position across the board. The chess match will be interesting though... spy? No spy? Tuck and run? Scramble and pass?
