Guys....this was the first game or practice with wet balls. Wilson had trouble with passes sailing also. Not an excuse, and should not happen, but I'm not going to call anyone out for 2 drops on a wet day myself.
This. Might as well crucify Wilson for missing Lockett. Or throwing that ball too high and slightly behind McEvoy. Ony that subject, why doesn't Graham get more jump balls and when he does, why aren't they very good ?
Because our QB isn't great at throwing jump balls. At least not really high ones to his big guys.
Want to know why McEvoy is still on the team and Williams is in Cleveland? Go back and re watch the ONE good run Carson had against GB. look about 10 yards beyond the LOS. See that guy ? It's McEvoy sealing the edge against 2 guys in the secondary. Just that one block sprung Carson for another 15 yards. Williams would've whiffed the block, if he even tried to block at all.
Those plays are going to add up a lot more than the 3 jump balls Wilson is going to give him this season. Those plays were why Kearse was on the team for 2 years after everyone was asking why he wasn't gone.
I'm also not about to give up on a guy starting his 2nd season in a new position that he didn't even play in college. Just the size/speed combination is enough to keep him here. If he shows promise, we can ditch Graham and his contract after this year and keep Richardson (and I can't believe I'm typing that, I love Graham).
