Wilson will absolutely tear up that coverage, and even throw crossers on it from time to time because as the WR flashes through the window of Wilson’s compromised vision through the LOS, he knows the DB is *trailing*. When it’s zone, he knows a DB or LB might be lurking in his blind spot. This causes him to either not pull the trigger or to hesitate and throw late, too hard, and inaccurately.
Get ready for him to go right back to looking lost the next time he sees 2 high, and for this board to start wondering all over again why he’s broken. It’s Pete, it’s the finger, it’s the OL, it’s Tical’s fault.
I can guarantee this because in his entire career he has never consistently operated well vs zone for an entire season. He’s managed spurts, usually when there was some threat of either him running or a bell cow back, but he can’t make a so-so rushing attack work for him like Brady, Mannjng, Brees.
Brees made it work despite height because Brees could read coverages and anticipate. Wilson’s supposed commitment to film study makes me laugh because it’s the most wasted study ever. The guy is no better at reading zone or disguised coverages than he ever was. He can read man and beat a cover zero blitz when he sees it, which, so can I.
Wilson’s anticipation is really Kaepernick like. He’s better than Kaep, or at least he made it work much longer, but the anticipation is similar.
Lol of course he managed to last 10 years with number and wins rivaling all the greats without being able to read defenses. U know how absurd that sounds not to mention how factually in accurate it is.
