Any less effectiveness by Wilson is not due to his play but more teams can scheme to stop him rushing the QB since other LB's are not as dangerous as last years crew were. Had teams decided to sell out cancel his rush out, Hill likely would have done serious damage when blitzing and the secondary last year could truly play on islands which limits the offensive need to worry as much about safety blitzes they are needed in secondary . Bobby even admitted he had thought the CB's could cover man to man better and that he was wrong. That statement came after Weber game. Since then they are getting more safety help which was very needed. Scary part is against Mellot it hurts losing safeties being able to help contain him like last year. So far MSU has been able to limit his carries, he goes out of bounds rather than cutting back inside to get more yards but you can bank on those protective measure will go out the door in Cat/Griz . They (coaches/Tommy) will go all out despite risks.
