Question About Jamal Wilson

[mikegriz]

I have a question. Has anybody seen Jamal Wilson carry the ball? After the hype about using a fullback in the scheme this year, I was expecting more. Today, on the 4th and 1 (2?) I was thinking perfect opportunity to use your 238 lb. FB. So, I guess I actually have two questions. Have you seen Wilson carry the ball? Why aren't we using him? Expert opinions appreciated.

My understanding is that Wilson doesn't really want the ball, he prefers to just block.

Seriously? Hmmm... It might be time someone tell him "Sorry bud, but we're 4th and 1 and we need you to take this one over the line just this one time. We'll let you block next play."

We needed that 4th and 1. I understand Delaney's decision, but dang, our offense was rolling at that time. I've always been a fan of just hurry up and go at them. Maybe put 5 wide and have JJ take off up the middle.
