HB Dontre 'DeSoto' Wilson (Official Thread)

^ I agree. Unleash Wilson. More plays designed for him. I expect to see a diamond in the backfield with Miller, Hyde, Wilson and Hall. Sweet baby jesus this Sat is going to be fun. Under the lights and a good D to show us where this O really stands. I'm going with 30+ points this weekend and Wilson accounts for at least 6 of those.

Why not? If we button [Mark May] down the Wiscy D will just pin their ears back. I still don't think Miller is 100%, and Wiscy loves to blitz the [Mark May] out of opponents...

Absolutely agree. The first four games are for building tendencies, and this is the week when you break them.

Have heard about the great receiving skills from Wilson but haven't seen it yet. They may be saving that for this week.

I felt like Wilson was very involved in our gameplan against Cal. I expect to see several of those jet sweeps where we flick the ball to him in what is technically a forward pass.
The one play I absolutely loathe the staff having him do is the quick-hit screen going right back into the fucking teeth of the line. The few times they've run that, it got stuffed...even by FAMU. Get him out in space, and/or running away from traffic, not right back into the meat of it.

That screen could be a set-up for something bigger. I think the first four games were so easy for this team that the play book was hardly used at all. I think we light up the Wiscy defense pretty good.

I would love to see this diamond formation after hearing about it during spring practice. My guess is Urban opens the play book up with a few more we haven't see, but far from giving away all the secrets. Big thing for this game is seeing how Braxton looks, as we haven't really seen him much.

I'd love to see him actually get the ball on the other side of the LOS. I'd love to see him run a slant towards the wide side of the field.

Dontre will affect every game he plays in from here on out. There is enough on film of him to make DC's account for him on every play because his speed scares them to death. Even if he doesn't touch the ball on a particular play, he is drawing attention, which helps whoever does get the ball.
