***David Wilson Bandwagon*** (1 Viewer)

no RBBC...by the time Brown is back (4-6 weeks) Wilson will be injuried, and then he'll get the full load.

Wilson is not durable enough to be the main back

Based on?

Just because it's that time of year. A lot of extra patience is needed between last week and a month from now just to read these boards.I'm a Wilson is a future top 5 guy. He still needs to learn some things; get down or out of bounds when there's nothing left, become more patient with the blocking scheme, widen the vision cone, become intimate with the pass blocking/route running. He's not there yet, but he has a very good opportunity to be there in the next year or two. Borderline top 10 RB this year. Who knows, I was a year too late on J. Charles and Shady. We'll see what he's made of this year and we'll know next year if he's topped out yet.

I wouldn't say he's topped out yet... I will say I think you're under-estimating how far along he is though. I honestly think with Brown now out of the picture for 4-6 weeks (or more) that Wilson has a really solid chance at Top 5 this season. I thought he had a solid chance at Top 10 prior to Brown's departure... which is the reason I reached for him in most of my drafts.

Oh, I'm hoping so. I shuffled draft picks to be in range to pick him as a rookie last year. I think he has special ability, but he also has shown a propensity to do some really bad things (running backwards, taking too much punishment) that may have worked in college but won't in the BIGS. He absolutely has potential to be top 5 this year, but he could get Eli nuked, fumble, get dinged, drop passes... any number of things could limit him and he's just too young and inexperienced to say with any certainty that he's reached his peak as a young, 22 year old who has most of his reps as a kick returner. I'm hoping for top 5, expecting around 10-12 and would be disappointed with anything outside of 20 (which would almost have to be injury). I'm a bit of a glass-half-empty guy but... If it tells you what I'm thinking on him, I'm committed to a playoff run with said dynasty team having Wilson as my #1 RB.

From watching every preseason snap this season I've seen a few things. Albeit only 24 carries but that's actually about 1/3 of what he had last season.

- He seems to have stopped the tendency to run backward... it may not be completely gone. But he's improved massively.

- He has yet to fumble since his 2nd carry last season so 161 touches of the ball since without a fumble. It's safe to say this issue is solved.

- Has he really had issues dropping passes? He's seemed really solid at receiving this preseason. I'm not sure I've seen a single drop that I can recall although I'm not looking at the stats in front of me. Last season he also had several really good receptions.

I've also never understood the whole "he takes too much punishment" thing. Every 'good' NFL back does this... so I just don't understand it. If they break tackles their taking too much punishment, if they go down after first contact. They suck cause they don't break tackles.

Here are some tidbits from a certain RBs pre-draft profile. A list of 'cons' that sound awfully familiar to one David Wilson. See if we can figure out who it is...

Refuses to go down easily and is willing to fight to break tackles Is rarely straightened up on first contact and usually picks up at least a couple of yards after the first hit Has very good speed and can bounce runs to the outside Has little experience as a pass blocker or receiver. Takes a lot of hits, many times because he initiates them

Sounds like Peterson when he came out of college

 

[eoMMan]

Reminds me of Adrian Peterson.

I think this is about as close as we are going to be able to dial it in until we start seeing live action with this guy. If you haven't bought in yet, it is too late unless you are willing to overpay.

 

[LittleLarry]

I overpaid.

But I'm a believer.

 

[Khy]

Reminds me of Adrian Peterson.

Correct, it is Peterson. Obviously I'm not saying David Wilson is the next Adrian Peterson. He has all the talent to post those levels of production though and he's definitely in a system with Coughlin that would LOVE to have that kind of bell cow running back. He and Peterson have very very similar pre-draft profiles put together. Peterson had a more prolific college career but they do have a lot of the same pros and cons. Funny enough, the biggest difference between the two of them was that Peterson came out of college with an 'injury prone' tag on his name. Wilson didn't and somehow people are talking about him getting injured as a big concern. I just feel like a lot of people are very quick to forget. If you find the original Peterson thread on the forums from back in 2006/2007 you'll see posts that sound just like this David Wilson thread. You have two polar opposites of posters and nobody in between. There was the camp of:

"Peterson is going to get hurt to much, we've barely seen him play. One big 40 yard preseason run does not make a career"

or "Peterson is a stud, his ceiling is limitless. Draft him earlier than everyone else this season and walk to the bank of your championship."

We know how that turned out.

I overpaid.

But I'm a believer.

At this point his floor is probably a mid-RB2, ceiling is RB1 overall. I reached for him in drafts before Week 3 preseason by almost a full round cause I am fully bought in on him. If I were drafting today I'd still reach for him. I just don't understand how you can watch this kid run last season and this preseason and not be completely blown away by him on every carry. Even his bad carries he still hits the line so hard he falls forward for 2-3 yards.

 

[Pots]

I overpaid.

But I'm a believer.

I honestly don't know how you overpay for him unless you take him in the 1st. I like him better than all the 2nd round RB options.

In PPR I could see taking him at the 1/2 turn... going something like Wilson/Graham, Wilson/Morris or Wilson/Dez doesn't seem like complete insanity to me.

Rotoworld:

Giants coach Tom Coughlin hinted he is comfortable with David Wilson carrying a larger workload in the wake of Andre Brown's left-leg fracture.
"You have to do what you have to do in order to win," Coughlin explained. "It is a game of strength and endurance and power and that kind of thing. David is a guy who has outstanding endurance and strength. I’m not aware of what the number (of carries) might be, but I’m sure we’ll work that out." Wilson should have no trouble reaching 20-plus touches in Week 1 against the Cowboys. He's also the new favorite for all goal-line work in New York.

Source: Ralph Vacchiano on Twitter

Why does Ralph ... edit... out the full context of what Coughlin actually said? His twitter is no reliable source for his quotation and the stuff in blue is also not what Ralph said.

Anyone have the actual quote unedited so we could actually know what the coach said?

Here's the part you're looking for from his Q&A yesterday.

Q: How comfortable are you with David Wilson taking over as the short-yardage guy, goal line guy? A: David Wilson runs in there hard. I don’t have a problem with that at all. That’s not an issue for me. He’s powerful. He’s compact. He has tremendous leg strength, which is his forte. For him to run the ball in short yardage and goal line, I don’t have an issue with that at all.

Q: What about the amount of his carries?

A: I think you have to have in the back of your mind a little idea about the number and we do. It’s interesting because last night we had 71 snaps. We had 32 minutes time of possession, 71 snaps to their 60. The last two weeks, we’ve had a lot of snaps. We had over 80 the week before, so we’ve been in a lot of snaps. There’s a lot of snaps in these games. When you look up there sometimes, preseason, you’re wondering, when the hell is this quarter going to get over? That takes place during the regular season. You have to do what you have to do in order to win. It is a game of strength and endurance and power and that kind of thing. David is a guy who has outstanding endurance and strength. I’m not aware of what the number might be, but I’m sure we’ll work that out.

Q: He also said he hopes he’s convinced the coaches he can pick up blitzes and he’s not a liability.

A: He’s done a pretty good job of that. The last couple weeks he’s improved and he’s also done a nice job when if a half a jersey is hanging over, like he did last night on that play-action pass, he’ll step in there and bang the defensive tackle. He’s a much improved player. Much more aware of what he has to do to contribute to the entire pass protection scheme. Sometimes it’s important that he has to be out. You have to realize that too. He does, he’s starting to understand that as well.

 

[Insein]

Got him in the third today. Picked up Andre Brown in the 16th just in case. I'm excited.

 

[Biabreakable]

Thank you. I do not see the coach saying anything about what roto tacked on to that. And no I do not trust anyone who edits out context as Ralph did.

Sometimes it’s important that he has to be out. You have to realize that too. He does, he’s starting to understand that as well.

There is a lot of assumption going on here without evidence.

I mean... not really? What assumption doesn't have evidence? 20+ touches is a pretty good bet for a bell cow RB on a team that loves the run. You have to assume he sees 17-20 carries a game and another 2-4 receptions. So that's pretty fair to assume. And Coughlin flat out said he's going to be the goal line back. So sure, Ralph does clip the quote a little to fit it into Rotoworld's twitter like character limits. But otherwise, he's not making incorrect assumptions.

 

[Biabreakable]

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Saturday's final cuts day will be a nerve-wracking one for But the New York Giants backup running back hoped he showed he might help fill the void left by when Andre Brown suffered a broken leg in Thursday's 28-20 loss to the New England Patriots.

Scott rushed for 25 yards on four carries and scored a touchdown on a six-yard catch in the third quarter.

The Giants will have a decision to make as to what to do about Brown's injury and how many running backs to keep on the active roster. Brown feels he can be back soon and won't need the temporary injured-reserve designation. The Giants, though, will need to keep a few running backs behind David Wilson. Scott and Ryan Torain hope they will be able to stick.

"We are definitely a great running-back group and will help pick up the slack," said Torain, who rushed for 14 yards on six carries. "I most definitely know we can get the job done. We will keep Dre in our prayers."

Seventh-round pick Michael Cox has impressed the coaching staff in camp and has been returning kickoffs. Cox had just four carries on for minus-2 yards, but he might have shown enough to stick. Scott hopes he will return for a third season.

"It’s always a numbers game," he said. "Nothing is guaranteed. I am still worried about (Saturday's cuts), so it is in God’s hands right now. Just hope and pray on Saturday I don’t get a call." http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/giants/post/_/id/28818/notebook-torain-and-scott-ready-to-fill-in

I was talking about you making assumptions Khy while at the same time insulting anyone else with a different point of view.

Wilson does not need to be a bell cow to be a very valuable RB. But to assume that Scott or Cox will not be in the mix for more than 20-30% of the RB snaps while possible is not something that has been set in stone. It would be a departure from what the Giants under Coughlin have done historically and not a safe assumption at all.

Maryland’s Da’Rel Scott runs fastest running back fortyPosted by Evan Silva on February 27, 2011, 6:14 PM EDT
Maryland running back Da’Rel Scott is expected to be a mid- to late-round pick in April’s draft, but on Sunday he was a star. With an official forty time of 4.34, Scott was the fastest running back at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Finishing with the second fastest forty time was Mario Fannin, a backup at Auburn. Recording a 4.38, the 5-foot-11, 225-pound prospect left college as the Tigers’ all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards by a running back. Fannin could have a future as a third-down back in the NFL.

Kentucky’s Derrick Locke and UConn’s Jordan Todman, both undersized scatback types, ran 4.40 forties to tie for third amongst Combine running backs.

Oklahoma’s DeMarco Murray ranked fifth with a 4.41, and Nebraska’s Roy Helu sixth with a 4.42.

Other notable times: Oklahoma State’s Kendall Hunter – 4.53, Alabama’s Mark Ingram – 4.62, Ohio State’s Brandon Saine – 4.43, Hawaii’s Alex Green – 4.53.

These times are all official. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/27/marylands-darel-scott-runs-fastest-running-back-forty/

If Da’Rel Scott saw the New England Patriots’ punt-return unit in “six up” formation (six players on the line), that meant a fake punt was doable. It was his call as to whether theGiants would run it.

The first time he saw “six up” in Thursday's preseason game in New England, he didn’t call it. He and a few players talked to the coaching staff on the sideline and they all agreed the next time they would go for it. Though head coach Tom Coughlin said no:

"That's my initial answer," Coughlin said today. "Ask my wife. That's what I say every time. When you ask me something real quick like that, no."

But Coughlin relented and the Giants decided to run the fake.

"It was the idea and the circumstance and the fact time was out so I stood there looking at the situation," Coughlin said. "(Special teams coach Tom) Quinn was standing next to me and we decided, 'Hey, let's do it.' If it's there, we'll do it."

They did. Scott ran off right edge, cut across the field and ran to the end zone for a 65-yard touchdown in Thursday night’s victory over the Pats. It was the rookie seventh-round pick’s second long touchdown of the preseason and, combined with his 114 yards rushing on the night, made him a virtual lock to be on the Giants’ final roster.

After all, with footage of him running away from players as if he was the star player in a pee-wee football game, there’s no way the Giants would be able to sneak him through waivers and onto the practice squad.

That’s the goal of the bubble players: put together some good film and force a team to keep you.

“Definitely,” a relieved Scott said in the Gillette Stadium postgame locker room. “Just taking advantage of my opportunities and show them I have the speed. when I got the ball in the second half, I felt I could run between the tackles, show them I could run tough, run hard and make something happen. I feel like I did that, too.”

Of course, the fake punt was the highlight of the night. He never doubted it was going to be a touchdown, even when he cut all the way across the field. Like a savvy veteran, he used the big screen in the end zone to check if any defenders were creeping up on him.

There were none.

Scott should be that confident he’s going to make the team, though he’s saying all the right things publicly.“Before the ball was snapped,” Scott said, “I knew it was going to be a good play.”

“I’m still nervous, really, to be honest,” he said. “I’m a seventh-rounder and we have some great backs. I’m just trying to give it to God and let him take care of it. … That’s why I tried to take advantage of my opportunities.

“I had one game, one shot, so I feel like I did everything I could do, left everything on the field.”

Da'Rel Scott had injuries (and multiple RB ahead of him) as the main reason he has not had extensive carries thus far with the Giants. Does not mean he will not be in the mix now.

Similarly Michael Cox could be used in rotation as well.

I am not going to assume that they will, but I am also not going to assume that they won't.

Am hearing the Giants have a big workout day planned tomorrow for players at various positions.

@Patricia_Traina 12m
I don't have names, but am hearing RB and S are among the group.

 

[ponchsox]

Two days since the last DW post? I am disappoint.

 

[rizzler]

Giants are working out scrub RBs as backup?

Seriously worrying about Wilson's numbers.

 

[msudaisy26]

Two days since the last DW post? I am disappoint.

I was thinking the same thing but I was relieved

 

[BustedKnuckles]

Giants placed RB Andre Brown (broken leg) on injured reserve/designated to return.
He can't return until Week 10, after the Giants' Week 9 bye. Facing a 4-6 week timetable, Brown should be ready when first eligible, but his injury history isn't exactly rosy. How David Wilson fares with lead duties could also affect how hard the Giants push his fragile backup. Considering Wilson's talent to put a stranglehold on the feature back job and Brown's durability issues, Brown's fantasy ceiling is not high enough to be worth stashing in 10- and 12-team leagues. Just drop him.

 

[munygon2]

They may be working out other RB's because there is no guarantee that Wilson doesn't get injured (I hope not because I drafted him), but they may need someone better than their current backups I suppose.

 

[Khy]

Well yeah... obviously they're not going to sign Tim Hightower and give him all the goal line and 3rd down work and 100+ carries on the season. It's mainly for a small change of pace and security blanket.

 

[JustinHawkins]

I just took Wilson in a redraft BEFORE Chris Johnson, Bush, or S-Jax. CHOOOO freaking CHOOOO!!

Looks like are looking at guys to sign after the first week so their salary isn't guaranteed. It's possible they sign Torain and another RB, possibly cutting Scott after week one. Obviously they want to look at the FA now so they can sign the guy/s they want ASAP after week 1 is over. Rather than waiting for the second week to work players out and risk losing ones they like.

Yeah, they can wait the week and have the salary not be guaranteed as the veteran isn't even that important. It's just that if Wilson were to go down (knock on wood) then they'd need someone to fill in and there's no way they'd put the running game in Michael Cox or Da'Rel Scott's hands.

In at pick 2.11. When I drew 2nd pick didn't think I'd have a chance for him to get back to me at end of 2nd.

Just because it's that time of year. A lot of extra patience is needed between last week and a month from now just to read these boards.

I'm a Wilson is a future top 5 guy. He still needs to learn some things; get down or out of bounds when there's nothing left, become more patient with the blocking scheme, widen the vision cone, become intimate with the pass blocking/route running. He's not there yet, but he has a very good opportunity to be there in the next year or two. Borderline top 10 RB this year. Who knows, I was a year too late on J. Charles and Shady.

Takes a lot of hits, many times because he initiates them…

The running backwards is something he did a lot in college. Have only seen it once or twice as a pro, and not nearly as drastic as he would do in school.

As for taking punishment... yes he does. He seems to relish contact a little too much for my liking. So does Trent Richardson and Steven Jackson. I like it less because he is smaller, but a guy like Ray Rice has just as much if not more power than Wilson but when he is out of room, he'll get down or out of bounds. It's something that Emmit Smith did extremely well. Emmit could hit you in the mouth like the best of them, but only did it when it was necessary. Otherwise, he'd avoid the worst of the contact whenever he could. I think it had a lot to do with his longevity, as I think it will with Ray.

I didn't say he fumbles. I listed that among things that could happen (not something I am expecting) to cause his workload to drop and finish the year outside of the top 10. Same with dropping passes. Could... among many other things. He is just young, and we aren't positive what he is yet. I'm fairly confident he's a top 5 RB in the NFL for a stretch during his career. I only said we're not certain yet. I'm on your side, man. I'm just not willing to say for sure that he hits that mark this year. It may come next year, or the year after. He's 22! He still has room to grow, and a lot more to learn. If he's top 5 this year, then we may be looking at him as the top RB in dynasty by next year depending on what happens with Martin and Richardson.

 

[Clifford]

Well I took him in the second round as my RB1 so I am on the bandwagon! No Andre Brown spells major touches, which was my only real gripe about his situation. Should be in line for 300+ touches easily now.

 

[ebsteelers]

i got him in round 3.4

paired him with mccoy and graham

Yeah, I mean if he finishes Top 5 this season and Richardson and Martin finish outside the top 5? We're probably talking about him as the #1 dynasty RB for the next few seasons. With him having done nothing yet, he's listed on a lot of sites as Top 10 at RB already. One good Top 5 finish would probably vault him into Top 3 with ease.

I got him round 3.2 paired him with Spiller and Gronk in the 9th round... that's shark like to bud....

Looks like Da'Rel Scott is the #2

Got him! Pick 22.

 

[glock]

Kept Wilson for $6 (12 team, 15 player, $200 cap) along with Forte-$40 in my $$ auction league. I managed to snare T.Rich for $57 at our draft on 8/11 and have watched Wilson's prospects for this year climb from mid range RB2 to RB1b since.

In again for year 2

Am I the only one who doesn't care where the DavidWilsonGuys drafted David Wilson?

Just an FYI, if you're posting in this thread I already assume you own David Wilson or you're interested in him. Where you picked him in your 8 team, 2 QB, 100 yard bonus, 1.5 TE PPR is irrelevant. Stop it.

I was able to grab him in the 3rd round of my draft a couple weeks ago.

What round did you get him in?

Yet that's EXACTLY why we're here. To share where he is going/went for and how much. A little on the late side at this point with tonight's opener and all, but there you have it.

Why are you here?

I'm here to read Bob Magaw, Jeff Pasquino, and/or Matt Waldman's analysis, read any updates or news on Wilson's status, interpret intelligent poster's opinions of Wilson, chime in once in a while on what I see with Wilson and his situation, etc.

Kept Wilson for $6 (12 team, 15 player, $200 cap) along with Forte-$40 in my $$ auction league. I managed to snare T.Rich for $57 at our draft on 8/11 and have watched Wilson's prospects for this year climb from mid range RB2 to RB1b since.

I didn't mean to offend you or anyone else, but really, nobody cares about your teams. Nobody cares how much you kept Wilson for. All of our leagues are different. This forum would be a lot better if people would read more instead of simply posting arbitrary draft positions or auction values.

Maybe I'm way off base and people are interested in those things though? I guess this is the bandwagon, so we should all know who's on it, right?

It's not meant to be a look at me and my league- it's meant to be used as a measuring stick to gauge interest in David Wilson. Any back story- kept for $, etc- helps flesh that out and give some perspective. And, yes- this IS the David Wilson Bandwagon ThreadTM, so people sharing their excitement at the ownership of David Wilson '13 edition shouldn't surprise you. Just slide on by if it doesn't offer that for you.

Yeah, if you're here to read the opinions of Waldman, Pasquino and the like? Then the forums probably aren't for you... they very rarely post in threads. The entire staff probably amounts to like 3% of all the posts on these boards. 97% is random people who play fantasy. If you don't want to hear those opinions then go read subscriber content and stop browsing the forums as all you really get here is amateur comments and analysis on players.

As for not caring about peoples teams, you're horribly mistaken. Most people love to hear that stuff... people who are on the bandwagon want to know where he's going in other snakes and how much he's going for in auctions. This way they know just how much they'll have to reach for him if they want him. This is the exact type of information we come to these threads for... in all honesty it's posts like yours that we (the masses) can't stand as they offer nothing to the discussion short of saying "Wow... this thread's stupid".

Giants placed RB Andre Brown (broken leg) on injured reserve/designated to return.
He can't return until Week 10, after the Giants' Week 9 bye. Facing a 4-6 week timetable, Brown should be ready when first eligible, but his injury history isn't exactly rosy. How David Wilson fares with lead duties could also affect how hard the Giants push his fragile backup. Considering Wilson's talent to put a stranglehold on the feature back job and Brown's durability issues, Brown's fantasy ceiling is not high enough to be worth stashing in 10- and 12-team leagues. Just drop him.

Nice to see as a Wilson owner. I got lucky and drafted him on 1 of my 3 teams the night before Brown got hurt. Good to see the depth chart as well, need to pickup Scott for my bench once waivers opens up after week 1. This is one situation to monitor closely as the Giants #2 RB has been a nice bye week filler for many years, if not startable.
