He doesn’t remind me of Shady McCoy at all, more Darren Sproles, but bigger and more of a burst. (not Sproles pass catching ability though)

I am disappointed he hasnt had more of a chance but let’s face it – this is the Giants Modus of Operation. Just as Bradshaw came on late in his first year to lead us to a Superbowl with fresh legs, now Wilson will have the chance to be the kiss of death for tired defenses down the stretch.
Oh and I can’t wait, cause he’s on my fantasy team too.

Andre Brown wasn’t a walk on folks. He was the Giants 4th round pick in 2009. The only reason he was signed as a free agent is because he tore his achillies his rookie year. Denver picked him up then cut him. He didn’t have “it” back really until this year.

The guy could always play when healthy. He was really good at NC State.

It is not the fumble that is the issue. He also has not shown the ability to correctly pass block, pick up blitz and perform the other tasks that are asked of RBs. The fumble, especially at this point in the season have very little to do with why Brown jumped so far in front of Wilson.

I trust in Reese and Tommy. They know what they are doing, walk on or not, management found him and have Brown at the right time in his career. If they have reservations about Wilson, I trust the reasoning.

Wilson is getting a bum rap, as he’s not been given a chance to redeem himself. One fumble doesn’t warrant all the flak he’s been given.

Agreed. This is getting on my nerves. He’s only fumbled once, but Bradshaw has coughed the ball up several times and no one writes about that. Coughlin, the coaching staff and the media needs to stop their assault on this young man. A rookie who fumbled. Who’s ever heard of such a thing? GEESH!

Bradshaw had about the same role at this point in his rookie season (granted as a 7th round pick), but he made his name by contributing in the last few regular season games an in the playoffs. Wilson looks to have a similar chance. If he can contribute now, few will look back at the season as a disappointment.

wilson should of already had a chance.. if a banged up bradshaw and a walkon like brown came do what they do behind that o-line imagine what a guy who reminds of me eagles McCoy would do. i been waitin for him to get an opp… but that opening day fumble seemed to be the biggest fumble of anyones 1st game ever for some reason
