Had high hopes for Tyree Wilson, adding him to a lineup with Crosby and Jones was looking like a nice edge rush.
With Jones gone we have still not asked for much out of Wilson, and he still seems to be behind the 8ball. Has improved getting off the line but his football IQ just does not seem to be there.
By this point I would expect to see raw talent with lack of feel for the pro game. But neither has presented him self. Recently read his scouting report out of college and it was fairly accurate, slow off the ball, disappears at times…
Not much has been mentioned of him in pressers, or any mention of him working hard by coaches or Crosby when they have been asked. All in all disappointed to see his transition in the pros so far.
Hope the guy is just acclimating to his injury but seems like he’s lacking work ethic.
Yes, Philly has all sorts of temptations too, he could easily get in has much trouble in Philly has he could in Vegas. But going to the Eagles is and was the absolute best situation for him. His teammates who are on the Eagles are older, have been in the league longer and better understand how different things are in the pros vs college and what needs to be done to be successful. Overall he simply has a much better support network in Philly vs had he went anywhere else. Had he went to the Dolphins for example, there would’ve been a better chance that he gets in trouble down in South Beach because he wouldn’t have that support network.
You’re way overplaying this. You act like he was doing anything other than being a dumb college kid. He just got caught up. What’s your excuse for Hill? For Parsons? KC and DAL just have better “support networks?” We just have absolutely no resources? No vets to help guide a young kid? Do we not have a perennial all pro that was gonna play right next to him that overcame tons of “temptations?” You’re making way too many excuses. It’s not that Philly has a better “support network.” They simply do what good teams do and draft good players because they believe in their system. There is no excuse unless you’re saying that we didn’t believe in our system. In that case, why did we even have our last regime employed at the draft? We fucked up big
Actually, YES. KC and Dallas has better support networks than the Raiders. KC had Mahomes, and Andy Reid who had a history of dealing with players who had off the field problems and making them solid guys in the NFL. Also Hill did NOT kill anyone. Dallas also has a stronger support network, they’ve drafted numerous players who had issues in college, and had guys like Michael Irvin and others come in and mentor them.
First of all, Mahomes wasn’t even there yet. Second of all Carter didn’t kill anyone. He wasn’t even driving the car with the people that died. You’re just making excuses.
He was involved in it, he was speeding and racing his friend, and very likely was drunk too.
On January 15, 2023, at approximately 2:45 a.m., a serious car crash occurred resulting in the deaths of University of Georgia staff member Chandler LeCroy and football player Devin Willock. The collision, which occurred in East Athens after the Bulldogs had been celebrating their second consecutive national championship earlier in the evening, was believed by police to have occurred as a result of street racing involving LeCroy, who was driving a 2021 Ford Expedition, and Carter, who was driving a 2021 Jeep Trackhawk. LeCroy, whose blood alcohol content was 0.197, more than twice the legal limit at the time of the crash, veered off the road after failing to make a proper turn at a high speed. She struck at least two utility poles, downing one of them, and trees before the car came to a stop against the door of an apartment building, blocking the resident inside until the wreckage could be cleared away. Willock, who was not wearing his seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle. Two other passengers were injured. It was estimated that both cars reached speeds of more than 100 miles per hour. LeCroy's speedometer indicated she had been traveling at 83 miles per hour when it broke during the crash.[15][16][17] Carter had previously been cited for traffic violations three times during the fall semester, twice by campus authorities and once by Athens police for traveling at 89 miles per hour in a 45 miles per hour zone.[18]
