I am very worried about this kid... I have never seen a slower DE than him.
He was late off the ball nearly every snap yesterday.
He has no moves whatsoever and it looks like he's maybe giving 25% effort out there.
Either he needs A LOT of work or we just drafted another mega bust. You simply cannot miss AGAIN on a top 7 defensive draft pick.
Anyone else concerned?
I hope I didn't brain my damage...
It’s only one game, but yeah don’t he don’t look good, so far.
His style makes more sense if you think about him playing in college to read RPOs. He doesn't have reps, he's still building strength in his leg, and he was playing like he was reading run or pass before engaging and then he didn't have a plan after the snap either.
It's 1 game. Why aren't we giving rookies 3 years anymore?
The kid played part of a preseason game and a few snaps in a regular season game, after coming off a serious injury, and a few fans are ready to call him a bust?
Geez.
Give the kid a chance. If he's healthy and not producing by mid season, then you can start to worry.

He was slow off the snap, not arguing that but its insanity to call him a bust game 1 lol
game speed is too fast for him, his loss of reps in camp and preseason has him behind the 8 ball and looking slow and lost...kids still thinking about his assignments and plays which make him slow to process info
gonna take half a yr before he snaps out of it imo
Never seen a player react so slow after the snap, like literally half a second to even move after he snap….he’s just a big for nothing guy who did well in college because of his size but that won’t work in the nfl. Go check his college tape he’s still slow as hell off the line every single play there’s no excuse for that I’m regards to him missing time with injury. It wasn’t his brain that was injured it was his foot
I agree insane to be calling the kid a bust at this point but my God he was slow off the ball, I get the technique, lack of NFL level skill and even speed of the game but the slow reaction to the snap of the ball, hope he shows improvement quick, we need production from that side,
It's not insanity to call him a bust already....First because the Raiders that drafted him...All we draft are busts...And him being slow off the snap, and really slow like Raiderbay said...fuck sakes he looks like a straight bust....he should make an impact right away....Same old dumbshit
Fu#k The Rest
Watching him made me want Ferrell back, who looked improved. I was disappointed with our D all together. Looked like the same ol D from last year. Giving up big play after big play. I will give Wilson a couple games, but dude looked like he was standing still out there.
