Exactly. We thought Wilson was going to be a star of the offense. He has turned out to be JUST another great receiver in our corps. That's a pretty awesome just. Just one more weapon, one more option. That is part of being a great team, there are so many viable options to get the ball EVERY PLAY. We have 7 guys on the offense on every snap that are weapons with the ball. Smith, Thomas, Wilson, Marshall, Samuel, EZE, Spencer, don't forget JT..... and the list keeps going. They are all turning into elite weapons. Seniors are finally developed, the young players are hugely talented. This is the first time I've seen our offense that has more than 2-3 weapons. There aren't many teams in america that have more than 2-3 elite weapons. Dontre is simply one of those weapons, and that's huge. On most other teams in america these guys will be the star, here they are part of a great team.
Marshall has all of two kick returns on the year, and Spencer and Samuel seem to be the backup options with Rod Jones gone. I need a bit to look up the snaps for each guy on the year but Wilson averages about 1.75 more yards per touch from scrimmage. Punt returns seem to be Marshall's now, though Penn State was a debacle and I'm surprised Urban didn't rip his head off for mouthing off after Greene's fumble. I see Wilson and Marshall as complements to each other...amazing how much talent we're getting out of the 2013 class in their 1st/2nd seasons.
