YUT !!!
I have seen this discussion on several different boards/forums.
My thoughts:
Can he help them? Yes and No. In the film room he can help them, he can point things out and help them to devise a better idea of what's about to happen on certain downs and distances.
No: Just because you might know what's coming, does not always mean you can stop it. Plus, by the time the formation happens, the defense gets set, the play is already happening...and those helmet microphones are cut off when the offense lines up over the ball. So even if he knows what's about to happen, he can't call it in to the defensive captain, then have the captain call out and make the changes. The game happens to fast for that process to occur.
Now, if Flynn was the starting QB, that might be a different story. Since he practiced against our D and knows tendancies, he would have an edge. I think that it is a good thing that Wilson is the starter. He is young, has not seen a variety of NFL caliber defensive looks, and he might get rattled if he gets knocked around or picked.
your thoughts??
