RySkins Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 IMO he should have made it last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_Clone Posted August 20, 2002 Author Share Posted August 20, 2002 I don't think he has ever got the respect he deserves here. People are so eager to lump him in with Dana Bubblebutt. Wilkinson has been a damn good tackle if you ask me. Has he ever missed a game since he's been here? I know his first season here he played every defensive snap.

Zen-like Todd Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Agreed. Commented on it a day or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Wilkinson has been a good, solid DT for much of his stay here, but perhaps not force we might have expected. It's nice to have that spot nailed down. Coming off probably his best year last season makes one think we'll get even better returns over the next few years ... which is exciting considering the other defensive players acquired recently.

Larry Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 If he plays like he did in the 1st Q, he will. I was more impressed with him than with LaVarr!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggins44 Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Big Daddy reminds me of Dave Butz...steady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franchise Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 He should be a Pro-Bowler. He's got no more excuses about being double teamed and taking on too many blockers. This is the year he can show everyone what he's really about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 it was just funny to me when SS dogged him for missing practice, then when Training camp opened, SS just said never mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I agree, it will be doo doo trifling if Big Daddy doesn't make the pro bowl. The only thing that may be standing in his way is the fact that he'll be used primarily as a run stuffer, and not as a sack specialist. Otherwise, I'd say he's a virtual lock.

Carlito Sway Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 With Gardner next to him, it's an even better possibility. But c'mon now, haven't you all heard of the jinx? Damn, I'm a knockin on wood and rubbing leather for all of you. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 The reason Big D doesn't get the respect, from the media, he deserves is b/c he didn't set the world on fire in Cincinnatti as a #1 overall pick as a sophmore. He was considered a phenom and people expected great things, and that usually means championhsips. He was still young and learning the game and is just now coming into his prime He'll have his best season yet as a SKIN this year under Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I think the difference between StubbleFraud and Wilkinson is that Wilkinson was double-teamed which opened holes for other lineman, yet in SF, Bryant Young was the real star and his double-teaming opened holes for StubbleFrauds sacks. Bryant Young was the key to the SF D-line, not StubblFraud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief skin Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Stubblefraud, that sums up his legacy in Washington. he stinks Big Daddy has always worked harder and played circles around that fat piece of $hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Big Daddy's been a the pro-bowl alternate 3 or 4 times now. He's bound to make it sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Diggler Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Goat unfortunetly that has been the case. then again - every skin seems to disappear on the Sundays we play the Cowboys. However, it's the dawning of a new era. :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVERYONE seems to dissappear against the Cowboys, but some of them still go to the pro-bowl. Contrary to the opinion of the majority of Cowboy fans who frequent this board, the Cowboys are not the standard by which all other teams are measured.

NavyDave Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 He will still be double teamed unless gardener is consistent next to him but he has shown he cant split the tag team and make plays in the backfield. Hopefully he will play in enough games to make the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
