Wilson, a defensive captain, is also trying to lead in his own way by making sure he's bringing the right approach to walkthroughs and taking care of his own game. He met with linebackers coach Mike Hodges after Monday night's game and asked him what he needs to improve on out of the first four games.
"I wrote those down on my iPad to make sure they're in the forefront of my mind going into the week," Wilson said. "Continue to try and be clean. In the walkthrough reps, we're trying to make sure we're not just going through the motions. Using good technique in the walkthroughs. Make sure that stuff translates into the game on Sunday and not getting lazy in the walkthrough."
So far so good.
"We're preparing the right way," Wilson said. "We're trying to be clean in our practices with our run fits. That's one thing that will take care of itself. When you have guys continuing to show up, continuing to put in the work every day."
