Had high hopes for Tyree Wilson, adding him to a lineup with Crosby and Jones was looking like a nice edge rush.
With Jones gone we have still not asked for much out of Wilson, and he still seems to be behind the 8ball. Has improved getting off the line but his football IQ just does not seem to be there.
By this point I would expect to see raw talent with lack of feel for the pro game. But neither has presented him self. Recently read his scouting report out of college and it was fairly accurate, slow off the ball, disappears at times…
Not much has been mentioned of him in pressers, or any mention of him working hard by coaches or Crosby when they have been asked. All in all disappointed to see his transition in the pros so far.
Hope the guy is just acclimating to his injury but seems like he’s lacking work ethic.
Our fanbase has created the “he wasn’t supposed to be good!” narrative, similar to what we had with Clelin Ferrel.
Being a Raiders fan is a pathological disorder complete with its own symptoms. I’ve named this one “First Round Bust Maladjustment Disorder”
Seriously though I’m expecting nothing from this dude. He can’t even seem to handle stopping to talk to the media, as pointed out by a couple of Raiders media beat people. The fact that Maxx speaks highly of so many other players on defense and never says a peep about Tyree. I’ll gladly eat crow if he suddenly starts playing like he belongs on a NFL team. But for now I’m chalking him up to yet another wasted 1st rounder.
