I get the desire to save the wear and tear. I also get that the earlier in the game it is the more disciplined the defense is to contain the read option, I do. But...
Wilson reminds me of what I see in a lot of fighters, both boxing and MMA. Many fighters will come out tight. They jump in jab and jump back, reset, over react to a fake, leap sideways reset, look, head bob, hop back, reset. etc, etc, etc,,, It isn't until they finally get popped by a shot that waters their eyes that they finally let the leather fly and start throwing in combinations. After that first hard hit they stop worrying so much about it.
I think Danger Russ comes out tight. It's telling to me that his accuracy gets so much better in the two minute drill. It just so happens that the two minute drill is when Bevell cuts loose with the read option. I think a couple trips around the corner gets Wilson's blood pumping and he stops over thinking, goes with his instincts and just lets it flow.
