Does Adrian Wilson have the skillset to play OLB in the 3-4?

[Harry]

Wilson was once a great player. Now he's a good player that occasionally makes great plays. He has lost a step and is more injury prone. He's not the problem on this defense; the lack of a pass rush is. With a good rush Wilson would be a more productive player.

The sad thing is Joey Porter, Stewie Bradley, and Paris Lenon don't have the skill set either.

Personally I think he does.

Physically I agree.

Mentally I think he is a problem on this defense. Both on the field, and in a leadership role.

Sadly, I believe you've hit the nail on the head!

This is the real issue.
