Vernon Gholston and Kyle Wilson Will See More Snaps Against Cleveland Browns

Rex Ryan said so in his press conference today:

I can see Kyle playing more. Without question, I can see him playing more this week.

....

I just think the way he’s practiced. He’s had some good weeks in a row and I think he’s ready to take on more. The last couple of weeks he’s only had two or three plays on defense. He should play more than that this week. He will play more than that.

....

I think he’s (Gholston) been playing better. I think he earns the right to play more.

Gholston has earned more playing time. He was fantastic in a limited role in Detroit. I'm past the point of hoping for a turning point. I'll believe it when I see it. Even so, finally seeing some sign of life is somewhat encouraging.

Wilson must be impressing in practice, which is clearly a good sign. He looked very tentative and unsure of himself early. I like to hear Rex tell us that Wilson has played his way back into the lineup opposed to him just getting another try because of Drew Coleman's recent stumbles.

I’ve got admit, you’ve got a hellacious group of guys for your defense. I’m suprised at some of the teams that have almost beaten you. Dallas should be the poster child for the rest of the NFL, for what happens when you believe the hype, and dont play as a team. It would be okay if you guys D stinks for the Browns game, then you can comeback and smack everyone else around. Least it sounds good to me. LOL.

No talking. Talking doesn't play football, talking isn't going to make you practice harder or play harder.

JB, Gholston didn’t even record a tackle during his much heralded start against the mighty Detroit Lions. What exactly did he do that fits the description of ‘fantastic’?

Gholston did a fantastic job of turning the runningbacks inside rather than letting them get to the outside and possibly break one. Sure, he didn’t record any tackles but don’t discount his play as a run stopper. He may not tackle the guy but he sure as hell is keeping them from getting anywhere.
