Agreed - I see Wilson as a Chris Clemons clone (too bad we let him go). Clemens had 8 sacks for Oakland last year and signed with Philly as a FA, so perhaps Wilson will exceed my 5-7 sack target.

For Mix to be an impact in the red zone, he would probably have to get some of the opportunities that would otherwise go to Cooley. This could happen if Cooley draws coverage, but Mix must gain the trust of Campbell. There are probably more factors that must come into play for Mix to have an impact, but I love his size, and he showed very good speed / athletic ability for a big man on special teams.
