But the next farthest guy out was inside our tackle. “I knew their linebackers would go for the fake into the line. When they did, there was no way they had time to get out far enough to cover Mike.’’ Edwards was confident enough to stay with his quarterback when things weren’t going as scheduled. The decision proved to be the right one. “I never considered pulling Wil son,” Edwards said. “He had only practiced two weeks and had lost 20 pounds since his operation (an ap pendectomy two months ago). Yes terday he had a virus and his tem perature was 102. “But I knew things were going to get better after he settled down. No one had laid a hand on him in the past two weeks and he had to gain confidence that he could get hit and not get killed.” As a precaution, Wilson was fitted with a flak jacket similar to the one worn by the Houston Oilers’ quar terback Dan Pastorini. After the game, Wilson removed the jacket and found out that one side of the inflated protector had collapsed. “It popped when Jacob Green hit me once,” Wilson said. “Why doesn’t someone take this over and tell Jacob he owes us $300.
