boyst Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I am working on something. Something I hope Pettine knows about. A 33 stack defense putting three safeties on the field - Bryan Scott, Duke Williams, and jairus byrd. It can be Searcy instead of Scott. Williams back at cb. And with many Lawson stacked over to cover. This would be primarily a zone scheme. Carrington would get snaps with kwilliams at sde while McWilliams makes wde Dareus in the middle Alonso adjusted to weoght
Mickey Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I think I will get through this by self medicating.
mattsox Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo2m Bills CB Stephon Gilmore to miss about eight weeks with a hand/wrist issue. Tough one there but hope is he only misses 5-6 games or so. Retweeted by Mark Ludwiczak ughghhghgh Horrible news for Bills fans. Ugh!
Dean Cain Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Wow this could mean we'll see the return of Aaron Williams to outside corner, and keep Brooks in the slot?
26CornerBlitz Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 @buffalobills Marrone: Fractured wrist for Gilmore, requires surgery.
NoSaint Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Wow this could mean we'll see the return of Aaron Williams to outside corner, and keep Brooks in the slot? id say unlikely, though in 3 safety sets and even in base defense you will likely still see him in coverage similar to a corner at times regardless of gilmore.
JuanGuzman Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Sad to hear. One of the things I was really looking forward to this year was watching Gilmore's progression from year 1 to year 2. I love watching Corners play man-to-man, In the Skin's preseason game, one play Gilmore was in Aldrick Robinson hip pocket on a comeback route, you could tell Gilmore was anticipating which what route was coming based on his early break, I assumed he knew this by watching the QB's drop + he had help over the top anyway Gilmore' drops what should have been a sure INT. But to me the play spoke to the promise and all the rave reviews Gimore has been getting in camp.
You herd it hear last Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Time for him to get some illegal Fredc Bilitnekof stickem for his hands/gloves...... better yet, get him some of that super quick healing hand cream from ryan braun
NickelCity Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Buffalo Bills @buffalobillsMarrone: IR-Return won't be considered for Gilmore
Justice Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Wonderful. Just wonderful. If you didn't believe in curses or jinxes I'm sure you do now. The season hasn't even started yet and it feels like it's already over.
GG Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I'm having a brain cramp - who was the Bills' DB a few years back who kept on injuring more Bills than he was making tackles? Not Roy Vincent, but someone else.
KOKBILLS Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Wow this could mean we'll see the return of Aaron Williams to outside corner, and keep Brooks in the slot? I honestly think it's more likely to see Duke Williams get time at CB than Aaron...If Aaron is moved now you're screwing up 2 positions...I'm sure AW be an emergency CB though...But I'm kind of hoping that's as close to CB he gets...
voodoo poonani Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Sheldon Brown is still a free agent. He can't be worse that what we have.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Doesn't the Bills' season usually end in Oct? I always thought it was March. CBF
26CornerBlitz Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Completely agree! I honestly think it's more likely to see Duke Williams get time at CB than Aaron...If Aaron is moved now you're screwing up 2 positions...I'm sure AW be an emergency CB though...But I'm kind of hoping that's as close to CB he gets... @buffalobills Marrone on Gilmore & why no short-term IR: "We believe he'll be back sooner than 8 weeks." Don't want to miss game action if he's healthy.

HeHateMe Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 It def sucks but hopefully whoever fills in will be better for it and the team will be better in the long run... At least its not lower body injury. ACL or something. I'm more hopeful that we can finish this season strong as opposed to starting hot and then coming back down to earth. This isn't a playoff team yet anyway no matter how optimistic you are.
