3rdand12 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) There seems to be a different standard for judging McKelvin and Gilmore. If Gilmore had the game McKelvin did vs. the Bears he'd be getting lambasted. But since it's McKelvin he "played well." extreme expectations for Leo are now officially transferred to Stephon .and Graham is now the hero. They are all very capable CBs. Consider us lucky right now Edited September 12, 2014 by 3rdand12
thebandit27 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 I'm usually not a self-quoting kind of dude, but I maintain: This is, IMO, a non-issue. CBs get plenty of snaps in the NFL for every team. Teams play nickel more than 60% of plays now, so every team's base D includes at least 3 CBs. The nice thing is that, when healthy, Buffalo can rotate 3 boundary CBs (Gilmore, Graham, McKelvin) and 2 slot CBs (Graham and Robey) to keep guys fresh. They also have the ability to play Graham as a flex safety if they want to run a big nickel or a dime package. This, of course, isn't accounting for injury. All of them are going to play, so nothing to concern ourselves with IMO.
