Love the way Darby plays. Also like the fact that McKelvin will be back in 3 weeks.

One thing I have seen in the past is rookies dropping off some near the end of an NFL season due to the adjustment of a 16 game season. Not sure if it will be an issue for Darby or not but good to know there is depth available.

This is a very good scenario......teams are gonna stop throwing at Darby and start throwing at Gilmore........VERY good thing.

 

McKelvin still has a role here......injuries (and John Rambo)......happen

This. Quality depth is invaluable, and the injury bug bites deep some times.

I liked justin rogers, but i think darby might be as good.

"As good"? He's far better. He's a rookie and so far is playing better than veterans.

After the Aaron Rodgers negative grade for MNF vs. KC, I'm not sure what this means.....

 

‏@Rand_Getlin

Through three games, #Bills CB Ronald Darby is only allowing a 31.8 QB rating when thrown at, per @PFF. Best in the league.

 

as kelly said, that's not a (more subjective) PFF grade - that is a pure statistic like yards per attempt, several other sports media groups should be able to confirm that number.

Nobody truly singles Beckham. Becuase he has better footwork I'd go Darby with safety help. Let Gilmore go one on one with Cruz or randle, which is playing better.

 

I mostly agree with that, but have a slightly different take. I'm pretty sure Cruz primarily works out of the slot. Have Roby take him, since he's so good covering slot receivers, and let Gilmore take on their big, physical receiver Randle on the outside. Have the ultra-athletic Darby cover their deep threat Beckham. Give Darby safety help over the top (though I don't think he'd need it all the time), let the other two play on islands, and get after Manning and stop the run. Gilmore should be able to shut Randle down, Darby plus the occasional safety would leave Beckham having trouble to find space, and occasionally giving Robey some help on Cruz to potentially reduce Cruz's impact, and they'd be stuck with the run game and checkdowns. Other than Gronk, we've been good against TEs recently, so as long as we can have someone match up against their TE, and we continue to stop the run, I think we should be fairly well off on D this coming week.

playing better. Cruz has been out since last year. I'm fine with them playing zone which seems like what they have been doing up until now.

 

I can't wait for McKelvin to get back as we only get better. Darby will be a star in time. I still worry about rookie mistakes as it will happen.

Obviously this won't decide anything but I thought it was interesting

to see how similar their combine numbers were. From Chris Trapasso
