boyst Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Half of Rex's playbook was zone--lots of Cover 6, but mixed in 2/3/4 as well. to the average fan that doesn't say much but it's huge. A cover 6 vs a cover 2? Tell me when anyone ever trusted Gilmore to take deep coverage on a speed WR without safety help and how it worked out? Gilmore is a press corner who can cover in many schemes. But cover 5 and 6 are not one of them. Cover 3 is not easy, either. He could look like Revis when he has a safety to rely on. But he can look like old man cromartie when he didn't Sadly, I haven't been in to the X's and O's since marrone and didn't watch much the last few years or this. I'd be curious to watch some all22 but just can't get interested
26CornerBlitz Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 @NoraPrinciotti Stephon Gilmore, Eric Rowe, Harvey Langi absent from #Patriots practice. Elandon Roberts was there, but he also was yesterday when he DNP. @BenVolin Ben Volin Retweeted Nora Princiotti Starting to look like the Patriots won't have either Gilmore or Rowe on Sunday night to cover Julio Jones. That's .... not ideal

Captain_Quint Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Might actually benefit them Gilmore will be traded in the off season Gilmore learned a lot from Dareus. Get drafted high and then make yourself undesirable enough to not be cut or traded based on contract position. Then just sit back and enjoy the ride.

You can call me Mr. Williams, Mario for short.

The Wiz Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Good morning class. I'm your new teacher. You can call me Mr. Williams, Mario for short. coasting until contract year 101

row_33 Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 That's weird, the media told me he was the best corner ever and the pats made us look silly. it's not that, it's that a Bills DB gets a rave review as the best FA coming up (for some reason) this isn't the first time in the last 15 years
Nick the Greek Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 Good morning class. I'm your new teacher. You can call me Mr. Williams, Mario for short.Mario had some great games. I think your statement is a bit unfair.
Bill from NYC Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 Doubt it. He won't be traded because of the cap hit, then again the Pats have tons of that, no? I speculated that he will not be a starter by the end of the season. I stand by this prediction. It is just my respectful opinion that he was never as good as the consensus here purported him to be, and certainly not worthy of a top 10 pick in a draft. Mario had some great games. I think your statement is a bit unfair. Agreed.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 Gilmore will miss his second straight game. Rowe will miss his third after injuring his groin Oct. 1 against the Carolina Panthers. https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/stephon-gilmore/7016 Gilmore is one of the highest paid CB's, but is grading out as below average at the #63 CB right now. Gilmore doesnt suck. Hes just not that great. Yes NE made a mistake paying too much.
CommonCents Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 Mario had some great games. I think your statement is a bit unfair. Of course he had some good games, there is no denying that. Once Rex showed up he quit on the team. It was a mistake to keep him around. A veteran with that amount of success can easily become a cancer when given the ability to influence younger guys who admire him for his past success.
H2o Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 Gilmore will miss his second straight game. Rowe will miss his third after injuring his groin Oct. 1 against the Carolina Panthers. Gilmore doesnt suck. Hes just not that great. Yes NE made a mistake paying too much. I'm not saying he sucks. He is looking like the same old Gilmore even after getting his $60,000,000. It's the same Gilmore we saw here with the mental lapses in coverage. It's looking like they paid top tier money for an average CB. Glad they did
stinky finger Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Might actually benefit them Gilmore will be traded in the off season As a Bills fan you should hope he stays put.
Rubes Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Mario had some great games. I think your statement is a bit unfair. Whatever happened to Mario? Did he retire this offseason? If not, how is he not on any team this year? I realize he's up there in years and hasn't had a good season lately, but it would seem like under the right conditions someone would take a chance on him.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Might actually benefit them Gilmore will be traded in the off season Not at his salary.
