Part of that is being on a bad team that doesn't get calls. Part of that is now being an established guy who gets the benefit of the doubt. Part of that is now being on the Pats who not only get good team calls but Pats calls. Part of that was that he also played against the pats twice a year. 1

If yes, could you please name top 10 for instance and looking at that list confirm that you think that Tre is better than any of them? To answer your question, I honestly do watch other NFL games every week, but I don’t focus on corners 100 percent . So I do say my opinion a little bit loosely. Basing it mostly off watching Tre, and experts opinions who do watch other corners more closely than I do 1

From his rookie year he laid the wood on some RBs He was far from soft and I always called him an all pro while here.. every scouting report of Gilmore is littered with how physical he is The one thing that Tre had to show he could do in the NFL is stop the run because he WASN'T PHYSICAL at LSU. He could cover all day but not tackle consistently, he has seemed to correct that Gilmore from SC through his whole NFL career is the exact opposite of a soft corner He hurt Eddie Lacy on a collision before that knocked him out as well.. 250 Eddie Lacy.. that might make you think twice Physical sure, he’s not shy about battling it out w/his man...I’m more talking about his off ball game. Average tackler, won’t hold point of attack well, just not a real strong base in run support/off ball imo. He still isn’t really interested in anything other than covering his man, even now w/Patriots...he still gets arm blocked downfield. But in coverage the guy does that very well and always has. I said his game is more finesse, I certainly wouldn’t call him soft as he is a top db no doubt.

I said his game is more finesse, I certainly wouldn’t call him soft as he is a top db no doubt. Run support is the equivalent of blocking for a WR. It's extremely important to the game and coaches and the outcome, just not to stats and fans. There are tons of allegedly great CBs who are not great in run support. And it should be a huge factor. Tre is excellent. Gilmore was not great but not horrible either. It used to make me laugh, however, when fans would say he was a ***** or afraid of contact or getting hurt when he would come flying up and try to bury his shoulder into the runner instead of wrapping his arms around him. Sometimes the runner would just bounce off him and continue running, but it's the opposite of trying not to get hurt or being a *****. Chances are much greater you get hurt doing that than just tackling. It was just dumb. 1

He single handedly changed the whole flow of the game..... twice He has ice in his veins. Big Time CB.. His rookie year he iced the game @ATL and had a huge FF vs TB and iced the game vs KC last year. Special player. Great teammate as well

Can we just have ONE game like the Patriots where we go up 24 points early and it's never even in doubt? I'm all good with winning no matter how it comes, but the stress level was a bit high today.

Point taken, I want that too. I believe that games like that will happen for the Bills. This team still has more to learn, and rough games like this will happen, and winning is a lot better than losing. 1
Bferra13 Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 When does said call happen? Or did they just say **** it and give it to Gilmore before the Pats even play since this turned into a Tre v Gilmore thread?

Julio got 4 catches for 69 yards on him yesterday and was basically just outrunning him. I figured it would have been Peters since he had the pick-6 on Wilson and the Ravens won the game. I guess they have to keep that LA hype-machine going somehow. You know, beating a crappy Atlanta team carries so much more weight than a 5-1 team on the road where you make a big play.

Yeah but Deion wanted to find out who his doctor was cause he has an MRI coming up....he asked him how he recovered so fast from a bad back and they were laughing it up...Ramsey said his doctor has those hot hands like Mr. Miyagi... Obvious Ramsey was faking injuries to be traded
