Re: Interesting read on Gilmore...
Very nice article. I'm guessing Pettine is just drooling at the prospects of seeing Gilmore in man coverage this season. The article, for anyone who hasn't read it, essentially describes Gilmore as having the potential to be the next great CB in the same mold as Darrell Revis and Richard Sherman. Of course, the difference is Gilmore is younger and has a lot more years ahead of him in the league than Darrell Revis especially. Another difference is that Gilmore seems to be much more of a team guy than Revis ever thought of being. A feather in Buddy Nix's cap to be sure.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Re: Interesting read on Gilmore...
The problem is that being significantly better than the rest of the D, still doesn't tell us how good he is. QBs just have no reason to try and force the ball to his side, because they have at least one other option that is already open. We know he's competent, but we still don't really know what he can do when he's targeted.

Re: Interesting read on Gilmore...
i liked how he bounced back after the first game against the jets last season. he got absolutely torched on one play where he was left diving to try to make up on a TD ball. but then after that game, there wasn't much to complain about from him.
i think if the bills have byrd and him and can somehow just get pressure through creative means and calling the right play at the right moment, you could see a number of INTs. however, i'm still skeptical that they have the talent at LB to help the secondary out much.
and of course, avoid the injuries. that will be key.

Re: Interesting read on Gilmore...
I have high hopes for Gilmore. He played decent as a rookie and hopefully he can take the next step this season. Now we just need to find somebody competent on the other side to pair with him along with re-signing Byrd.
If the rest of your CB's are junk like ours is then everyone can just attack them instead. If we can find someone else to play competent on the other side that would also free Byrd and our safeties up to help stop the run and to also have more chances for INT's.

He was average last year. He led the league in defensive players, all defensive players, in committing penalties, and led the league in committing pass interference penalties too.
With that said, I liked the pick and think he can be real good.

I can see the headlines now if he did pan out that a CB isn't worth 13+ million a year, we have other players that we will need to pay in 2 or 3 years or that we need so save the cap room to sign a couple average dime a dozen bums somewhere else on the roster for 6 million a year each. Hell McKelvin will be approaching FA again by that point and maybe he could be the new Chris Kelsay with him and retain him with a 2nd contract extension.
