Gamecock1 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) First off, congrats on picking Gilmore--I hope he works out for you. He's a heck of an athlete, and you don't have to worry about any off the field issues with him. I registered with this site, because I wanted to clear something up. I realize that it may have seemed to you guys, that Stephon wasn't happy with the pick, based on his demeanor. I can assure you that whatever Stephon's thoughts were, you can't tell much from looking at him. I've followed stephon's career for 4 years now, and I can tell you that the little smile he cracked when he held up his jersey is about the biggest smile I've ever seen him crack. He's quiet and very reserved, and I wouldn't wouldn't read anything into his reaction. Anyway, good luck to you guys, if there's anything else you want to know, feel free to ask.

Welcome, glad to have you here. Since you have followed him extensively and have knowledge on how he plays (unlike the people bashing the pick on here) could you tell us your thoughts on his strengths and weaknesses? I'm looking forward to your insight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thank you for the insight. The pick was a surprise, but I have faith in the current administration. Go Bills. And Dawgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed83HOF Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Paul Peck @PeckOnSports Gilmore stat: Last 3 seasons, team completed only 18% of passes thrown in his area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamecock1 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thanks for stopping by. How is he in coverage overall? He looks to be a great tackler but i don't know much about his coverage skills It's hard to say. He's good in man, but with zone our safeties were super unreliable up until last year. He routinely wouldn't have help over the top when he expected to. I think if you don't ask too much of him, he can be VERY good. But if you ask him to make up for deficiencies in your defensive backfield(no idea how strong or weak your secondary is) Man up he IS very good, and he's EXCELLENT against the run. He's also DEADLY on the corner blitz, he gets there fast and hits hard. Do I think he was worth a top 10 pick? Frankly, no, but I'm also mildly disgusted that Alshon fell out of the first round--so I guess my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt.

When do you expect to replace him on the same level that he played at SC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamecock1 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 In his interview, he mentioned covering AJ and Julio Jones. How did he do against them? As well as anybody, I'd say. There certainly aren't any highlights out there of either of them burning him that I'm aware of. AJ never really did much against us, Julio had a big day against us in 10, but again that was due mostly to atrocious Safety play. The only guy who ever really lit Stephon up, Ironically, was Riley Cooper in Stephon's freshmon year. Guy just toasted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00tabaga Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 @Gamecock1: Why did Jeffery's production get cut in half? In 2010 he was a top 10 talent. Was it weight? QB play??? Thanks for your input bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamecock1 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Welcome and thanks for coming aboard. So, do we have new Bills fans tonight? I can't say that. I learned long ago not to jump on the bandwagon of a team because they drafted one of your players. I really started following Minnesota when they drafted Sidney Rice and when their fans started talk ish about him, I got really angry about it, and then realized "you know, I don't think I'm a minnesota fan" I'll certainly follow you guys with a great deal of increased interest though, if that's any consolation.
