BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 5 games and you want to call him a bust already? Quick the bandwagon is starting to roll out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigc14120 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Gilmore and Williams have not convinced me they are any better than McKelvin. (other than they ARE under contract for next year) Edited October 9, 2012 by bigc14120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmur66 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hell no he is not a bust. But I am not sure he is being put in a position where he can succeed either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Gilmore is 5 games into his rookie season and working with a defensive line and LBs that so far haven't been able to stop anything but the pizza delivery guy. You all probably gave Spiller 3 years. You are using the word bust on Gilmore after 5 games on a **** defense? You people baffle me.

BobChalmers Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 He does always looked confused on the field.. corners take some time. most don't come in and be a shut down guys from day 1. Â You usually see him on TV after they throw his way. Â He's invisible a lot of the time - those are the times he's got him man locked down. Â Worrying about him after 5 games is nuts. Â I admit sometimes he looks confused before the snap - as do a few of the players - that may well be a frustrating consequence of switching to the new scheme - they are all learning it, and new defensive schemes don't usually settle in until the 2nd season. Not what anyone wants to hear - but it's reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbosrrgood Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) The dude just looks clueless out there! I realize it is only 5 games in to his rookie season, but he is not looking like a top ten pick! Just sayin! Â The entire team looks clueless, you are going to pick on the guy who has only played a few games? Â Might want to throw Wanny under the bus first...

Dorkington Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Â The whole team is a bust, man. There's no way you can single out one player at this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabtot Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Think Gilmore is going to take some seasoning. I have been impressed by the way he supports the run. He has much to learn at the corner. I think Aaron Williams look much worse than Gilmore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFLstyle Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Gilmore is 5 games into his rookie season and working with a defensive line and LBs that so far haven't been able to stop anything but the pizza delivery guy. You all probably gave Spiller 3 years. You are using the word bust on Gilmore after 5 games on a **** defense? You people baffle me. Are you kidding me, people around here started calling Spiller a bust as soon as his first game ended against the Dolphins. Â But I agree, five games into the season is ridiculous, no matter how he's played - let alone the fact that he's probably been one of the better players on this defense (not that it's saying much). Â And yeah, like jabtot says, there's a lot more reason to be concerned about Aaron WIlliams right now. Edited October 9, 2012 by CFLstyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 It may be a little difficult to evaluate players in this defensive scheme where everyone is playing to his weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Very few people looked good yesterday, but it's way too early to label Gilmore as a potential bust. Â Gilmore played good against the Patriots. Buddy got at least 3 4-5 year starters from this years draft. All Good. Until of course the contracts are up and they split in FA for a real NFL franchise.

jumbalaya Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 The defensive scheme is a bust. The coverages, or lack thereof, that they call are high school. In this scheme, Dareus, K Williams, M Williams, Kelsay, M Anderson, N Barnett are busts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsburgh Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 he was drafted by the Buffalo Bills, of course he has a greater chance of being a bust.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 ALL rookies are potential busts. Let's give it the usual three years it takes to decide for sure. Early returns are mixed. The good news is he seems to have more trouble with zone responsibilities and soft man coverages than he does press man coverages. I'd rather they just let him play that while everyone else mixes it up. Â GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Pro_Bills Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 From what I've seen Gilmore, for a rookie at a tough position, has pretty much met expectations of a 1st round corner. With some experience and progression he has the potential to be a very good corner. Â I am waiting to see some kind of pass rush before pointing to any specific player in the secondary as the source of the problem. Playing corner for the Bills is like covering a guy playing 2 on 2 street football with a designated QB and no pass rusher. The receivers are zig-zagging around for 20 seconds (running behind cars, setting picks!) and sooner or later they're going to get open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks for the input, I have not watched a lot of him this year! I loved the pick myself but he just seems confused and always looking to his teammates for help? You haven't watched a lot of him this year.....he's only played 5 games so how much have you watched.....and you think he may be a bust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
