Brand J Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Surprised no one is talking about this. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Gilmore-wanted-Fitzgerald-matchup/9459092e-4c56-45ad-a9ca-c772f47149a3 After a shaky opener, he's been much more sound in coverage. Gotta love the confidence from the rook! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love the confidence from the rook! Gilmore looks rough out there. Until you consider he's a rookie, with the other corner being a 2nd year guy, first starting, and the linebackers in front of them suuuuuuuuuuuuck..... In which case, he's not doing too badly, considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I was just going to post this. Well done, Stephon! I was really excited with the pick on draft day and I think he's starting to prove himself. Now if he could just keep a hold of that football when he gets his hands on it... The Cowboys are suckers for trading up to get Claiborne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Love Fitzgerald too giving him words of encouragment. The guy epitomizes class. It's funny how great players approach the game differently. I mean, can you imagine Ray Lewis walking up to the opposing QB after a loss and saying "Great game, man. Keep at it. Congrats."? Yet, when I hear that it came from Fitzgerald, it seems completely natural. Oh, and I think Gilmore is going to be a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I'll keep saying... Gilmore is the CJ Spiller of DB's. CJ came in and had a rough time his first year,,,took some time to adjust to the NFL. Same with Gilmore. In years 2 & 3, Gilmore will be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt and Catavolos knew Gilmore would see his fair share of Fitzgerald as the Cardinals’ split end, but didn’t commit to having him follow the All-Pro receiver all over the field. Indeed! Allowing Barnett to cover him was a much better idea! lets just hope he will see his next contract up here..... What part of Nix/Whaley's track record with the Bills would lead you to believe he wont? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobChalmers Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) It's funny how great players approach the game differently. I mean, can you imagine Ray Lewis walking up to the opposing QB after a loss and saying "Great game, man. Keep at it. Congrats."? Yet, when I hear that it came from Fitzgerald, it seems completely natural. I think some of that is the position - WR's are just never quite as intense about the outcome of a game, I suspect in large part because they are the most dependent players on the field. A WR knows he needs a decent throw from the QB, who needs time from the OL, and the WR knows he needs to be in a play-call where he is somewhere high in the list of reads. On defense, a MLB is captaining the defense and hitting somebody 30+ times a game (not all tackles, obviously, but taking on blocks, etc.) 10 touches is an amazing day for a WR - QB's are involved with everything of course, and starting RB's are looking at 25-35 touches. It's just impossible for a WR to be as invested in the game - they have to accept that they can only do so much. Just a theory, but I am running with it!

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Not for nothing but if I am Wandstadt I line up Gilmore against best WR of opposition wherever he is. I don't car if wid eleft, wide right, in the slot or in ht efn backfield. Why limit him if he is effective, especially since Fitz was in slot and killin us at times...

Damond Talbot Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 What do you guys think about this, you have to love that competitive nature from the rookie.
