mrags Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Just curious why I haven't seen this anywhere. I heard that he was going to have an MRI tomorrow. Still have no idea what even happened to him. Anyone have any info on this? And why the hell are we talking about Matt Leinart as a 3rd QB taking reps in most likely the last few weeks of preseason until we're all healthy in week 1 instead of key starters that are out?

White Linen Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 You're right it hasn't been talked about but I bet most of us are thinking about it. It's the most important thing that happened today.

YoloinOhio Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Well he's not going to catch it, that's for sure! If he could catch, he would be a WR.

It was the first thing I thought about when I woke up this morning. If he's out for an extended period of time, it could get ugly early. Other than ej, he's our monst important player IMO. I don't really care about how we played yesterday, but the a serious injury to gilmore would cripple our defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris heff Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Gilmore can't catch anyway so he can play with a hurt hand. Gilmore is a big strong corner, an important part of his game is disrupting WR route before it starts. He needs his hands to do this. I'd really like to know what is going on with Gilmore, Manuel and Kolb. We are thin at corner, losing Gilmore for an extended period of time would be bad and are we really looking at Tuel starting against New England?

People forgot about him in the first two preseason games because he seemed invisible--but that's because he was blanketing his receiver and they were never throwing his way. I'm not sure I'd list him as our most important player, ex-Manuel--I think CJ, SJ and possibly Mario fill that role ahead of him, but he's darn close and we've really got no one behind him. I'll feel a whole lot better if someone can tell us soon that he won't miss any time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our current #2s are having difficulties covering #2-6 WRs. I could Cj being more important because he's a game breaker, but I like our depth at rb, WR and DL more so than at CB, hence why I honk he's the most important. Especially in a blitzing defense. I think our cbs would get scorched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 C'mon, DBs don't need wrists! Just tape it up. He'll be fine; he can club down the ball if he has to! Exactly. You don't run on your hands do you? Is it me or are the coaches ignoring Butler's play? He seems to be the 2nd best CB on the team. I think we have 1 on the cusp of elite, 1 on the potential side of solid then 3 adequate (Brooks, McKelvin and Robey) I think that you are vastly overestimating the talent in the secondary. I would say that the Bills have 1 average starting NFL corner (Gilmore) and the rest of the CB candidates are below average to poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurmasThoman Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 any word at all today? no news is good news? im assuming if he tore ligaments in his wrist, we'd know by now? (are there even ligaments in your wrist, lol?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffalOhio Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 He got hurt by Aaron Williams. Williams came in like a missle and Gilmore's left arm was between the flying Williams and the receiver. First thing I thought is oh crap, that's friendly fire. Sure enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Gilmore is on the verge of stardom, his stats the last 8 games were almost Revis like...all camp its been reported that Gilmore had been completely shutting down whoever is across from him, and if he allowed a completion it was a perfectly thrown pass where he was in great coverage... I will post his stats for the last 8 games of last year when I get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have 1 on the cusp of elite, 1 on the potential side of solid then 3 adequate (Brooks, McKelvin and Robey) He's played ok. I like him. I thinkg we're in trouble if he's our best corner.

I don't think he's looked nearly good as Brooks though, who is still getting much better, essentially going into his rookie year. Unless he turns his game up a few notches, I can't envision Rogers beating out butler. He was god awful last year. I thought he had some promise after his rookie year, but his play last year was enough for me to give up on the kid. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't look at the secondary stats, gotta look at the stats of the receivers he covered.

Bufcomments Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Really Im more concerned with Gilmore's injury , almost as much as E.J. 's . With less than 2 weeks before the opener we could be without our 2 most important players, both E.J. and Gilmore. Man, when will we get some luck ??
