Gilmores injury: out 6 to 8 weeks

I am working on something. Something I hope Pettine knows about. A 33 stack defense putting three safeties on the field - Bryan Scott, Duke Williams, and jairus byrd. It can be Searcy instead of Scott. Williams back at cb. And with many Lawson stacked over to cover.

This would be primarily a zone scheme. Carrington would get snaps with kwilliams at sde while McWilliams makes wde Dareus in the middle Alonso adjusted to weoght

Wow this could mean we'll see the return of Aaron Williams to outside corner, and keep Brooks in the slot?

 

id say unlikely, though in 3 safety sets and even in base defense you will likely still see him in coverage similar to a corner at times regardless of gilmore.

Sad to hear. One of the things I was really looking forward to this year was watching Gilmore's progression from year 1 to year 2. I love watching Corners play man-to-man, In the Skin's preseason game, one play Gilmore was in Aldrick Robinson hip pocket on a comeback route, you could tell Gilmore was anticipating which what route was coming based on his early break, I assumed he knew this by watching the QB's drop + he had help over the top anyway Gilmore' drops what should have been a sure INT. But to me the play spoke to the promise and all the rave reviews Gimore has been getting in camp.

I honestly think it's more likely to see Duke Williams get time at CB than Aaron...If Aaron is moved now you're screwing up 2 positions...I'm sure AW be an emergency CB though...But I'm kind of hoping that's as close to CB he gets... B-)

Completely agree!

@buffalobills

Marrone on Gilmore & why no short-term IR: "We believe he'll be back sooner than 8 weeks." Don't want to miss game action if he's healthy.

It def sucks but hopefully whoever fills in will be better for it and the team will be better in the long run...

 

At least its not lower body injury. ACL or something.

 

I'm more hopeful that we can finish this season strong as opposed to starting hot and then coming back down to earth. This isn't a playoff team yet anyway no matter how optimistic you are.
