Dragonborn10 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I wonder if Rex's defense is held back from the fact he can not or will not play Gilmore like he did with Revis. I understand Sherman plays only one side too but I thought Rex had his best success with Revis on the opposing top WR. I have not seen many other DCs move the DB's from side to side or man up on the opposing top WR. Just curious what the board thinks about this strategy.

YoloinOhio Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 However they covered him last year - he had 4 catches for 36 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uticaclub Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Revis was a HOF, Gilmore is not. That's why he doesn't play Gilmore like he played Revis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Remember the time Marrone thought it was a swell idea to have Gilmore cover AJ Green with a club on one arm? Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Mixed reviews on Gilmore this season. He wants to paid elite CB money so this will be good litmus test of how he can cover an elite WR. I think he'll do okay considering he'll have little to no help from our inept safeties.

BringBackOrton Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 However they covered him last year - he had 4 catches for 36 yards. Was that the game they didn't punt in the second half? Probably should throw that gameplan in the garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 However they covered him last year - he had 4 catches for 36 yards. Exactly what Rex said yesterday - doubled him the entire game. They've been shifting AJ around more this year so it'll be harder to do that every snap. Communication will be key, have to find him pre-snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsintaiwan Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Gilmore is undoubtedly not having the year he should. Looks like he is playing half-assed against the run in particular. Also half-assed tackling in general. However I would agree with the poster above who noted the safety play. Graham should be playing the deep ball, not Meeks or the since departed Williams. I reckon the signing of the man with the nice Nigerian name who plays the run well signals graham deep. Could be an important change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Angel Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Gilmore just isn't playing physical this year, it seems certian he is playing not to get hurt for his next contract. he is certainly a let down. He is doing us a favor by showing himself as a gutless selfish player so we don't overpay for another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Looks like this is probably going to turn into another bash Gilmore thread instead of discussing how to cover Green. I'm as disappointed as anyone and I've said as much, but he's the only one not benched this week so I'm guessing Rex doesn't see him as the real issue.

Dragonborn10 Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 I think it would be easier to double any WR if you start the game plan with man coverage with your top CB. I understand Gilmore is not Revis but I am curios how much keeping his CBs on their respective sides of the field has affected his defensI've style and play calling.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 They have to give Gilmore help. I think we ought to play more zone coverage too generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) I think we ought to play more zone coverage too generally. well, if you wanted to play to our corners weaknesses, that would probably be one way.

CountDorkula Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Have Corey White cover him, that way we can all stop with this nonsense that White is a savior and make this defense better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I am going to look at this the other way. If i want an green to succeed so I'll plan for him. I plan for him to motion, I plan to bring him inside on the heavy side. With him off the LOS he has an even larger buffer to break free. I'm going to run eifert to the seam or outside flat where he is always going to be a dump off guy and open. The OL shouldn't need much help. An green across the middle is exactly where I am going. A 5 yard to 8 yard pass will turn in to 5-6 yards after catch each time because our LBs will be occupied by rushing or going with the TE or RB. Expose our coverage in the movement and put an green over the middle every time. He will either b a factor or a decoy as the Bengals use play action to beat us up. They have to give Gilmore help. I think we ought to play more zone coverage too generally.if we had competent safeties sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) God i sure hope not. If that's the case, it's going to be a fantasy owners dream whoever has green or dalton Edited November 17, 2016 by billsfan11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Beeeews Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Gilmore shouldn't even be starting let alone being resposible for covering an elite NFL receiver such as AJ Green. Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Quint Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I bet Gilmore plays well this week. Hes not consistently bad, hes inconsistent. And I feel like Green is a receiver he will be amped to line up against. He did well against him before, and with how poorly hes performed in certain games this year, I feel like Gilmore is going to be ready for him. The safeties on the other hand.....
