In Buffalo he gets flags in New England announcers drool over his “coverage skills” Great point, when was drafted he came here a very physical corner, translation is he uses his hands a lot. That one play should have been PI in endzone and the refs let it slide because PATS winning is a great story . You watch him in coverage and always has hands on player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t immediately see this years count but his first year with the pats vs last year here- he had 1 more penalty here but more yards there i suspect he’s in more “let them play and don’t let a flag decide the game” moments these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilmore is a very good CB whose coverage is physical. He's getting away with far more contact now than he ever did in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just forget how much he got away with in his final year here. Don't we remember him mauling Allen Robinson on a key stop to beat the Jags right in front of an official? It's like that with corners. Once you get recognized as a great corner, you get away with more. But as the numbers show, he's actually been penalized more in NE than Buffalo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we're biased, but it's crazy not to think that he's not getting more of a benefit of the doubt now that he's in NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's copped nothing but ***** from this fanbase for 7 years, him and his family have been harrassed no end on social media. I really hope Stephon, Gabrielle and the kids enjoy this one.

Coach Tuesday Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Gilmore was running the Rams' routes last night, which is a testament to his film study and preparation (an overlooked aspect of his game when he was in Buffalo). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Ray Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I honestly believe as a few have mentioned that Gilmore was a good CB in Buffalo who didn't go all out, especially in the run game. Perhaps he was saving himself for free agency, perhaps it was poor coaching, maybe both. But I dont think there is any denying that he is a very good CB now and certainly must get better coaching than he did in Buffalo. I do agree too that he gets away with a little more borderline interference, unless it is obviously blatant. My biggest issue though just goes back to the lack of effort he gave in tackling. I had no issue with his coverage skills while he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can laugh all you want, it’s a fact that really good teams get preferential calls. Theres no way on this Earth that Gilmore is an All Pro. No ***** way.

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 He was always really good. But some fans are stupid and were bitter that he didn’t smile. Clearly, Belichick thought different. Whaley sucks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have run the Rams routes yesterday. whats not mentioned is the holding he does to stay with said player. He gets away with it in NE because of what they are. Ive watched him burned on many plays this year and I haven’t seen most of his games. Hes exactly the same corner he was here. I really liked Gilmore here, but he’s no All Pro, I don’t care what anyone says. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They showed a replay and Romo was like, ehh, I wouldn't have called that in this situation. Rams had just picked up their 3rd first down (one was on a penalty) of the drive after the 16 yard comeback to Cooks. I'm absolutely shocked the pat* benefited from a timely penalty. 4th quarter, other team is finally moving the ball, tie game. Good time for a hold. Yes I'm bitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But dlonce says he’s no all pro and that’s what matters! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
