8 minutes of a two player match up tells you how much kirk goes to jefferson typically

Gilmore is one of the most technically sound CBs I’ve ever seen play

[@David-sh6cj]

In this one he was technically sound asleep 😴

[@MegaBenjamin]

@@David-sh6cj what u talking about bro, the snaps they played man Gilmore put straps besides the TD, aside from that most of Jefferson’s Yards were in zone

[@MegaBenjamin]

@@celticsfan4lyfe33 Fr ppl act like they know what their talking about, when a CB plays zone they are usually less aggressive and are playing not to get beat deep. Gilmore in man coverage is a diff animal tho, the snaps that matter in a CB receiver matchup are the man ones

you forget about Darius Slay earlier this year😭 matched up against Jefferson, Jefferson had 6 targets, Slay picked off 2 of the 6 and almost picked off another 3, then broke up the last. slay allowed a 0.0 passer rating matched up against Jefferson.

[@celticsfan4lyfe33]

@@AntwonePerkins u mean bill knows he doesn't need him or anyone on defense because patriots will have one of the best defenses year after year. Look at the Cbs patriots have now doing just fine without Gilmore, there younger and cheaper. For some reason patriots can sign anybody on defense and get the most out of them but when they leave they don't do as good. Gilmore,Kyle van Noy, Judon wasn't this good, jc Jackson was having a terrible season before injury, jabril peppers wasn't this good. Man said bill is cheap like the defense is bad without Gilmore 😂😂

[@AntwonePerkins]

@@celticsfan4lyfe33 I'm a patriots fan... and I know they don't have a number 1 shut down corner.... period. Gilmore was the last one... as he was the defensive player of the year. No corner on the team is close to that level. They might be showing promise... but they are also showing inexperience (ie... Jack Jones). No one on the team could hold Justin Jefferson in that game. No one on our time can hold Devante Adams... or Diggs in Buffalo. That's why a number 1 corner (alpha male) is very beneficial. We don't have that

That hit at 5:50 is brutal. I can see Gilmore is trying to lead with his shoulder. Not necessarily dirty. But his helmet hit the bottom of JJ's facemask, in the air, with Gilmore off the ground too having "launched" at him... definitely a good penalty call. Not necessarily dirty by intention, but brutal-looking and a penalty by rule.

Justin is one of those receivers where he's going to get in the endzone. What the coaches try to do is get mismatches which is why JJ got 123 total yds. There wasn't a single CB that locked down JJ. But you can make a case that Gillmore was among those who made JJ work for it.
