Gilmore shadowed #1s. It’s game plan specific, but he did it quite a bit last year. He, and NE’s defense in general, don’t typically have CBs play certain sides and haven’t done so for a while.

Plus, that was Eric Rowe, the Pats’ #4 CB with under 25% of the snaps for most of the season. Using the strategy @ET80 mentioned is actually pretty effective if the team has more than one threat at wideout. NE did that almost exclusively the year that they had Revis/Browner and the year with Aqib Talib. It works reasonably well if the team has capable options outside of their elite weapon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilmore doesn't get recognized as someone who follows the Number 1 but I used him as an example as I feel he is one of the best CB's in the game. I'd trust BB more than most to use his players properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoOrdinary Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Your OP is wrong. Gilmore shadows #1 WRs and did so more than any other CB in the league last year. Ramsey plays in a scheme where he doesn't always shadow the opposing team's #1. Gilmore shadowed 13 times last season to Ramsey's 8 times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does Lattimore rank? I think he only shadowed on special occasions. Edit: Congrats on your first like, you're well on your way!

As I replied above, I don't claim to be a total expert on schemes used by teams, just going off what I thought players did. I was wrong.

Just rediscovered this new version. I use PFF, so unfortunately it is behind a paywall. But Lattimore shadowed 8 times last season. Ramsey actually shadowed 9 times, so I have to edit my post a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
