Can C Gamble regain his form?

I really have not read alot of positive comments about Gamble from some of you at training camp.Is Rivera trying to inspire Gamble or does he really look like a shutdown corner? We sure are paying him as one.

Not sure what you are "hearing from TC". However, Gamble has only practiced one day.

I think Gamble will have a much better year. I believe that last year a lot of our vets didn't give it their all because of how our season was heading. With a new offense and better Defensive line, Gamble will improve. The offense was so bad last year it kept our defense on the field too long and wore them down, This year hopefully would be different.

Also when does Gambles contract run out?

It appears he has a hamstring problem which is not good.Those take a while to completely recover from.

Practices he missed were primarily due to an intestinal virus.

He did tweak his hamstring, but I don't think it is severe enough to call a hamstring problem.

revis & aso come close

Sure they are definitely some of the best in the business, but imo neither could shut down Larry Fitzgerald 1 on 1.

To be effective against him, Gamble will need help from the safeties and lb's, as well as good pressure against the qb. And even then, he might still get burned on occassion.

I think you are correct. I believe that a lot of Gamble's problem last year was mental. Losing and going out there realizing you have virtually no chance of winning does that.

    • Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

    • The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
