Gamble

Recommended Posts

Although he had help over the top I though he did a very good job on Fitz, only gave up three receptions to perhaps the best WR in the game.

He also had a couple of nice tackles against the run right around the LOS. Impressed with him, really thought Fitz would kill us.

Secondary as a whole played pretty well if you take away the blown coverages. Better than I anticipated.

He played well but that last completion he gave up was inexcusable... I could see that poo coming before the ball was even snapped. There was no question they were going to Fitz and Gamble let him run right by....

that last completion was NOT Gamble's fault.

He got a decent jam at the LOS and was right there with Fitz. It was a beautifully thrown ball and the safety was late coming over.

He wasn't right there or he could have made a play on the ball....Fitz had him beat by two steps. Maybe that's nitpicking but for as much money as Gamble is getting paid I think it's fair to nitpick....

Fitz runs by a lot of people. You have to have help on that type of route and the help got there late. Not that Gamble played well on that play, but with a guy like Fitz, you just hope to contain him, you can't really shut him down.

Fwiw, the play turned out to be irrelevant anyway. We still got the ball in scoring position with plenty of time, but failed to get it in the endzone.

He WAS right there with Fitz....the BEST WR in the game.

Your expectation of a corner completely shutting down the best WR in the game on every play is laughable. You MUST have saftey help on that route...and Sherod Martin was late coming over.

Gamble did a very nice job on Fitz today.

    • The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.
    • That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.   
    • I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
