Dak if Daron doesn’t get another defensive TD. Gilmore won dpoy with 6 ints and two tds. Daron is already at 7 and 5 tds and best grade against among CBs with over 50 snaps
Gilmore didn't win that DPOY because of his picks. He won it because he'd shut down half of the field. It takes a lot for a cb to win DPOY.
That’s right NFL QBs, Daron Bland is not a shutdown corner. Please keep throwing his way. Thank you.
I think the point is not that Bland isn't great, but that that reducing the conversation to purely those numbers - which is what the post u/DiseaseRidden was responding to is doing - is a disingenuous argument.
Gilmore has had a big role in the development of our CBs this year. Diggs said so after camp, and even Ceedee says he's improved by facing Gilmore in practice.
Still can't believe the Colts didn't wait to trade Gilmore. Had to figure they could have gotten a little more at the deadline when teams lose guys due to injury/believe they are a corner away. Guy is still a solid corner and truly is one of those players that can make younger players better
Is he really that good? Surprised I haven’t heard his name til last night. They filled a massive hole with Diggs out.
Well, in all of NFL history no one has ever returned 5 interceptions for touchdowns in a single season and Bland did it in 11 games. As a backup.
Especially on out routes.
