Are you concerned about Gilmore’s apparent lack of ability to stay healthy enough to actually stay on the damned field?
I am. That’s a deal breaker for me.
He played 64% of the snaps last year according to PFF. When he played he looked good.
So let’s say he only played 60% of snaps this year? What is better? 100% of a Trae Wayne’s or Jackrabbit, or worse? Or 60/40 of Gilmore and a guy like Deayon?
Remember Gilmore could still be influential from the sideline. His experience would be great for the young guys in the same way that Weddles experience paid off.
I feel the same about Wagner. Even if he didn’t play every snap, having Jones play with him will only make Ernest better.
Also I don’t think any team in the league does a better job managing veteran players and their health.
