Charles Tillman appreciation thread

I believe this has been largely lost from last weeks game due to all the drama surrounding Norman and OBJ.

But Tillman had a hell of a game for his first game back, it started with the FF which started the steamrolling by Carolina, and ended with a aptly timed INT in the End-zone, even though the Panthers fumbled on the ensuing possession they were both big time plays from in his first game back after missing some time.

Winston would pick on his replacement the entire game, but you're probably right. The fact that he played every snap shows we have no viable replacement if another corner goes down. Scary.

True. IMO everyone but Stew should play this week until Atlanta's wheels fall off. Next week I think we should be extremely cautious with our defensive guys. Especially the secondary. Let Stew come out and shake some rust off and try to pound them to a quick 2 score lead. If we have a 2 score lead at the half let DA step in and bring home perfection!

Had we not fumbled the read option? Tillman had locked the game up for us! I have heard all week how our D blew the lead. But really that fumble and the blocked kick made all of that possible. Tillman won that game with his ff and int in the endzone. If other teams in the league are looking for clues on how to beat us in that game? They aren't gonna find many. Blunders are not our strong point. So if that's all you've got against us? I am sure Peanut and the guys are more than willing for the challenge! We'll keep pounding, while everyone else keeps Whining. Except the Pats. They'll keep finding new and innovative ways to skirt the rules.

The thing you both are missing is that we've reached critical mass, so to speak. If we win the game this week, sitting starters isn't going to happen unless and until we have a big lead against Tampa. Ron has already said he is going to play starters in the last game to keep them fresh. And, if we win this weekend, we are going to be playing for an undefeated season in week 17 (OH MY GOD LET THAT SINK IN PANTHER FANS!!!).

Point is, if we win against the Falcons, there is no way in hell Ron is going sit the starters. This team wants to make history. Haha.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
