rookie or not, aj green has been widely considered to be the best talent at wr since megatron. i don't expect gamble to stop elite talent. if he had been beat so badly by jerome simpson on two different occasions i'd be a bit more concerned. he's not an incredible corner but he isn't the "washed up" piece of garbage you're all making him out to be.

Seriously? Did you watch the game? Hopefully you recorded it, b/c he was horrible!

You have the right to your opinion, but he was just embarrassing & he is taking up enough for us to sign 8-9 other corners (not that there would be roster space, but you get my drift) who could play as good or better than him...rookies included.

The DL & OL looked just as embarrassing as Gamble. The LBs looked embarrassing b/c of the DL's weakness too. This looks to be a very LONG season. I hope HUrney picks up some guys cut from other teams & cuts some of our b/c the talent is not there on our DL or DB.

derp yes i watched the game. of course he looked horrible on those plays (and others). i'm just saying that aj green is going to make a lot of average corners look terrible this year and in the years to come.

I don't disagree with you on that at all. The problem is that a lot of average WRs wil prbably make Gamble look terrible too.

I am very concerned about our CBs & DL, both impact 1 another & both look very weak thru 3 pre-season games.

I think it was half Gamble being vastly overrated......and half being WAY out of shape.

I expect Hardy to get abused when he first comes back....Hardy has literally played no football. You can't just insert him and expect him to be ready.

Gamble is a zone CB, and I think a very good one. If you watch his back pedal he really covers a lot of ground, and he his the height and hands to hang with taller recievers. But Gamble needs a good pass rush in a zone scheme to be effective. When the pass rush blows chunks, or you ask him to cover an elite reciever alone, bad things will happen. He's not a shut down CB, he's good zone CB.

I remember Gamble getting beat by Ocho Cinco that one year on 4th and 1..very similar to what was happening to him yesterday..i am pretty sure Marvin Lewis knew he could be him over the top if he had no safety help..and with us getting run on left in right we had to put the safety in the box..easy peasy. So pretty much have to have a saftey over the top of the teams best WR..what else is new?

Gamble got burned on the out of bounds catch by Green badly, but I actually thought he was in position on the TD and the ball was just perfectly thrown. I could be wrong from my low res stream, but that's what it looked like to me.

Do you remember the 2006 game against the Bengals? Panthers led late, had Cincy held to a 4th and 1 around the 40 yard line. The play action and Palmer heaves a bomb to that same corner, Chad Johnson catches it, in bounds, over #20.

He likes getting burnt in that stadium I guess.

gamble had good coverage on the td play. Give credit for a well thrown ball, and a receiver we sure could use on our team.
