The move to slot CB in the NFL is not like a QB being benched. After the Baltimore game, Gay played in 68.5% of the total snaps for the remainder of the season.
But to say the slot CB position, in which Gay was utilized for the remainder of the season, does not get substantially fewer reps than other defensive starters would be incorrect. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ “base” defense is the 3-4, which was utilized under 30% of the time in 2016. Artie Burns took his starting gig during the Nov. “Well, duh, it’s obvious to any fan he did. Have no fear, I will not let the “experts” mislead you any further.įather Time takes his toll on all of us in one form or another, but did Gay lose a step after the 2015 season which saw him give up zero TDs? Too many Pittsburgh Steeler fans listen to what “experts” spout off, or insiders say, instead of digging into the tape themselves. Two words for all of this: HORSE PUCKY!!! “Did you see William Gay get roasted all game long by the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game?” “William Gay’s roster position is in jeopardy, and he could become a salary cap casualty due to his 2016 play.”
“William Gay was beaten like a drum in 2016.”
