[News] Crockett Gillmore Calls Tackler A 'Mosquito'

[Maryland]

It's cool because Crockett Gilmore doesn't even need a nickname--his name is cool on its own.

If he could play angry this guy will be unstoppable.

its nice to have a mean streak but playing angry doesnt work.  Why people saying he plays angry??

It's preseason. Everything gets called back in a week or so. But one heck of a play penalty or not! That was my play of the day....

[Halshayeji]

Awesome play. And I like the 360 camera angles.

Totally agree. Those 360 cameras are insane! I remember being a kid and that technology was used for the Ravens Giants Super Bowl. iDK why the NFL got rid of them as other sports like tennis picked up the idea for replays etc...

Glad it's cost effective now 15 years later lol

Croc and our team got hosed in the second half. Also Asa's return should have been a TD scoring opportunity. I wish the Redskins were Divisional rivals so we can get some revenge. Gilmore rules.

Crockett Gilmore is whom I wanted the Ravens to throw the ball to against the pats instead of Torrey! He could have gotten a short pass like this one and bulldozed his way down field getting yds and "RUNNING DOWN" the clock! SMH! Gilmore is "EXPLOSIVE"

I never saw Gillmore really as a threat last season. But when that play happened on Saturday I was flipping out. If he does that consistently and it takes multiple guys to take him down.. I like how he is getting a lot more separation from defenders this year from last and he definitely got bulked up and looks faster (granted his 40 time last year was terrible so only place to go is up). Definitely excited for this guy I picked him up on fantasy because I believe a lot of touchdown passes will be thrown his way.

Killer Croc?

[Krabcake]

My man channeled his inner BEAST MODE on that play. GET. OFF. ME!!!!

He's become one of my favorite players on our team

Our only problem is, a couple years down the road we won't have the cash to keep both Gilmore & Maxx Williams. Because both will be tremendous TE's. Kudos to our draft guys for picking them. Lets enjoy this rare group of TE's we have and be thankful for them while it lasts

He was actually my favorite player on our offense when we first drafted him. I have a knack for seeing potential in guys before everyone else does.

Ball Boy Alert. Last year Crockett's mom was upset that her son didn't keep the TD ball. Gilmore spiked the ball as he was celebrating. No TD ball went home. Fast forward to the current TD called back. Crockett launched another ferocious spike. Since I anticipate Gilmore getting many TD's this season, please alert the ball boys for this specific assignment to retrieve the footballs for Momma Gilmore. Let's hope she needs to buy a bigger shelf unit during Crockett's career.

Love our TE Corps... I think GIlmore is improved... I like what Maxx brings and even more so -what he potentially brings.... I really like BOyle and think he may end up being a steal---- and if Pita can come back and add anything at all... that gives Joe a ton of weapons to defeat an opponent underneath and down the seams... I can see us finally using that two TE sets... that Harbs wanted a few years back!

Crockett Gilmore for President

[EvilWayz]

Gillmore is a tough guy, especially after the catch. We may have a Tod Heap back in Baltimore. I think this kid has tremendous upside. I also think he's only going to get better. If "MAD" Max Williams is ready to play by week 1, I believe that we would have one hell of a TE tandum. Maybe one of the best in the NFL this season.

[EvilWayz]

I love how you guys come up with these nicknames. Joe Cool, Triple "S", Mad Maxx, and so far my favorite Killer Croc.

[Ugly Ball]

Crockett the Rocket Gilmore !

Gilmore.....he came into camp bigger, stronger and faster. That's downright scary. This guy many turn into the best 6th round draft pick in Raven's history. He also might be the most dominant TE in the NFL this year. The way he finished last year was an indicator of what he can do. Denver is in for a shock. Flacco and Trestman will find a dozen ways to get him open and then it's on from there. At 6'6 and 270 there is no defensive LB or DB he can't run over. IMO he could end up being the Raven's MVP and a consensus pro bowl TE. He is sure handed and takes hits after the catch like they are an inconvenience. His "mosquito" quote was priceless but also very accurate. Watching NFL LBs and DBs bounce off him was eye=popping. The good news is it is going to happen again....a lot.

Couldn't agree more.

If Raven's fans liked what Flacco developed with Pitta then they are going to love what he does with Gilmore. IMO Gilmore will become the greatest TE in raven history, all due respect to Heap and Pitta. This guy is super tough and will punish any one that tries to def3end him. He said he was a blocker and that is true, a big time force. When Williams matures, which looks like very soon, they will be the #1 TE tandem in the NFL. With an offensive line like the one we have, we are going to punish defenses and take our time doing it. I will go out on a limb and say Gilmore is unstoppable. I'm sure Joe and Trestman are licking their chops. What I will say for sure is that this will not be a finesse offense. Having Yanda, Wagner and Gilmore lined up on the right side will require a defense to over commit and then the game begins. This is a TE dominated league and the Ravens will set the bar. I cautiously predict 15 TDs and over a 1000 yards for Gilmmore.

[huntrgathrr]

When I see that video I can only think one thing......sick. It's clear that 2 men are require to bring him down and even that is not a guarantee. I'm pissed that the rest of the NFL will get to see this prior to week one. He will draw double coverage all year long but I don't think that will stop him. Forget Perrimamn, Gilmore is the one every DC will fear.
