By the Bill Belichick model, Johnson Bademosi has earned more playing time

While it’s tough to predict when Stephon Gilmore will be able to return from his concussion, one thing seems pretty clear about Johnson Bademosi. At the very least, he’s earned a spot as a rotational player based on his performance.

Bademosi, who has been given an opportunity to fill in during Gilmore’s absence, has performed well. He’s been a sure tackler in the running game and has also handled his assignments whether playing in zone, or taking on man coverage.

Against the Falcons, in his second start, he allowed three completions on four targets for 31 yards with one breakup.
