The New England Patriots' newest cornerback, Stephon Gilmore, is going to see some serious overhaul in scheme going from the Buffalo Bills to the New England Patriots, including spending some time defending the slot rather than the right side of the field like he's used to. The Patriots don't assign corners to a side, but rather move them around the formation, electing to play match-ups instead of keeping players in one place (like, for example, the Seahawks and Richard Sherman).
