shadowed star wideout DK Metcalf<\/a>, which he has rarely done in his career. <\/p>\nMetcalf only caught one pass with Gardner defending him, according to PFF, and that was an 11-yard grab in which Metcalf caught the ball after it was deflected multiple times. <\/p>\n
Gardner also had two pass breakups.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my career, I was able to do that on a number of occasions, and man, to me, it makes it really easy for the defender because you can really study and hone in on that guy that you\u2019re going against,\u201d Glenn said. \u201cI know that\u2019s exactly what Sauce did, and there are going to be some games where we want him to be able to do that and there are going to be some games where we\u2019re going to say, \u2018play right and left.\u2019 But it depends on the matchup, it depends on what we want to do on defense.\u201d<\/p>\n
However the Jets deploy Gardner, they are going to need their other defensive backs to play better.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, opposing teams will simply stay away from Gardner. <\/p>\n
It worked out pretty well for the Steelers, and now here come the Bills and Allen, who completed at least four passes to five different receivers.<\/p>\n
