I think this might be overestimating Benford. He hasn’t beaten out Jackson who is OK, but they did want to replace him.

The schedule is very tough, the division is extremely strong. I would not be too surprised if 10-7 wins the division due to the competition level.

He might show up on the practice squad.

There is a lot of truth in what you said here and it absolutely matters that the Bills are contenders, so throwing a rookie in to learn on the job isn’t where this team is. Now, if they were coming off a 4-12 season looking to be good in a couple of years, the picture would be much different. However, regarding Elam - he is a 1st round pick running behind the guy they drafted him to replace (Dane Jackson) AND behind the 6th round pick from the same year (Benford). I got roasted a couple weeks ago for suggesting that they might consider trading Elam while he still has *some* value, but maybe now that the depth chart is pretty set they should revisit that. I absolutely don’t think they should play Elam ahead of Jackson or Benford if he doesn’t earn it, but it is becoming apparent that they don’t think he is a fit here, so see what they can get.

Dane Jackson and Benford will not look good playing man to man and Elam is no longer an option.

I’m not sure Elam would be on the field with the 2nd team.

Bernard is their only hope because Dodson/Klein/Spector aren’t the answer. It isn’t encouraging that Bernard could not convincingly step ahead of Dodson in camp before his hamstring injury.

Dawkins might be a nice guy and he used to be pretty good, but man have some pride as a pro athlete - his body looks like he retired 15 years ago.

Nice knowing you Darrynton Evans.

Allen won’t last 3 weeks behind this set of OTs

This is a total sh#t show.

I think we’ve seen enough of Barkley.

You can’t. All you can do is hope that Allen can carry them.

You should reconsider. He is bad.

The first team defense didn’t play that well against the Steelers 2nd teamers.

And Elam looks like a bad bust.

Basham is playing pretty well.

Yep

Klein is NOT the answer.

Really horrible pass. Get on the horn to find a backup.

I don’t think he will get cut. What is your point?

Elam will be sitting 3rd string.

No, you read that he is not proven enough to not have to win a job. That’s diff than he should be cut.

Good gad Barkley.

3/5 of the starting OL can’t even block Steelers 2nd team.
