I don't know if he was blowing smoke, but after the draft Bean claimed that when their pick came up, Elam was the last guy left on the board for whom they had a first round grade.

It generally doesn't happen because a runner can protect himself whereas a guy catching a pass cannot. If I've got the ball and you're looking to take my head off, I can prevent that by juking (a passcatcher can't), changing my pad level (a passcatcher can't), protecting my head with my shoulders (a passcatcher can't), etc. It's about protecting the heads of guys when they're vulnerable and can't protect themselves.

Because the penalty is a hit on a defenseless receiver; that's how the rule is written and enforced It doesn't matter if it's helmet to helmet. It can be forearm to helmet, shoulder to helmet, elbow to helmet, whatever.
-
You can protect yourself as a ballcarrier; a receiver tracking the ball can't. It's a penalty because they have to protect guys' heads, but throwing a kid out of a game for that is flat out wrong. You going to eject a guy in the middle of the AFC championship for playing clean but hard in his own endzone?

He took a lot of hits in the first half of that game last night; the fact that he took fewer in the 2nd half was mostly a function of the Bills breaking out the ground game but was stark enough that he may have had a firm talking to at halftime.
-
He fit comfortably into the Bills defensive scheme. He was conservative, kept everything in front of him, used the sidelines and solid tackling to keep gains to a minimum. He moved well but didn't look quick, seemed to know where he was supposed to be but did not look like he was going to be a playmaker. Was not aggressive attacking the LOS on run plays but that could come with more time and confidence with the team. I'm guessing we're going to see a lot of the 3 top CBs rotating for a while going forward.
-
He probably played at least half the game and imo was moving a LOT better than I expected him to be.

As a guy who wouldn't know any of y'all if you walked by me in the grocery store, it's really weird to suddenly read a post by a guy who you now know what he looks and sounds like. I'm reading this post in my mind, with your voice saying it all really fast while you're flying off the roof of your house. The last syllable even has a Doppler effect while your submerging into a snow bank.- 29 replies

He's 22 and not even a man yet. He's going to hurt somebody eventually.

I’m kind of Over the Hines Experiment
Simon replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think one of the things that makes Hines continue to feel intriguing is that Cook still really hasn't looked like a good ballcarrier yet. He's a better passcatcher than Motor but unless he has a gaping hole even front of him, he cant get into the second level. Hines is probably even a better ballcatcher than Cook and if he can run into the 4 and 6 hole he might be a better option than the rookie right now -
Yeah, it almost feels like they're keeping that part of their game stashed in teh bank, like they do with the run game for long stretches and then torture unprepared teams with it when games get bigger. I can see him being a giant pain in somebody's ass during the first playoff game.

Simon replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don't think that he's comfortable with the offense yet, which means the coaches aren't comfortable with him in the offense. He didn't do himself a lot of favors tonight in the regard but at least they're getting comfortable enough with him enough to try- 275 replies

tl;dr I am Von Rousseau was clearly not healthy tonight and spent 90% of the game holding an edge and protecting himself. Then later in crunch time he started sticking that foot in the ground and getting after people for real. It was the sort of game you occasionally see from another veteran DE that recently entered the Bills locker room.

They get it out when they think they need it. Betcha it goes back in the closet next week.

He did pull off him when he could have killed him. I get that it needs to be a penalty, but there's no reason to throw a guy out of a game for playing hard in the endzone -
