Kwai San Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 1 hour ago, Limeaid said: Billls were an organization bleeding information out and one of the first things Coach McD did before Beane came in as GM was tell staff that leaks would not be tolerated and be grounds for firing. He then put some tidbits out there staged so he would know source and when he found leaks terminated staff members. A good deal of the leaks came from locker rooms and garbage cans. Cool.....was not aware of this but not surprised either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigduke6 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 if Elam was struggling so very badly, i think we'd see Beane trying to make moves right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whorlnut Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 6 minutes ago, Airseven said: The “somebody told me” thing is silly, but these are still facts - Elam was inconsistent in college with raw, undeveloped technique. Plenty of observers weren’t thrilled with the pick. As expected, he’s struggled early in camp. He is not, and never was, dependable as an immediate starter as a rookie. Exactly. Too many people on this board ignore every red flag about a player the second they become a Bill. 3 minutes ago, bigduke6 said: if Elam was struggling so very badly, i think we'd see Beane trying to make moves right now. Or…he’s comfortable going with Jackson and Benford until Tre is back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This FO and coaches don’t talk. and conversely when they DO talk it is straight talk honest takes. McBeane don't seem to be into rote answers. I mean they wont divulge privliged information like idiots. But when I hear what they have to say in reply to questions I dont hear a bunch of smoke or BS answers either.

Einstein Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Georgie said: So...why share an unfounded internet rumor? The BS continues? Little faith in unnamed sources. Because this isn't BuffaloBills.com, where only official news can be posted. This is a forum where we talk about news, rumors, sources, players that we will never sign, players that we will never draft, and more. If threads were restricted to only verified news then post activity would drop by 98% and it would be a very boring place. In my opinion the best way (and this is good advice for all forums, not just this one) to avoid topics you dont like is to ignore them and not post in them. .

JakeFrommStateFarm Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 He's a rookie. He may go on one day to be the next Dion Sanders but it wouldn’t be unusual for him to struggle his rookie season. These things take time.

TBBills Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 4 hours ago, Einstein said: Tough to trust random people on the internet but I found this story from a fan potentially concerning. The fan who wrote this has been a member of that Bills forum for 19 years, so I'm hoping he wouldn't just make this up. "One of the beat writers was at a wedding I was at this past weekend. Not gonna say who. He 'says' that word around camp is that Elam isn’t anywhere near where the Bills had hoped in terms of starting week one or contributing." (link) I know there have been reports that he has struggled at times, but I hadn't yet seen anything that indicates that the Bills are realizing that Elam is just not ready to contribute. Especially upsetting with reports than McDuffie has looked impressive in Chiefs camp. Next time don't drink so much at the wedding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airseven Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The fact Dane didn’t play suggests he’s a starter. Both Elam and Benford made a couple good plays and looked decent overall today. Good to see. Big upside, but early season is a huge concern. Likely concussion protocol for Elam, hopefully precautionary. Liked his jib today! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
