So lets say we sign one of those guys. That means our 1st round pick in Elam would be a back up. Then you would complain our 1st round pick is a back up after White returns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeks 2-4 don’t concern me as much Taron Johnson will be on Kupp since he plays the slot. Edited August 30, 2022 by The Jokeman 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeks 2-4 don’t concern me as much Weeks 1 and 3 are most difficult of those 4 games. Weeks 2 and 4 we should be mostly fine. But again, I don’t worry as much about this staff’s ability to get the best out of its DBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Yeah it sucks but if our front 4 gets to Stafford, we'll be fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playoffs? Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 3 minutes ago, TheProcess said: Expected, but disappointing. Young cats will have to step up. If it’s one thing I don’t worry about with this team, it’s McD, Frazier, and Butler’s ability to coach up the DBs. I’d rather have Tre for the stretch run than game 1 (even with the tough start to the season). I’m a little less optimistic, and I hope my gut feel is wrong. We saw how well our DB’s (without Tre) did in Kansas City. We fared well against garbage QB’s and teams last season. I do believe that inflated the confidence that everyone had in our defense. This is not the case this season, and we’re playing against better QB’s and better teams. If our D Line doesn’t generate some significant pressure (let’s go Von!), or our rookie CB’s don’t light it up for us, let’s just hope JA17 and the offense put up 40+ per game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe we are playing the first four games with 2 rookies and a 7th round young DB as our CBs. We forget about Taron Johnson all the time it seems. Bills have the best safety tandem, top 5 slot CB. They don’t put their boundary CBs on an island. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blank Stare Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I keep hearing on WGR that people don’t think Elam is playing well (at least in relation to Benford). I don’t know what games they’ve been watching, but from what I’ve seen he’s been fine. I like his skill set and temperament at the position. Of course, he’s a rookie and will be tested, but he’s only going to get better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll be fine assuming the offense puts up points. correct… against the Panthers (forgot who was playing QB), the Patriots (Mac), the Falcons (Matty Ice Statue), the Jets (ha!), and the Patsies again. Then we got to a good team, with a good QB and good WR’s…. And they put up 42 on us. Week 1 is Stafford, Kupp, and Robinson… Like I said, I hope my gut feel is wrong! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the area he's still learning Edited August 30, 2022 by Forlorn hope 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) 4 weeks will not make or break season. Will allow us to get the other corners more reps and help with their development. I rather be safe than sorry with Tre and have him ease back into football activities. I think our rush defense will be much stronger this year. I don't see teams running ball down our throats which will allow everyone else to focus on pass coverage and if we can generate sufficient pressure with the front four our secondary should be fine.

If they are playing well, and we are winning games, they will bring Tre back as slowly as needed. They won’t bring White back until he’s ready physically. They need him for the stretch run and playoffs. Besides, this team doesn’t rush players back from major injuries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Get ready for some "bend don't break" cover 2 zone vs the Rams next week. Lots of 6-12 yard catches and trying to take away the big plays. Going to be very frustrating to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I have mixed feelings on this. I guess I would like to see an experienced CB in there while Tre recovers. On the other hand we drafted Elam to be a starter, so let him get his baptism by fire early. Also not like we play strictly mam to man, and we know how good our safety tandem is. But I think it will cause some problems no doubt. Unless Von transforms the pass rush, we might need 35 points the first couple of games. And of course we know they are capable of that.
