Plenty of value on the field but no longer a guy who puts WRs on an island. I disagree with you guys. It looks to me like Tre is improving every week and getting close to the player he was pre-injury. JMO. 6 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a great play down the field on what would’ve been a big pass play, he got his hand between the receiver’s hands and knocked the ball away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players can’t walk, much less run?😬 I agree with your statement 100% which, with all the Drs, lawyers, coaches and otherwise gurus on this board, we SHOULD all know the answers.

Dablitzkrieg Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 The only thing I'm concerned with Elam is that this stubborn coaching staff won't start him next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Elam needs to be CB 1 on press man coverage vs other teams top WR. Let the rookie lock em up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we got a little bit of everything here The point I’m trying to make us you’re not going to see the actual Tre this year, but people that say that he lost a step just infuriate me. He has not lost a step. He is slowly working his way back while he is playing from a major injury every passing game he looks a little better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeTime101 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I see in Miami podcasts today that they upset with Hill because a rookie CB won lots of man on man situations. Elam is going to eventually be our #1 some day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elam would effectively be a "second year guy" by now if they had just let him play and learn throughout the season. They are finally starting to see the light with Cook. Maybe Dorsey will even dial up a pass to him this week. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 On almost any other team both Elam & Cook would be starting over the guys we have. This team is too cautious with rookies more often than not. Let them play and learn. Both would be even better if they were starters by week 8 this year. 8 minutes ago, Bob Chandler's Hands said: The bias of this coaching staff against rookies seems to get worse each year.

He’s going to go with the veterans first on a playoff team always unless there is a significant talent difference. I personally think that Elon brings a skill set that we can really use to walk down a speed player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfanatic8989 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Elam should be starting. Forget about rookies vs veterans. You put the best players out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you draft a guy like that in the 1st, you play him. He was still very impressive against Hill and will need a similar performance against Chase this week.
