gtw3 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 It's actually quite amazing how they have weathered this early season barrage of injuries. I can't wait to see 27 back out there again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may catch a ton of flack for this, but if Benford and Elam continued to produce, I don't know that I wouldn't trade Tre in the offseason if the contract allowed it. This is nothing against Tre, but we've been very solid against the pass with our DB's and our schedule only gets easier. The money Tre gets could easily help towards resigning Oliver, Davis, and others. Again, I like Tre a lot, but have we really missed him? Elam got beat up a bit against the Steelers, but he's honestly our 3rd DB at this point behind Dane and Benford. The deep shot to Waddle was on our safeties. Flame away, I know it's coming Tre has 5 years of experience playing high level All Pro football. Benford and Elam have 8 games combined. Seems very early to have a trade Tre White conversation. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 9 hours ago, Sierra Foothills said: The Bills D has given up fewer yards than with Tre last year because the D-line is substantially better. Add Tre to a defense with Von Miller, an improved Greg Rousseau and Daquan Jones there's no telling what heights they'll reach. I was surprised to see you write this Shaw. They won't take one of the best and most highly-paid nickel corners in the league and make him a backup safety. Last year before White was injured in week 12 the Bills were playing man coverage around 38% of the time which is the highest figure in the McDermott era. White was also used in man-zone combo more than ever last year... which allowed him to "travel" with opposing WRs. I disagree with those who say Benford will transition to safety soon. While he's a good fit for safety, corners who can play corner rarely transition to safety until late in their careers after they've lost a step. I view Benford as that unicorn large CB like Richard Sherman who can matchup against players like Mike Evans, Courtland Sutton, and Michael Thomas. They didn't have a new DLine last year and even without counting this year they gave up fewer yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyde and Poyer both played CB their first year in the league and moved to Safety year two with their prior teams. Will Benford or someone else move to safety. Who knows. Will Hyde or Poyer be back? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good CBs are hard to find and if Hyde and Poyer were good CBs they'd still be playing that position. As for next year I'm not convinced Jaquan is gonna be a good safety... I'm more sure Hamlin will be. And it certainly wouldn't surprise me if they drafted a safety. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills should not waste an IR return on him - so my guess is when healthy - he gets cut rather than activated and he will not rejoin this team. I don’t think that they expected him to come up with a hammy issue right out the gate I think it changed things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may also be content to sit on IR just in case something happens late in the season, but with Tre coming back - Rhodes is just no longer a need at all in my opinion.

If the current cb room stays healthy, I don’t see him ever seeing the 53 and not worth wasting an IR return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
