RenoNVBillsfan Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Only 6 games in, is it too early for Elam to make a case for DROY? Forgive but is there another DB - or another defensive rookie, period- who has had a bigger impact, defensively? Looking forward to seeing his stats at the halfway point.

Rc2catch Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Have you watched sauce play? I hate to hype the Jets but that kid has been phenomenal. And just for Iron Maiden breece looks like a possible leader for oroy so far.

BuffBillsForLife Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 It's understandable that nobody watches Jets games, but Sauce has been playing at an all-pro level the entire season and has DPOTY on lock unless he goes down. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenoNVBillsfan Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 Gardner is impressive but I like Elam’s progression in a short amount of time. Plus, the Bills DL pressure and offensive assault will surely have opposing QB’s forced to pass to keep within striking distance. If Elam has 6-8 Ints as a rookie and low pass completion %, we’ll revisit this. 😉 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I’ve been hearing the linebacker in JAX was leading - Devin Lloyd. But with team success comes more attention, so it sounds like Gardner has overtaken him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusty shackleford Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Don’t think so based on how the Bills are going to use him this year. He has the potential to be great but they have been slow rolling him as much as possible. With White coming back and the rest of the secondary becoming healthy, he just won’t be relied on as much as some of the the other talented guys across the league so his numbers won’t show… maybe next year though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 He's been solid, but not at a DPOY level. As far as rookie cornerbacks go, Sauce Gardner and Tariq Woolen have definitely outperformed Elam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichRiderBills Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) So someone lay down the stats and do a good Elam Gardener comparison. Elam has him on several stats, with less playing time. IMO OP is not crazy ELAM is a top candidate.... especially if he can continue to get picks. IMO he is doing great...and eventually folks are going to stop looking his way. So happy with him when I was not a full believer. No matter what, major media NYC Sauce will already have a leg up. Time will tell, but if Elam keeps playing well he may be kissing a more prized trophy in Feb.

If he was part of the plan, he probably would have been on the roster earlier. I don't think he plays a down for us.

TheyCallMeAndy Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Ehhhhh I don’t think so. Opposing QBs are 71% (bad), 10.5 YPC (good), 2 TDs and 2 INTs.
