HappyDays Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I'm positive we are hiding Benford on IR to sign the better player to the active roster. Great move. 6 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it’s part of the reasoning but at least it allows them to get a better look at Rhodes to see if we’re better off with he or Benford as depth come playoffs.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I’d take my chances with Elam and Rhodes at this point over Dane Jackson. And I was a big Dane Jackson fan up until 3 weeks ago. They are going to start calling him Dane Cook’d soon if you don’t get him off the field 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great move. Stash Benford on IR with White/Elam/Dane/Rhodes on the active roster. Could keep him there all year if they choose. In fact, they very well might. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Some fans here just can't be happy. Success has brought expectations to completely unrealistic levels. Not too many 6th round rookie CBs are going to get the job done as a starter, especially with the schedule we played. Lets not forget that with Tre out Benford started the year as the #2 CB, he was ahead of Elam. Everyone here liked him for awhile, then the pass rush went from great to ok, and now he and all of our CBs look average at best - which is exactly what they are. He is a promising player and he might project better as a safety. 13 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephilim17 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Benford has already outperformed his draft status. I hope the kid heals up soon and continues to grow and contribute where the coaches see fit. 6 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely Rhodes won't even see the field with White/Elam manning the outside. Good point though. You could do WAYYY worse than Rhodes as a backup cb.

I view it as they want a vet presence back there because Benford has Ben making too many rookie mistakes. Can't hurt having Tre back and lining up a former pro bowl vet on the other side.

He will be eligible after four weeks but they would have to free up a roster spot by waiving or IRing someone. There is a chance if Rhodes and white play well they will just leave him there.

All our DB's need work locating & breaking up balls. They are always in position but they do not finish. I'm still a Jackson & Benford fan just because I'm a Bills fan. But I've spent a lot time cursing both those guys - especially Dane - during the course of the season. Neither has been good. Although not as good an athlete, Jackson reminds me a bit of Leodis McKelvin. Even when he has good position, he fails to stop the receiver from catching the ball. Too often though, unlike McKelvin, Jackson doesn't have good position. I was surprised we entered the season with him as our #2 CB (I was hoping for a FA signing) and totally dismayed when he became the #1 with Tre's prolonged absence. Hopefully, with Tre coming back, we won't see Dane lining up against the other team's #1 wideout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
