I'm just waiting for it to be changed to "Elam traded to Dallas"

I might do a trade for Mazi Smith..😉🤣

Waste of a pick. Not that he’s bad. It’s that the FO and coaching staff aren’t on the same page with this guy. He doesn’t and never did fit their scheme so someone had to give and apparently the coach has made that decision that he was a wasted pick.

I hope the OP knows the French word for 17, because if no one gets hurt, Elam might be inactive all year.

Good thing it shouldn't get up to 97, French numbers are weird.

@FireChans Why the switch from French to Spanish?

Perhaps with Elam. But there’s mention of Spencer Brown and other players as well. I’m not saying beane didn’t make an error just that it happens. We could fire beane and rehire the last gm we had. 😜

At least the last GM knew how to evaluate talent😎

[Solomon Grundy]

I'm not going to overreact until I see him listed as a healthy scratch against the Dolphins

[Thrivefourfive]

Week 3 update: Elam is more of a major bust right now than he was in week 2

I think they don't trust what he is going to give them on an every play basis yet.

 

McD's D is predicated on all players doing their job all the time...

I respect that probably correct assumption. And the reality is that is an awful grade for a 1st round pick in year two. If Elam’s status changes in the future, great. Right now, oh my god.

Isn't that what most coaches want? Don't you always want your players doing their job all the time?

[maddenboy]

somethin just occured to me.  Watching Benford play.

 

Maybe he is just . . . better than Elam.  

 

Maybe Elam is pretty good in practice.  Maybe there's nothing wrong with Elam.

 

Maybe Benford is just that good. 

[Thrivefourfive]

Benford is bigger and tackles better. We’ll see if McD’s D can hide his weaknesses each and every week. 

[Iverwig]

I get Benford and Elam were taken in the same draft so it kind of eases the pain of Elam not playing. However, not having him active for the first 3 games screams a mistake by Beane and CMcD. Elam has shown in the past he can play but if he’s not playing because he is a man corner instead of a zone corner then it was just a stupid pick. If he’s not playing because of poor practice habits then that’s on Elam and I get it.

Nah.

 

This may be the case if Elam was backing Benford up.

 

But he can’t even get a jersey.

[Your Brown Eye]

Times/games like today would be good for Elam to play during garbage time

[Chaos]

Bills will shock the world when they release the well rested fresh Elam Kracken next week, and watch him completely shut Tyreek Hill down.
