Low Positive Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) 1 minute ago, whorlnut said: Beane should have cut his losses before the season started. It’s got to be humiliating for Elam as a first rounder. Give his the benefit of the doubt and trade him to a team that can use him in their scheme. Instead, we held on to him and now his value is plummeting each week as he’s inactive. Bad look all around. I got curious about this. In 2022, only one team played man at a 50% rate (Saints). Most teams play zone 70% of the time. You can't have a player that tips the coverage just be being in the game.

I think the strong value that culture plays on this administration was really drawn to Elam's sales tactic of bringing his notebook to the combine and he drove it home with that playbook on the plane comment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Cool, we'll need him for the playoffs... Actually, I bet the activate him against the Phins so they can use his speed on those receivers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a comment this offseason about how he would stay up nights stressing about how he could make plays in a zone defense. And I think mentally he gets in his own head. This quote is telling: "Last year, I’m coming in with all these high expectations. Not only from the media and the outsiders, but myself as well. If I saw somebody make a play, I wanted to make two, three of them. And if the results didn’t come, then I already added more pressure to myself. If I F-ed up, I felt like I’m letting people down. I’m letting the G.M., the head coach, I’m letting myself down, I’m letting my family down... First 3-4 weeks of training camp I was very consistent. Making a lot of plays on the ball. I feel like that first preseason, I got that holding call that I was in great position. I don’t think I should have even touched the receiver." - Elam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s probably true, but I’d say a coach like BB got Elam to go with Gonzalez both who excel at man.. the team would then switch to more of a man defense. A good coach plays to his players strengths.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
