maddenboy Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I guess, (obviously) this is why you never trade Elam Ā The same philosophy for why you always draft at least one every year.Ā especially in this passing league. Ā sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Ā Both Benford and White hurt and I ***** hate it. Ā Not for nothing I do want the guy to be good and I want us to actually get something out of the pick and would have liked him to have gotten on to the actives. Ā But this about the worst way I could imagine it happening, I hope he steps up. Hope Tre gets better and can still be great with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Angel Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I really don't recall his play being that bad last season. I've watched Maybin, McCargo, Mike Williams and it was painfully obvious they where awful but Elam didn't seem like a liability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā This is a Bad Bad Bad take. Ā I don't know why this is so hard to understand.Ā If Elam were awful, unable to play, he wouldn't be on the roster.Ā Ā Elam started 6 games last season and had a completion percentage of 70% against, 2 PD, and 2 INT.Ā For comparison. last season Tre White started 6 games comp % 54.5% against, 6 PD and 1 INT.Ā Dane Jackson 59% over 14 games.Ā Christian Benford, started 5 games, 60.7%, 5 PD, 1 INT. Ā The problem isn't that Elam is awful, the problem is that there are 3 CB on the roster who are better, plus a 4th "emergency" CB in Cam Lewis who can also play safety, nickel, and who regularly plays teams. Ā It's nothing personal, it's personnel.Ā Dane Jackson started last season and got beaten out by Benford.Ā It's not personal, it's personnel Ā Now Tre White is out for the season and Benford is day-to-day. Ā It's a safe bet that Elam will be active on game days going forward, and it's possible he may get the start this week.

SCBills Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) I pretty much have absolute faith in McDermott when it comes to the Defense now.Ā If guys like Elam and Ford can't get a jersey on Gameday, so be it.Ā I'm not questioning it anymore. Ā That being said, Elam has talent.. and has shown that talent on the field in big moments as a rookie.Ā Ā Ā He was arguably one of our best defenders in the playoffs last year.Ā I still have high hopes for Kaiir.Ā Ā Ā Edited October 4, 2023 by SCBills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I love that the options for why Elam hasnt been active are: McDermott has a personal vendetta against him Elam is on drugs Those are the only choices. Couldnt be that he's just been slow to develop considering his skill set was not in line with our scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
