I was a coach in college and High School but thanks for dummies book. I don't know why it was directed at my comment about Siran Neal. Its clear that Benford and Jackson will be the starters moving forward. If your argument is that Neal is a boundary corner vs Elam who is a field corner and Elam will get in before Neal about that then maybe you should explain that.

He won't be starting, but he should be active. Are there any whispers about this? 1 hour ago, Teddy KGB said: Bump, this man starting now or he on the drugs and the outs ? Any rumors, or wild guess?

I didn't I was just responding to the previous poster who just explained himself. I thought his argument was Elam was a field corner. I'll be honest, I'm probably not the guy to give love to Elam regardless. I hated the pick and he hasn't proven me wrong. I didn't love Torrence pick either and he has shut me up real good though.

DapperCam Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 If Elam is healthy scratched again this week, then we'll really know that something funky is up. Otherwise I think we can apply Occam's Razor, and assume he was just outplayed by the players ahead of him on the depth chart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Elam can't fly to London or he comes down with an injury, there is zero chance he is scratched. Probably no chance he is scratched again this season.

If he gets a chance on another team, it wouldn't shock me if he thrived.

I think they do that at times. I'm still not sure why Dorian Williams isn't being given much of a chance. I'll take his mistakes for long-term growth and a bigger upside, over what we know we're getting w/ Dodson. Elam was bad in London, but that was such a weird game. I thought he improved a lot the next week, and now he's not playing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys just don't fit the 'system' here or something. I know we rail a lot about McDermott's teams being unprepared, but I think this is another one of his failings. He forces a system on players rather than building a system where they can succeed. Chan Gailey, as awful as he was as a head coach for other reasons... made Fitz and Fred Jackson look great. Imagine what a similar coordinator or head coach could do with the talent we have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
