Got a chip on his shoulder, trying to prove himself. Not on, 'in'.

26TrapDraw Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I wouldn’t even trade him I’d just cut him. This kid is shot. He has absolutely no confidence and can’t play in the NFL. I know he’s talented but he’s done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLinALLEN Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Maybe we can flip him to the giants for a conditional 7th (condition is he plays 1 snap rest of season). He’s busted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billl Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Just saw that he played 0 defensive snaps and 6 on ST after playing a combined 157 the 2 weeks prior. What gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Serious question- turning into #1 biggest mcbean bust ? wtf makes this guy so useless at football when we see the defense starting safeties at linebacker because they are so talent deficient?

I have a hunch it's not so much on Elam. I thought he played really well when he had his chances last year. Could be a Zack Moss/Teller situation. If he gets a chance on another team, it wouldn't shock me if he thrived. Some guys just don't fit the 'system' here or something. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
