GunnerBill Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 6 hours ago, Success said: 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. In fairness to Dodson (who was terrible in London) he actually played pretty well when he came in on Sunday. I get the "rather take my lumps with the higher upside rookie" point. I agree. But the Bills with the injuries they have on that side of the ball clearly feel like they can't afford too many learning on the job guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 7 hours ago, Billl said: Just saw that he played 0 defensive snaps and 6 on ST after playing a combined 157 the 2 weeks prior. What gives? That's because he's third on the depth chart at outside corner and Benford was injured in London while Jackson was injured against the Giants. Chiefs fans man. Try to keep up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaB Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 He’s in McDs doghouse. They all are pretty bad. Dane was getting hosed by Zay before he got hurt. Benford might make one play a game but gets called for PI 2 or 3 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyndonvilleBill Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) I put Elam on the AJ Epenesa track (or at least McD is). Bring him in, try to change him for a couple of years and then realize, you should have just left him alone and play to his strengths. Maybe he'll be better next year.😁 Edited October 25, 2023 by LyndonvilleBill 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His awareness is pretty bad. You could see it from the stands against the giants. It’s a massive whiff of a pick. Dude is really athletic, but he’s not a good football player.

Captain_Quint Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Leodis McKelvin had more football sense than Elam has. At least he could return kicks (and sometimes not fumble them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Elams interception in the end zone was a huge momentum changer. Bills could have lost the game without that play. And Elam really redeemed himself.... before the interception he looked lost, allowing a big catch and then commitng a penalty to set up 1st and goal.

I said it somewhere else - but that interception is the kind of play that changes career trajectory. I hope that gives him the confidence back that he can be an nfl corner. Often it seems it’s 90% mental, 10% physical. He has all the physical tools. Just go do your thing with confidence. Time will tell…but man I was happy to see him ball out yesterday after the interception. james cook had a similar breakout this year. He was nothing. Fumbled. Rode the pine. Then had a HUGE game - now look at him. keep rolling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
