Einstein Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) - Among all NFL cornerbacks, Christian Benford ranks 6th for having the lowest passer rating when targeted. - The Raiders targeted Benford 4 times and he allowed only 1 reception for 18 yards (source) - Dane Jackson and Ed Oliver are both in the top 25 in the NFL among all defensive players (all positions) in run stop % (source). - Spencer Brown is currently our highest graded RUN blocker. He is also our lowest graded PASS blocker (source). - Matt Milano is tied for 1st overall in the NFL in pass coverage from the LB position (source). - Bernard's average depth of tackle is 0.8 ... Milano's is 1.7. Tremaine Edmunds is 3.8 😉 (source) - Josh Allen has been pressured 25 times in two games. This includes times when the line failed, and also times when he created his own problems.

Success Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Some really good stuff in there. I have watched Benford a lot in the games so far. He's the real deal, imo. A true late round gem. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 Just now, HOUSE said: He never should have given up that one reception Agreed. We should cut him and bring in Leodis McKelvin. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBonhamRocks Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Yeah but Edmunds is so tall and has such a large wingspan he needs to make tackles that deep. Plus imagine how many pass lanes he clogs up all the way back there. 1 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its almost a 1st down every 3 downs. Whereas 3 downs might leave them at 4 and 7 with Bernard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the real deal, imo. A true late round gem. Now we just need White to get back to his good play. Unfortunately it probably won’t ever happen. We should be doing something with Elam. He could be the future if this team as CB 1 or 2 on the other side of Benford. it’s terrible that he’s been shelved for the first 2 games of the year. He played fairly well when called upon last year. 2 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPL Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I like Benford a lot. I think we should also keep in mind that we've played Zach Wilson and a Raiders team that only ran 40 offensive plays. That's going to skew some data. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t played a QB that will challenge CBs yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GottaRun Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I can't do this anymore.... Either Bernard or Benford has to change their name. I'm not smart enough to figure this out in one season. 3 5 16 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(oh crap, I meant Benford)" Or the other way around. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the real deal, imo. A true late round gem. Unlike Levi Wallace, who accomplished everything he did with mental preparation and technique, Benford actually has some athleticism and size too meld with his mental preparation and technique. If he ends up being the starter across from Tre White long term, I think the Bills will be fine. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
