Brandon Beane…..you have to bring in a Corner.

Can’t always just expect guys not even playing to go out and keep the play at a high level. There will be a drop off especially in big games. You lose your best you try to bring in a talent better than an inactive on game day guy. If you can’t oh well. But you at least look.

Steelers traded for Mincah Fitzpatrick from the Dolphins in season.  Completely changed and turned around their D.  
 

Of course Roquon to Baltimore.  
 

Chubb to Miami - tho not sure what he does.  
 


There will be teams by the end of the month going fire sale (by NFL standards) to get a top ten pick.    
 

Look under every rock for a CB that fits what we do.

I agree with all of this, except that Tre hadn’t been back to his old self. He was pretty incredible so far this year. He was playing great again today. Just devastating that he won’t have the opportunity to keep it up.

I thought Tre was really starting to hit his stride. I felt like come playoff time he'd be a force in the secondary. Tough blow for the team, players, and fans.

Yea he was okay weeks 1 and 2 but he was exceptional last week and having a monster game yesterday. So gutted for him.

Yup. Pick last week.  Near pick 6 this week,  tremendous coverage. Freaking stinks but Dane and Benford are very capable.  It's cliche but this D truly strives off guys doing their 1/11th and our communication  , i.q and confidence are off the charts right now

They have Kyran Brown and Jamarcus Ingram on the PS....like you said Elam will now dress.  I dont think they have to panic and find some veteran...they like Bendford, we know what Dane Jackson can do, Elam graded well when he played last year...they are deep there.  I think it is possible for  Tre to IR, Von Miller to the 53 for now.  They have practice squad call ups available too if they need that.

One player I couldnt believe in FA that was signed so late and may be in a situation where he signed to be traded at deadline, is Marcus Peters.  I thought he had a pretty decent year thus far in a pretty bad Raiders D.  I love his attitude too.  Feel like he would fit this team's personality.

 

Talk in Pitt about wanting to go to Porter Jr, Levi may be available soon.

 

I think you roll the next few weeks with what we have, and see what happens at deadline.

We know how this team develops Cornerbacks.  There will probably be some drop-off in secondary play.  But if we keep getting the same kind of pass rush we've gotten the first 4 games, this defense will be totally fine without Tre White.

 

Dane Jackson steps back into the starting lineup.  Kaiir Elam becomes the first off the bench.  JaMarcus Ingram gets called up to the main roster.  A veteran gets signed off the streets.

 

More than worried about the team, I'm more heartbroken for White as a person.  All that work to get himself back.  The last few weeks, he's been looking like himself again.  It just doesn't seem fair.

Agree although I wonder if they will just give that spot to Von? Otherwise they gotta cut a DL.... and are they ready to cut bait with Ford?

 

They might just go Benford, Elam and Jackson with Cam Lewis and Siran Neal as their emergency depth. If someone else went down THEN they'd have to bring in a DB.

Wouldn't they cut Kingsley Jonathan? He hasn't gotten a ton of snaps and they could add him back to the practice squad.

 

The Bills could elevate Ja’Marcus Ingram at CB. He looked pretty good in the preseason for the Bills. Then find a vet to sign to the practice squad to get up to speed.

So, if Beane does trade for a Corner are you guys going to disagree with him doing so the way you have disagreed with me bringing up he should do just that?

Trading for one would be very surprising to me. But anything is possible.

I'm going on a limb and saying no splash move ...

 

Beane and McDermott are wayyy more confident in their DBs than you are... 

 

Playing DB in this system is as much awareness and continuity as it is talent ... the best players this season for our system will be coming in house ... you can't teach years of awareness in the system unfortunately

 

Jackson benford elam..  and jamarcus Ingram prolly coming up as the 4th outside guy

I think you should get a ban for a week for even mentioning Ca….nope, can’t even type his name without throwing up in my mouth 🤮🤮🤮

Cam Lewis is one of the best back end roster players in the NFL

 

You're not finding many 50th guys on rosters that steady

I think we’re fine as long as Benford, Jackson and Elam stay healthy.  I like Ingram on the ps.  Just bring in another 1-2 guys to learn system in case another 2 guys get hurt
 

I wouldn’t trade anyone on the DL. Injuries are bound to happen.

The one that is intriguing to me is Levi Wallace. Unsure if he’s even available but somebody mentioned him earlier. Prorated today he is about $3M.

 

It’s his last year under contract. I wouldn’t give up much of anything. Maybe a 5th for a rental?

 

Otherwise I totally agree with you.
