Yeah, he looked just fine in a couple series after Tre went out. Won't likely be playing a real physical brand of football the next couple weeks though, I'm guessing.

I got that. If it's his achilles as expected, I would expect to draft one as well. But as depth, not a replacement for White or Elam. I'm expecting Elam to fill in for White and to do very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffblue Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 44 minutes ago, Beast said: Elam will be in the lineup but they obviously aren’t enthralled with him. Miller is coming back. That leaves us with a possible DE and draft picks to deal. This Bills team is for real but Beane needs to bring someone in that can keep the quality of play up in the defensive backfield. I agree for the sake of depth. It doesn't have to be a front line player that requires major assets going out the door. In fact, with our DL I'm still comfortable with Benford, Elam, and Jackson. But if one of those guys go down long term? Woof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't screw with the dline depth. we have 4 starting calibre CBs even with Tre going down, thanks to McBeanes drafting and coaching prowess. We are good. Put Tre on IR and up comes Von Miller, pretty fair trade in the NFL world of today, I'd say 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 The way to compensate for losing Tre White is to finally get Stefon Diggs a running mate in the passing game. Three years late is better than never. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but read stuff like this and SMH. Who exactly that would be a sure improvement do you feel is actually available? Do you think the Jets are going to trade us Sauce Gardner or something? The Bills may sign someone, but they had an oversupply problem at CB going into the season Because of being able to keep Von Miller on PUP and stash a LB on IR, they kept 7 CB (11 DB) where they would normally keep 9 or 10. They may decide to just stay at 6 CB (10 DB) and bring back Miller. 4 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: Yep. Here are the future Roster moves Tre to IR von Miller activated from PUP Dane Starts. Elam Active 1st BU Ingram elevated on Game Days The first part is fine. Ingram is not going to be routinely elevated unless someone is dinged.

Nelius Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I'm okay with trusting the process assuming things with Elam don't get extremely weird and he does suit up. Was there any post game confirmation or are we all just kind of assuming it's his turn? Even with Elam it's scary thin. I'm okay with the internal guys, but man, we can't afford to lose a single one, so I'm not opposed to trying to bring somebody in. No idea who though, and I don't know if it's desperation time yet to try and deal a dlineman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriorspikes51 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 No idea why he would ever be made available unless him and Sean Payton have issues… there was a general rumor about Surtain ll Likely not true, but that would be fantastic.

Special K Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 With the strength of the D-line, and how fast they are getting to the QB, the CB's the Bills have on the roster should be sufficient, barring any further injuries. It really sucks for Tre, but I have confidence in Dane and Benford to hold down the starting CB spots......next man up mentality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way I kind of agree, or maybe I just WANT to agree, that Elam is a weapon in waiting who just hasn't suited up on gamedays because he doesn't offer much on Special Teams. Now that there's a major CB injury, however, Elam is next man up due to positional need. And of course his skillset is so different from Benford's, so one could imagine them complimenting each other. Or...not, given the throbbing glare of four consecutive healthy scratches to open his second season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Even if we stay in-house and elevate internally from PS (Ingram/Brown) they still will likely bring in another body to slot into the practice squad. I would expect them to add a more established CB by the deadline because you can't operate under the assumption that no one else will be hurt in the secondary.

SCBills Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) My guess (and hope) is that Elam gets the start moving forward with Benford. I think the staff loves having Jackson as a depth piece.. a guy who is a solid starter when called upon. Benford and Elam have traits though. Benford, size and physicality. Elam, speed and twitch. That being said.. I could see them starting Jackson in London, given the unique circumstances and an opposing offense that can take shots down the field. However, I think sooner, rather than later, they bet on upside and give Elam a chance to win it on the field.

BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I'm actually interested in seeing Elam play, I hope this chance gives him the fire and desire he needs and at times he looks the part. A tall corner, solid strength, he looked more than capable at times so heres to hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
