Warcodered Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 The ankle just sounds like an excuse to IR stash him. 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEBills Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Just now, balln said: Rhetorical question. Bernard knee. Also on there. These injury reports don’t mean anything. Elam has been full practice. It’s not the ankle folks as the reason he’s healthy scratch. It’s beane manipulating the narrative at the mic. He was limited all week 2 weeks ago, full last week but injuries are not alway linear. You can certainly say this is Bean being manipulative if that is your prerogative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Sounds like Elam to IR.. makes sense as Douglas gets on board 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balln Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) Look I love BB. He’s the best we’ve had in a long time. douglas trade was fantastic but elam was a whiff / or he picked the wrong player for the coach system and the overall talent acquisition philosophy has been defense and special teams heavy.

MikePJ76 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 that is a bummer on elam. I hope he is able to stay on the active roster and get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many bad signings and draft picks. You are right, we went into this season with 5 vet DTs. We shouldn't be in this bad of shape because of the loss of one of them. I just don’t get the Dorian Williams pick - coaches can’t even / choose not to play him. Or Justin - never gonna be anything - shorter. We needed DT depth.

More depth for now at least! Badly bruised ego. He read TSW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bummer that he hasn’t panned out. He should go to IR as it’s pretty clear he’s not going to contribute to the 2023 campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 9 minutes ago, balln said: Poona , settle, and j Phillips….. settle and Phillips. I just can’t believe at how bad they are vs the run. Settle is a disappointment, I remember Washington fans were very upset that he left. Phillips is just washed 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 10 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: He has Ed Oliver and then three vet defensive tackles he gave FA deals to on the roster. If he needs more there that is his own fault. Tim Settle was a miss. We banked on him breaking out once he's not buried on a roster behind two elite DT's and he has not... at all. Beane can't predict Jones does down to injury. That contract, along with Oliver's contract... if Daquan stayed healthy were very much worthy of praise. Phillips and Ford are on cheap deals as vets because we are cap strapped. I don't know that I can fault Beane a ton for the DT situation. 5 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 20 minutes ago, balln said: Also - Douglas BETTER play. This is the freaking NfL. He’s played for 6 teams. We need to win THIS game. You can keep Ty Johnson or Josh Norman off the kickoff team. Spare me. If the bills D is THAT complex then I’m all in on defending elam from these coaches How miserable are you? 1 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 22 minutes ago, Process said: See hole run through hole. Hopefully it doesn't take them forever to get Fournette involved. He's probably washed but should still be an upgrade over Murray. Fournette is likely more of a piece in the pass and protection game. Cook has not looked good in protection. He has ball skills and open field ability. Fournette may be a good chess piece for the Bills. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Douglas needs to play. Every single one of these other deadline acquisitions will get right in there. It is silly if they hold him out and it makes the cost more exorbitant if he sits a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 17 minutes ago, Einstein said: Rasul not being active this week is a bit of a mental blow for me. It’s Burrow and the Bengals with a trio of offensive weapons. We really need the CB help. Beane didn’t say he’d be inactive for the game. He said he’ll leave it up to McD as far as how much he plays (or if he doesn’t). Only thing Rasul might miss this week is the walk-through today. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleezoid Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Elam battling through an injury? I don't know.....he looked pretty healthy when he was getting scorched on the sidelines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can’t believe at how bad they are vs the run. All 3 are overpaid IMO. Would not have brought Phillips back, would have cut Settle, and Poona has been a disappointment. How many vet DTs has he missed on since being our GM? Needs to own his errors. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
