Would this be the week to give Elam a chance.

[BigAl2526]

If the Bills were to activate Elam and drop one of their other CBs, the obvious candidate is Cam Lewis.  I'm not being anti-Lewis here.  He's a decent utility type guy in the secondary, but he's undersized and doesn't have special athleticism or anything.  They could probably sign him to the PS.  Elam does have some man coverage skills to go with his plus athleticism.  McDermott used some man coverage in the KC games.  It really depends on what he wants to do scheme wise in the Dallas game.

Elam was clocked at 4.39.   We have no one else on the team this fast.  We will need him to cover Hill later…try to cover Hill.  Activate him

I just assumed that was code for “we didn’t get the offer we wanted”.

 

Id be genuinely surprised if he is on the roster next season.

I honestly don’t believe that the Bills regard him anywhere as high as fans do. 
 

The only way I see this happening is if Hyde can’t go and you replace him with Cam Lewis at S.  Freeing up a spot for Elam to replace him at CB.

Cam Lewis has NO BUSINESS on a NFL roster!!

This isn't true. He is a bottom end of an NFL roster / PS level player. And that is the role he serves.

I agree with you Gunner. To take it a half step further, his ability to play multiple positions make him an ideal candidate to be active on game days. It allows the team some flexibility with other game day decisions.

Elam is finished. They should try to get a late round pick while he has some kind of value. It’s too bad the Chiefs drafted  McDuffie in front of us. 

Expand  

Yep, that pick simply had to be a corner, even if it involved trading up. Screw wide receivers and/or blockers. We needed a first round corner to play in a zone at all costs. 

Now, Tre might be shot due to his injury. Perhaps McDermott and his lapdog will run to the podiun in 2024 and grab another corner in the 1st. It wouldn't surprise me.

Beane has done a damn good job building this team. For every pick people here complain about, there’s 2 excellent picks. In the Elam draft alone, we have 4 solid contributors not named Elam. 
“Cook sucks “ “Cook looks slow”

”Oliver sucks”

”Bernard suck”

”AJ isn’t an nfl player “

”Groot sucks”

There’s more I can note for you, but you get the picture. 
 people like you who don’t know 💩 about drafting, acting like you know what you’re doing. After the fact. 

Every gm has misses. Find one that doesn’t. You can’t.

This would rule out Elam.

Once Gilmore left us - doubtful he would ever return, esp when he was desired by the wealthiest franchise in the game.

Just one more reason why i hope the Bills blow them off the field I can't stand Dallas mainly because of their owners huge ego but when you have a guy like Gilmore on their team it's just added motivation to get the win this week .

We barely had a starting corner on the roster and they had one with a first round grade.

 

Are you arguing they should have taken what they believed to be was a lesser player solely because they weren't a DB?

[gobills404]

Dallas is a top 2 passing offense in the league and they don’t have the dynamic speed at WR that would warrant Elam playing. This honestly might be the worst possible week to play him.
