BigAl2526 Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 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.

kjack151 Posted December 12, 2023 Posted December 12, 2023 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 2 Quote

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.

It allows the team some flexibility with other game day decisions. 1 1 Quote

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. 1 Quote

gobills404 Posted December 12, 2023 Posted December 12, 2023 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. 1 Quote
