Bleeding Bills Blue Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Without an injury? I don't see it. Benford didn't have his best game in coverage but he forced a fumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronicAndKnuckles Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 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. 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billieve420 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 If not this year he will get another shot in training camp next year barring injury. So you hope this year was related to the ankle injury and he turns the corner. I thought he was showing some promise end of last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnNord Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 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.

BigDingus Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 He's gotten chances. If he's improved, then sure. Give him another shot.

I agree, but to the OP's point, I don't think he's a better option than the CBs ahead of him on the depth chart. I see no reason to suit him up for the Cowboys' game.

BigAl2526 Posted December 11, 2023 Share 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.

It allows the team some flexibility with other game day decisions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 .

gobills404 Posted December 12, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
