lol. Our guys don’t know our scheme

The coverage scheme is locate the nearest receiver and then attempt to position yourself as far away from the receiver as possible while remaining on the playing field.

Butler is at Nebraska doing the same thing he did to the Bills secondary. Should have made him the bills DC over Babich. The secondary hasn’t been the same since he left. 

in hindsight, this is likely correct.

PFF ranks Elam 61 amongst cornerbacks.  Bills CB's are Taron at 69, Benford at 74, Tre' at 86.  Hairston would be at 39 if he had played enough to qualify.

Anyone who watches football and thinks Elam has been better than any of the Bills CBs this year is bananas. The Bills pass D is actually ok, relatively speaking. It’s the run D that’s the problem. For years, PFF has been penalizing CBs in heavy zone schemes because of the separation numbers. But that is how the D is supposed to be run.
