Looks like the Rams figured something out about this defense. Add to that the injuries in the secondary of this safety-centric defense and you have this poor showing.

Benford has All-Pro level numbers if you look at what opposing receivers are being held to every week. These are some good options in this poll. But Benford is my choice.

To be fair, that was the NFL's #1 offense they played today. But yeah, giving up 90 points in 2 weeks isn't good.

Ingram or Elam. Whomever happens to be Rasul's backup.

I may be in the minority here, but right now I'd love to see the Bills run through Houston, Baltimore, and KC on the way to beating the Rams in the Superbowl. Revenge tour 2024. But I guess I'll settle for the Bills beating anyone on the way to a superbowl win.

Gesundheit!

My guess is that he is essentially another safeties coach. Which is a good thing, because I worried about his neck/health every time he made a tackle last season.

Also, 30 years ago we didn't know about CTE. These are well paid athletes, sure, but they're also human beings who deserve some level of protection.

An isolated incident is one thing. He has a pattern of dirty hits. He's lucky he didn't get more.

There would be a tissue shortage in western New York.

Last season, while Mahomes and the Chiefs (and their fans) were crying about the refs correctly calling back the game winning TD for false start, Kelce was giving Josh his props for a hell of a game. Even though it was Kelce's crazy impromptu lateral TD that was called back. He's a dude that respects the game. For comparison, Mahomes complained to Josh about the refs, basically telling Josh, "you just won because of the refs."

Josh Allen?! I heard that guy was overrated...

Shhhhhh...

I appreciate your excellent response. Though I would mention that NFL history is replete with speedy RBs who could not translate their college success to the NFL. Often because they lack the vision or shiftiness that I suggested Samuel may lack. I liked the Samuel signing, and I'm excited to see what he can be in this evolving offense. But so far, screens to him aren't working, where screens to Shakir consistently find success. Perhaps it's lingering effects of the toe injury. I suspect we'll find out as I don't think Brady will stop running Samuel screens. I'm definitely hoping you're correct. Thank you for the discussion. No sarcasm intended.

He's fast, but I don't know that he has the shiftiness or vision to weave through traffic like Shakir does.
