Doesn't matter to me about the media. I just laugh and make fun of it now. This game is not going to define our season. I hope we make a statement but its about stringing wins together and hitting stride when it matters most.
Dane might be more of a wanting a vet on the active roster type thing, but it's not like Dane is a slouch either. The situation sucks but it is what it is. They drafted a man corner for a zone defense and he didn't learn enough.
I thought they would on occasion use Elam's skills as a man corner. Like even last year I thought they would use him to press the receivers at the line. WRs like Hill or something. I didn't think he looked all that bad out there last year. Looks like its zone or bust for this team. Maybe Benford has just been that good for them. Sometimes you get lucky late. Sometimes first round picks bust. That is true for all teams. I don't think this kid is a bust though. I think maybe he just doesn't fit our defense and they were hoping to make a square peg fit a round hole type of thing.
