Don’t agree with his take here. Thought Poyer played equally as bad if not worse. Several times he gave up big plays in the pass game on deep overs that he had to come out of the roof to cover.
On the bright side Elam looked really good in his run support fits, but did miss two tackles at the LoS.
Elam struggled in man coverage. So much so they moved him to the field for a series before they pulled him. He actually looked at his best when playing press 2. The tapes not as bad as the stat-line. I'd have to go back to the film and track the stats, but I'm almost positive that stat-line is crediting him with at least one reception that wasn't his fault.
Because our defense doesn't match receivers - we play with a field corner and a boundary corner regardless of where receivers go. This has been talked about ad nauseam around here.
