Are you concerned about Elam?

[Doc]

Nope. Once he gets up to speed, I’m betting he’ll become one of the best CB’s in the NFL.

Benford's performance should be looked at independently.  Elam didn't play as well but that has a lot to do with how good Benford was.  Corners are highly prized.  If one of them turns out great (or very good) and the other ok, regardless of which is which, then we did well.

No, I think it is awesome how these two have both played through the preseason and this first game.  I'm excited for what both of them will bring over the next several years.

What guy?

I love both Bros

Honestly, I am more concerned about Cook. 1st NFL carry and he fumbled. I thought he would be featured a lot more, but threw himself in the dog house immediately which is not good in his case. We all know how McD feels about fumble issues.

Kareem Hunt did the same.  Not sure that's a great endorsement but we'll see.

Nope just wondering how you got the name Einstein?

 

It must have been given sarcastically based upon your posts.

 

🤦‍♂️

 

Did you know that Einstein was often mocked early on because people found his thoughts and theories to be inane?

 

It turned out that his theories were correct, of course, but the lesser intellectually gifted couldn’t interpret it until much time had passed.

 

[wppete]

Not at all. He looked good tonight. Promising future. Exciting.

Why does Benford looking good mean I should be concerned with Elam?

Meh I'm not concerned about any of the rookies. As everyone predicted before the draft it would have been very difficult for any rookie at any position to come in and make a big impact on this roster. Every position already has well established good to great starters. The draft was really just the Bills loading up on their already insane depth.

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

No.

[JaBu]

Elam's strength is playing press, he is still learning how to "effectively" play zone.  Benford's strong suit is zone and as Collingsworth said, the Bills played zone all night. Thus Benford was the best choice to play in tonight's game plan. I'm confident they can coach Elam up to speed as he gains more experience. He has all the physical tools to excel.

He looked fine in his limited playing time. And Benford looking as good as he does is just an added bonus. The more, the better.

With how good Benford looks, and with Elam’s contributions coming partially on special teams tonight, it leads the mind to wonder what other 1st round pick we could have acquired rather than a DB that is a depth player in a backfield that is missing it’s starter.

 

God your threads are trash. You think you know what you’re looking at but you don’t.

[iccrewman112]

I am not worried, especially because Elam was engaged when on the field. Willing tackler and rallying to the ball. All good traits.

No.  Watch the TD to Kupp.  Elam recognizes the zone, passes Kupp to Poyer, then proceeds to cover the WR in the flat.  Pro move.  Not his fault that Kupp did Poyer dry.
