Somewhat Expected, but good to see

Assuming he starts vs GB.. who is CB2? Elam or Dane?

A real nice problem especially with Benford at 4.

Gonna say Dane because of McD's fondness for vets over rookies. I'd guess they rotate plenty, though.

I would doubt he would be back full time at first...I would think they kind of ramp him up to speed and rotate him in.

I bet we see a rotation at corner. 

Not only at CB2, buy maybe at CB1 for the first few games that Tre is back, in order to ease him back into game shape.

Once Tre is back to full time CB1 duties, I bet Jackson, Elam, an Benford continue to platoon at CB2 unless and until one of them separates himself from the pack.

Elam

Is this really the case? There’s been plenty of rooks thrown right in there if they have earned it. In this case I think Dane has earned it.

I hope they bring him along slowly. Put him on a pitch count

It’ll be Dane no doubt but White probably only plays a handful of plays. He’ll slowly ramp up.

I havent' watched clsoely enough to verify this but it looks like the Bills use them to strengths.

 

When it was Benford and Elam we used Benford on zone coverage with his ability to read and cover a zone. Elam was used to cover man and deep schemes. Jackson can do both of those equally well to both Elam and Benford. The difference between the former two is that they have higher ceilings and are better at those specific talents than Jackson whom is more well rounded.

 

The rotation you mentioned could be the plan.

Great question?

I think it’s DJ to start. I think Elam and Tre give us the ability to play a lot more man and I expect a healthy increase in snap count as we moved forward. 

[Fetou]

Will be very interested to see how Tre holds up out there. Really hoping that he has a full recovery and gets back to even 90% of where he was before because he was lights out for us

[Virgil]

Why do you assume it's not between Dane and Benford?

[Brand J]

More dime packages coming for sure. Took the Bills forever to get out of nickel, but they have lots of quality DBs.

Why do you assume we all think that way?! (I kid, you didn't quote the individual(s) that you questioned)

[wppete]

I’d wait a few more weeks maybe week 10 or 11 for his return.

Dane, I imagine, but rotational based on matchup. When they're playing split coverage, I think Dane is still the best for that quarters coverage side.

I think Elam has since surpassed Benford based on the plays he's made and his availability, but still pretty even. If we want to look at it like a typical depth chart, I think Benford is back-up to Dane and Elam is back-up to White.
