JerseyBills Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Big Turk said: I view this as more the Bills wanted a vet in place of a rookie down the stretch and are using IR as a way to accomplish it. Most likely Rhodes won't even see the field with White/Elam manning the outside. Good point though. You could do WAYYY worse than Rhodes as a backup cb. He was very good in his prime Edited November 26, 2022 by JerseyBills 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, yesterday at his presser, McD said Benford was week to week with an oblique injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriorspikes51 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Tre and Rhodes need to start. Elam can be rotated in for both of them. Dane can ride the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Xavier Rhodes was my pic for a free agent corner in the off-season to go along with drafting a rookie obviously, hoping that he does well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason they like him over Benford. When guys rotated in, #47 came out. We’ll see how they manage with the injury and promotion of Rhodes.

All our DB's need work locating & breaking up balls. They are always in position but they do not finish. May be opposing WR are physically and technically better than them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau said last year was a long year being a rookie. Curious if Benford is starting to hit that rookie wall as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 5 hours ago, Big Turk said: He has looked better than Benford lately. I view it as they want a vet presence back there because Benford has Ben making too many rookie mistakes. Can't hurt having Tre back and lining up a former pro bowl vet on the other side. Might take some pressure off Dane as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be eligible after four weeks but they would have to free up a roster spot by waiving or IRing someone. There is a chance if Rhodes and white play well they will just leave him there.

All our DB's need work locating & breaking up balls. They are always in position but they do not finish. I'm still a Jackson & Benford fan just because I'm a Bills fan. But I've spent a lot time cursing both those guys - especially Dane - during the course of the season. Neither has been good. Although not as good an athlete, Jackson reminds me a bit of Leodis McKelvin. Even when he has good position, he fails to stop the receiver from catching the ball. Too often though, unlike McKelvin, Jackson doesn't have good position. I was surprised we entered the season with him as our #2 CB (I was hoping for a FA signing) and totally dismayed when he became the #1 with Tre's prolonged absence. Hopefully, with Tre coming back, we won't see Dane lining up against the other team's #1 wideout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
