So Dane Jackson & Xavier Rhodes show, w/ an eye spy Tre White every now & again. SWEET!

Dane Jackson is getting a little bit too much negativity here.  He's had some bad games LATELY, but has also played pretty exceptionally at times, and had some great games for us.

He's better in press-man than Elam is but with the idea of them running more zone (where Elam is better and Dane struggles) it's something to wonder about.

Well… they have been outsmarting pretty much the whole league for 3 years ….really

Really your right. Minus Hyde and Von a lot of the same. Hope Tre gets some good time in tonight. I think with Oliver playing at a high level and Greg back maybe they don’t need to send a lot.

Wonder if he was slacking at practice. Or maybe Rhodes has looked that good? Who knows. Gonna look really bad though if the secondary is getting killed tonight

Complete d-bag.

BTW, this is because, on the Prime pre-game, he picked the Dolphins to win the AFC East (cause they remind him of the Chiefs.

 

Sherman wasn't much better, he picked the Jets.

 

Fitz just laughed at them & picked the Bills, along with Whitworth.

I expect him to play a lot better with Tre seeing more playing time on the other side hopefully.

Expand  

I hope so, there is a lot less “much worse” than there is “much better” on Dane’s most recent play scale. I’m praying he’s better tonight.

I don't get it, even if he wasn't the starter how isn't he active depth/rotation?

A league source tells me the decision to make Kaiir Elam inactive tonight is not related to either injury or illness. In other words, he's benched. #Bills

 

Sometimes I wonder if this coaching staff has eyes.  It has been very obvious that Jackson has been the worst player on defense multiple weeks this season.  He's shown nothing to have him be deserving of the playing time he keeps getting.  I know Elam hasn't been perfect, but he's been much better overall than Jackson.  Just hoping this means Tre is getting most of the game and Rhodes is holding down the #2 CB position and Jackson rarely sees the field.

I'll say this for the coaching staff - they keep us on our toes!  

 

Never a dull moment.

How many 1st rounders are healthy scratches at this point in season? 

Expand  

Didn’t Marv Levy sit rookies too? I remember something about him saying every rookie starting equated to a loss. Anyone else remember that?
