Zero defensive snaps.

 

I usually trust this staff's personnel decisions but I don't get this one at all.

Zero snaps. 21 overall pick.  This late in season. After showing lots of promise before he was injured. ZERO snaps. With Toast Jackson in there. There is MORE to this story. What the hell could this be???

If there is, I guess we're not supposed to know 🤣

 

It could be anything, a tummy ache, an injury, a personal problem, testing out various different combinations and players in the backfield. I don't think there's anything to worry about, he'll be in there again at some point.

Sorry, that's dumb.

 

Because one guy with one background picks something up simply does not mean that every guy with every background, every capability, and every physical build,  should pick it up as quickly. That's simply not the way it works.

 

It's the way a guy desperate to win an argument and susceptible to confirmation bias argues. But it simply doesn't fit with the real world.

 

Elam dealt with almost all man-to-man in college.

 

Go back and look at the draft reports. It's all over them that Benford was really good in zone. See the difference there?

 

"Excellent in zone coverage, whether he is playing tight or soft coverage."

Each players take differently to Coaching and Coaches need to adjust a bit on the fly when playing young guys with lotsa responsibilities.
Each week is a huge learning curve for the young guys.
