He had one in his hand as he came out of the tunnel yesterday, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I realize it's just day 2 and they are likely getting looks at guys in different situations, however Torrence will see his opportunity to take the job IMO. It's up to him to make it so the staff can't justify him coming off the field. Don't know if he can or will but I definitely am not counting him out. He brings something to the line no other OL does. 10 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does definitely show he's got a clear shot at taking the spot though if they're already rotating him in on day 2. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 The endorphin rush, followed by the immediate crash when reading Torrence is running with the 1's ... but so is Dane Jackson. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean what, do you want them to hand Elam the job if he isn't progressing in understanding his role and how to defend in a zone defense well enough? Reports from camp yesterday was that he was giving up receptions in coverage, while running with the 2's. People have a Jones here talking about how McDermott won't play rookies (or young players) for mysterious reasons even though the poor trodden upon rookies are so much better than the guy who is out there. News flash, when rookies have been better than the alternative, they've played. Tre White: 16 starts as a rookie. Dion Dawkins: 11 starts as a rookie Zay Jones: 10 starts as a rookie (no, he wasn't good, but he was better than the alternative) Tre Edmunds: 15 games as a rookie (again, made mistakes, but better than the alternative) Ed Oliver: 7 starts as a rookie, including being benched for a few games. Phillips was better. Cody Ford: 15 starts as a rookie As a team overall improves, and is more attractive to FA, it becomes harder and harder for a rookie to be "better than the alternative" But the truth is, rookies get playing time if they deserve it by being better than the alternative, and lose playing time if they don't. And deserving isn't limited to a few good plays fans see, it means understanding the play call and their role and being in the right place doing the right thing every play.

I think its just that sinking feeling of more wasted draft capital that this team cannot really afford any more of considering how the rest of the conference has been progressing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
