Brandon Beane…..you have to bring in a Corner.

We can bring in a street guy for now if we get a Tre White roster spot for IR.

 

Agree although I wonder if they will just give that spot to Von? Otherwise they gotta cut a DL.... and are they ready to cut bait with Ford?

 

They might just go Benford, Elam and Jackson with Cam Lewis and Siran Neal as their emergency depth. If someone else went down THEN they'd have to bring in a DB.

Completely disagree with the OP. We were fine last year without Tre. We went 13-3 with him being a shell of himself. He really hasn’t been all pro Tre since before his acl injury. These guys are experienced. Let it play out. 

He has been great this year.  How did Hill do today?

[Beast]

Well, we have a bunch of players at DE and one is about to sit.

 

I am sticking with my take. The Bills need to make a move soon. Having a good DE not dressing does this team no good.

[BillsFanForever19]

If Benford was out for a long period of time, I'd be thinking the same thing. But since he returned and appears to be fine, it's not as dire as I originally thought when Tre went down. We went into this season with really good depth at CB. Hell, many fans were suggesting we should trade a guy in Training Camp.

 

They're going to roll with Christian Benford, Dane Jackson, and Kaiir Elam (with Taron Johnson on the inside).

 

Here's hoping Elam being a healthy scratch had more to do with Benford beating him out at CB2 and McDermott preferring the experience of Dane at the last outside CB active on Sunday's than it does his actual ability (or assumed lacktherof).

 

And there isn't going to be a CB available on the market that they are going to prefer over the guys they have had in house. Teams don't trade stud CB's often. When they do it's usually for a BOUNTY and involving a guy that they know they won't be able to re-sign.

They managed 7 wins without Tre last year with a couple of rookie CBs. Not concerned, but they probably will need another CB. 

McDermott is a wizard at this position, I still hate this though.

[SCBills]

Our Front 7 (DL, LB’s and Nickel) are so good that we just need Elam or Jackson to be solid outside and this is an absolutely elite defense. 
 

I agree we need another CB signed or brought up to the active roster, but Benford, Jackson and Elam is likely the group moving forward … and should be given the chance to show they are the answer, post-Tre.

Beane has the easiest job in the world.  No other GM has a place to go to get advice like TBD

[Dr.Sack]

Elam is moving up the depth chart.

It's so much easier to say "trade for a (insert position here)" then it is to actually make a trade. A player needs to be available and even if he is, more often than not the team holds on to them.

 

Who is available at CB that could make a difference? I don't know of anyone that's been talked about at the CB position.

They'll bring in somebody for depth, but they're not goingo t waste assets in a hopeless attempt to replace what Tre White does.

Waste assets?

 

This team is good enough to win a Super Bowl this season.

 

Bringing in a CB in an attempt to do so is not wasting assets.

Give me a phone and 31 other GM’s phone numbers and I will have an answer for you.

Elam will be in the lineup but they obviously aren’t enthralled with him.

 

Miller is coming back.

 

That leaves us with a possible DE and draft picks to deal.

 

This Bills team is for real but Beane needs to bring someone in that can keep the quality of play up in the defensive backfield.

 

Elam will be just fine. He played very well by the end of the year last year.

If you cough up draft picks or DE's to acquire a corner that can't do what Tre can do anyways, you're wasting assets

[MPT]

They'll sign someone for depth, but a 1st round draft pick should suffice as a starter for now. Dane Jackson is also not a scrub.

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Will need to draft his replacement though

 

 

[HurlyBurly51]

Tre and the safeties work so well together, Elam won't be able to replace that but he will be serviceable if not more.

Benford is really showing out, too.

It’s Kaiers time let’s see what he has the trade deadline isn’t till Halloween. More than enough time to see what he has.
