Do we know anything on Benford? That added onto Tre left me feeling in the dumps TBH. Hate to admit it, but im eyeball to eyeball with Fin fans after that injury ughhhhhh

 

Yeah, he returned to the game which led to me breathing a huge sigh of relief. When Tre went down I thought "we could survive this if Benford wasn't getting X-Rays done right now". I thought he was out long term. Him returning was massive. With the way the rest of the D plays, I think we'll be okay with Benford on one side and Jackson and Elam swapping in and out.

He had a few other solid snaps I saw as well. People like to talk smack on him, but the guy can play ball.


My biggest gripe with him were his missed tackles on multiple end arounds. He was lunging and not moving his feet….benefit of the doubt coming in off the bench this week but yes he did make some nice plays while giving up a few others

It's sink or swim time young fella. If being benched for 4 weeks doesn't put a chip on you're shoulder to show up and show out then I doubt anything will. I hate losing Trey but if there is any position I'm confident about with this coaching staff it's at corner back.

 

That's not why they benched him.  He could have showed out any time before now...

We had a 1st round pick - who we know is good - not even suiting up this year.

 

Our depth at CB is great.  And I'm excited that Elam will have an opportunity.  He's a talented player.

He's physically talented.  We play a zone most of the time and if you don't know where you are supposed to be and can't stop grabbing guys it doesn't matter what your 40 time is.  Hopefully the time he's had watching he's been learning also.

I'd actually be interested to see if throwing him out there he could play through some of the mistakes and learn on the field but when you have a really good team you don't usually get those opportunities.

I think this is where the big intrigue is at. Trial by fire can be great for guys, hopefully they mix him in to get some of that through out the year bc he just moved up and is going to see playing time if Tre thing is confirmed

 

God dang, i wish theyd just overturned that 4th & 1 for a first now. Hate playing that game mentally

Benford out Elam starts

Gonna be a chance to show he be,ones for sure.  Both staring CB out hopeful the pass rush can disrupt the passing

Not good.  Pass rush will have to be exceptional. Jax has a very good trio of WRs and they've been there and rested all week. Not the most ideal situation to start our 3rd and 4th string CBs, especially Elam who's been inactive all season.

If everything is able to start clicking for Kaiir and the way Benford has been playing, the future at cb looks really bright.  I'm extremely impressed with Benford and Kaiir has the physical tools, but needs to figure out the mental and gain confidence.
