Kaiir Elam is a liability any time he is on the field

It's McDuffie's arm length - 29.75". I looked into this before that draft, not once has McDermott used a draft a pick or a free agency contract on a CB with shorter than 30" arms. It is seemingly a minimum requirement for him. I think he likes his corners, especially outside, to have the ability to cover both areas in under/over conflict situations. Can't do that without long arms.

But he profiled as excelling at what the Bills want their corners to excel at: playing with receivers in front of them, turning hips fluidly, and sound tackling. Perfect for zone.

Calvin Ridley’s last 5 games:

 

KC - 2 rec for 22 yards

HOU - 3 rec for 40 yards

ATL - 2 rex for 38 yards

BUF (Elam) - 7 rec for 122 yards

IND - 3 rec for 24 yards

 

One of these is unlike the others…

He’s supposed to be better at man coverage, so they let him play man, and Slayton runs right by him.....not good.

Last week the excuse was he was going against Ridley. Let’s see what the excuse will be facing one of the worst WR core in the NFL

Trash!

The Chiefs absolutely owned us by jumping up to grab McDuffie over this bum

The first half tonight was pretty damning. How is Elam this bad? I don't remember it being like this last year.

He was, but the entire defensive backfield was bad due to injuries so it didn't stick out as much

Yeahhhhh it’s not lookin great

Yeah but do we know for sure we were taking McDuffie?

Elam would have been better off tripping the WR. Better chance that doesn’t get called

Considering how McD is with coaching up DBs, Elam must be a real turd.

There’s a reason he has been inactive.

Should have drafted Breece Hall instead…

My god this guy is more of a liability than Ryan Gosling was at CB in Remember the Titans

I agree but we probably wouldn't use him. We seem to hate running the ball.

That’s who I pounded the table for all that off-season. 
 

But my second choice was Andrew Booth DB so what do I know lol

[gobills404]

Alright I’m officially done defending Elam. He’s somehow gotten MUCH worse after a full offseason.

ANOTHER SHOTGUN DRAW!!!???
