The ankle just sounds like an excuse to IR stash him.

Rhetorical question. Bernard knee. Also on there. These injury reports don’t mean anything. Elam has been full practice. It’s not the ankle folks as the reason he’s healthy scratch. It’s beane manipulating the narrative at the mic. 

He was limited all week 2 weeks ago, full last week but injuries are not alway linear. You can certainly say this is Bean being manipulative if that is your prerogative. 

[Boatdrinks]

Sounds like Elam to IR.. makes sense as Douglas gets on board

[balln]

Look I love BB. He’s the best we’ve had in a long time. 
 

douglas trade was fantastic

 

but elam was a whiff / or he picked the wrong player for the coach system 

 

and the overall talent acquisition 

philosophy has been defense and special teams heavy.

that is a bummer on elam.  I hope he is able to stay on the active roster and get better.

Beane has been generally brutal when it comes to management of the d line, since he has got here. So many bad signings and draft picks. 

 

You are right, we went into this season with 5 vet DTs. We shouldn't be in this bad of shape because of the loss of one of them. 

I just don’t get the Dorian Williams pick - coaches can’t even / choose not to play him. Or Justin - never gonna be anything - shorter. We needed DT depth.

 could be, could be.   Either way,  I like where we are at corner now a lot more than I did 24 hours ago!

Interesting on Elam, I didn’t even consider he might be battling through an injury.   More depth for now at least!

Badly bruised ego.  He read TSW.

It’s a bummer that he hasn’t panned out. He should go to IR as it’s pretty clear he’s not going to contribute to the 2023 campaign.

Poona , settle, and j Phillips…..

 

settle and Phillips. I just can’t believe at how bad they are vs the run. 

Settle is a disappointment, I remember Washington fans were very upset that he left.

 

Phillips is just washed

He has Ed Oliver and then three vet defensive tackles he gave FA deals to on the roster. If he needs more there that is his own fault. 

 

Tim Settle was a miss.  We banked on him breaking out once he's not buried on a roster behind two elite DT's and he has not... at all. 

 

Beane can't predict Jones does down to injury.  That contract, along with Oliver's contract... if Daquan stayed healthy were very much worthy of praise.

 

Phillips and Ford are on cheap deals as vets because we are cap strapped. 

 

I don't know that I can fault Beane a ton for the DT situation.

Also - Douglas BETTER play. This is the freaking NfL. He’s played for 6 teams. We need to win THIS game. You can keep Ty Johnson or Josh Norman off the kickoff team. Spare me. If the bills D is THAT complex then I’m all in on defending elam from these coaches 

How miserable are you?

See hole run through hole. Hopefully it doesn't take them forever to get Fournette involved. He's probably washed but should still be an upgrade over Murray. 

 

 

Fournette is likely more of a piece in the pass and protection game.  Cook has not looked good in protection.  He has ball skills and open field ability.  Fournette may be a good chess piece for the Bills.

Keep Personal stuff out of it

 

its a big game for bills and every other player will play but the guy we traded for at a position of the others teams strength (wr)

[MrEpsYtown]

Douglas needs to play. Every single one of these other deadline acquisitions will get right in there. It is silly if they hold him out and it makes the cost more exorbitant if he sits a game.

Lost their 'whipping boy'? 🤔

Rasul not being active this week is a bit of a mental blow for me.

 

It’s Burrow and the Bengals with a trio of offensive weapons. We really need the CB help.

Beane didn’t say he’d be inactive for the game. He said he’ll leave it up to McD as far as how much he plays (or if he doesn’t). Only thing Rasul might miss this week is the walk-through today.

You don't understand selecting a linebacker in the draft when we were thin at linebacker?  Add it to the list...

[Fleezoid]

Elam battling through an injury? I don't know.....he looked pretty healthy when he was getting scorched on the sidelines.

All 3 are overpaid IMO. Would not have brought Phillips back, would have cut Settle, and Poona has been a disappointment. How many vet DTs has he missed on since being our GM? Needs to own his errors.
