Ya Digg? Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 For those of you that wanted him traded for anything earlier this year, how’s that 6th round pick and bag of footballs you wanted looking right now? 1 1 Quote

C'mon... the fact even you think he'd only garner a 6th round pick speaks VOLUMES. He was a 1st round pick just last year! To think he'd only attract a 6th tells you just how much he's under performed, and in such a short amount of time. 1 Quote

They wouldn’t even dress until too many injuries forced them to. come on! I read somewhere that he was bothered by an ankle injury. 9 minutes ago, BigDingus said: C'mon... the fact even you think he'd only garner a 6th round pick speaks VOLUMES.

Coach's decision or injury related. When thrust into duty, he has produced. 1 Quote

Think about how long that ridiculous thread was about trading him. People were willing to accept such little return just to get rid of him. There were many who said they would take a 6th just so he wasn’t on the team any more. That’s why they aren’t GMs, they would be out of a job so fast 1 2 Quote

Coach's decision or injury related. When thrust into duty, he has produced. Are you saying he hasn't played a single game since he was drafted? I was talking about his career up until this point. Me saying "under performed" was being generous. If you think a CB drafted in the 1st round just last year would only net you a 6th round pick by this year's trade deadline, he MASSIVELY under performed. Even if he had sat on the bench the entire time, most teams would think a 1st round talent, only 1 year removed from being drafted, would be worth more than a 6th. Quote
Thrivefourfive Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Elam is still lost out there. A opponent not throwing his way is a major fail on any offense. I watched him on a play where Pittsburgh runs a left WR on a skinny post route, and runs another guy to the left flat. Elam turns around and chases the deep guy even though the safety is all over that WR, and Rudolph is NEVER GOING TO MAKE THAT THROW. So the ball goes to the flat, Elam spins around and can’t make the tackle in space. His pick came in close quarters with nothing else for Elam to do but defend it. However. He looked super athletic turning around that quickly AND catching the ball. Give him that. He's no first round pick. This was a bad bad draft pick. Quote

Elam is a playmaker who has displayed elite talent in spot duty. Quick reaction skills. The guy has two EZ picks in limited action. 1 Quote

JerseyBills Posted January 17 Posted January 17 considering Douglas plays and Benfordviscout, who yall think they go with? Dane or Elam? And can either play slot if Taron is inactive? Nonetheless, great depth 1 Quote

Ed Reed & Ronnie Lott have the all-time lead with 9. It’s not crazy to think a 22 year old with 2 already could end up getting 8 more for the NFL all-time lead. Thats elite level play in spot duty.

GoBills! Posted January 17 Posted January 17 If we got Rasul and a 5th for a 3rd. Makes sense he would have only retuned a 5th or 6th. y’all got any more of those Rasul deals out there? 2 Quote
Big Blitz Posted January 17 Posted January 17 CB 1 in 2024 calling it now. And maybe the rest of these playoffs. 1 Quote

BananaB Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I thought he played alright. Saved a TD by taking a penalty, then took away any points by the pick. When he got ran over by the TE if he went in too fast there is a possibility he misses the tackle and gives up more yards. He stopped a good 3 yards in front of the sticks to make sure he didn’t miss, he just got ran the ***** over. Rather that then a missed tackle pursuing too fast. Quote
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted January 17 Posted January 17 He is capable of making the occasional great play … unfortunately, he’s more than capable of breaking your heart with bone headed penalties and poor positioning. I’d rather have a consistent, dependable guy at the position. That said, he’s all we’ve got so cross your fingers and toes and hope for the best Quote
