Ethan in Cleveland Posted July 31 Posted July 31 If Elam wins starting CB job then you start to train Benford for safety and keep Douglas at CB. One reason to move Benford to safety is he would be much cheaper to extend than if you had to pay him as a CB. Quote

It looks like Hardy is making plays in the secondary and may be locking up the KR position. Douglas is a beast with natural instincts in the secondary. Seems he'd make a great FS. With safeties going down like flies and our depth CBs--particularly the former 1st rounded-- playing really well, why wouldn't we do this? ...unless Hyde has already agreed to rejoin the team when camp is over. You want to take our best CB, which is our thinnest position maybe on the roster, and move him to S? No disrespect, but that is a hard pass for me Quote

You want Douglas to change positions for one season? Based on a few Elam camp practices? Best case is that he would get the hang of it by the end of this season. SMH Edited July 31 by BarleyNY Quote

Malazan Posted July 31 Posted July 31 3 hours ago, Augie said: If we move Benford to safety too, we’ll have nice depth there. I think Josh Allen has good athleticism and knows how QBs think. Moving him to Safety could really solve the depth problem there. Quote
QCity Posted July 31 Posted July 31 3 hours ago, Logic said: The desire of some Bills fans to move good players from premium positions to less premium positions never ceases to amaze me. Let's call it the "Move Cordy Glenn to Guard" Effect. Josh could make a great TE. Hear me out... 1 Quote

Orlando Buffalo Posted July 31 Posted July 31 If you think Elam is not useful at CB and would be a good safety he can move. You do not change a good player from one to the other. 1 Quote
Don Otreply Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Doing so would create a second problem, outside of our already thin safety group, Douglas has never played safety as a pro to the best of my knowledge, it would be essentially a from scratch learning process for him, that and he is never going to agree to do so, Quote
Ethan in Cleveland Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Don't understand why people criticize others for reasonable suggestions. There are numerous players that have changed positions during their careers. And it's particularly odd considering both Hyde and Poyer were drafted as CBs. Aaron Williams moved to safety. George Wilson moved from WR to safety Quote
