Trentwannabe Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 Depth charts for pre season are pretty meaningless but a few interesting Tidbits here. I haven't seen anything about whether starters will play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfaninptown Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) So is Dane Jackson 3rd in the CB2 race? Most practice reports have said that he has played the most snaps at CB2. Also Tommy Doyle is the backup LT, but Quessenberry has been the primary back up camp so far. A couple other head scratchers too. Sometimes McDermott gets a little too cute.

I think In these two particular cases it’s “we know what we have in Dane and Quess, let’s see how Doyle and Benford/Elam do against higher competition and live game action.

Good point. Maybe they also want to showcase some fringe roster guys for a potential trade like Beane has done numerous times in the past on some players he was going to cut.

DER10N92 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) It bothers me if Dane Jackson is the best we can do at CB2 for the 3rd year in a row. I don't hate him but I feel like his peak is being average. Sure he makes some plays but he also lets up a ton of receptions and yardage when he doesn't make the play. There has to be something there with Elam or Benford that can project them up to a consistent CB2. Edited August 9, 2023 by DER10N92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentwannabe Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 A follow up question was whether Allen will play in the pre season, and McDermott said yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelonebillsfan Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Given how he played last year and how he's looked in camp coupled with his draft position, Elam needs to be CB2. He just needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just needs to be. Elam is obviously the most talented CB between Benford and Jackson, but I think the reason why he hasn't run away with the job is because of the defensive scheme. He is much better suited for press man and McDermott runs more zone concepts. I think Beane and McDermott are trying to put a square peg into a round hole here.

Trentwannabe Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 Sounds like the weather could be crappy today? Hard to get a good read on some WRs or even DBs if that is the case. Will be looking at how the OL plays today. As well as James Cook. On defense I’ll be looking at Dodson, Epensa and Poona Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfaninptown Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Int by Dane Jackson. CB2 could be his job to lose. Cook looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trentwannabe Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 That drive kind of sums up Shakir camp apparently. Two big time catches and then a flat out drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
