Re: Tre White active.

Just saw him twice .... I wonder how many snaps he actually played

No stat line on him.

Ok we'll take it.

Re: Tre White active.

Tre played about 33 snaps this last game. Somewhere in the 60% of snaps range. Had 4 tackles. Don’t know if he allowed any completions. But he’s increasing his snaps which is great.

Xavier Rhodes played the most snaps at CB. Elam was a healthy inactive.

Very interesting that Elam was benched for the vet Rhodes. But not surprising with the way McDermott likes to bring rookies along slowly.

Did the same with Cook (although Cook was never a healthy inactive, he was benched after fumbling his first NFL carry). Cook is progressing very nicely. And I suspect (and hope) that Elam will react positively to his benching.

It’s a matter of time before Dane Jackson’s snap count steadily reduces if Elam proves his mettle. Jackson has been the favorite target of several QB’s.


Here is Joe B’s pst game analysis of the situation at CB...

Tre’Davious White is back almost in full, as CB2 has plenty of movement

The day the Bills had been waiting for finally arrived, as star cornerback Tre’Davious White returned to a near-every-snap role against the Patriots. The team chose to play him on only the first two series against the Lions, but both the player and the team were ready to give him all he could handle on Thursday night. White played on all but two of the Bills’ defensive series, and each had a good reason. On the first series without White, he had just gotten checked out for a stinger, but was cleared to return to the game and the Bills were likely just being cautious. And the second series without White was when the Bills had the game well in hand in the fourth quarter. It seems like it’s all forces go from this point forward for White and the Bills.

And with White back in a full-time role, the Bills began the process to try and figure out their other starting spot. The first big move was to make first-round rookie Kaiir Elam a healthy scratch. He only mixed in near the end of the Lions game after both White (precaution) and sixth-round rookie Christian Benford(injury) were removed from defense. Elam also doesn’t play much special teams. He really only mixed in on kickoff coverage sporadically, so his roster spot was likely deemed to be better used on a core special teams player. But it’s still concerning the team preferred two other players on defense than their first-round pick when the position is in flux.Dane Jackson’s struggles caught up to him, and for the first time this season, he did not play in an every-snap role for a game in which he was available. Jackson mixed in for two defensive series with White, but that was it other than the two series White didn’t play. They wanted to get a good look at veteran Xavier Rhodes, and the White and Rhodes pairing seems like one that could stick in the short-term. The Bills likely prefer experience and a calm demeanor rather than the variable Elam and Jackson provide. Until one of the younger players prove they can be a consistent option, Rhodes might be the path of least resistance to better defensive results.
