Welp, cross Matt Elam off the Patriots draft list
So, New England Patriots Draft (which is phenomenal by the way, guys are legit) writer Mike Loyko came out with a scouting report on Matt Elam. You know, the guy that everyone is fawning over, the safety out of Florida. The big-hitter type that people want. Well, these are some of the negatives (you can read the whole thing at that link back there) that he listed.
WHO DOES THIS SOUND LIKE? Patrick. Motherfucking. Chung. God Damn It. I cannot take another Patrick Chung. Just can't do it. "Has the speed to cover hash to sideline, but often takes an overaggressive angle." Seen that. "Often is a step late in coverage." Oh yeah, I FUCKING SEEN THAT. "Elam tries to make up for mistakes in coverage with big hits." Hmmm, yeah I think I saw that too. Welp, I'm officially scared off on Elam. And I was getting so excited reading the first half of that scouting report. Damnit.
-Has the speed to cover hash to sideline, but often takes an overaggressive angle.
-Covers the slot often, but fluidity in coverage might not allow in the NFL.
-Often is a step late in coverage.
-Too aggressive, gets away with poor technique, relying of athletic ability.
-Is susceptible to double moves will jump short route and be beaten in the deep third.
-Elam tries to make up for mistakes in coverage with big hits.
