Interview with Abram Elam

Abram Elam attended Kent State and went undrafted in the 2005 NFL Draft.

After playing on Special Teams throughout the early years of his career. After landing with the New York Jets in 2007, he grew to a nickname Big Play Abe. When Rex Ryan became the Jets head coach and needed a trade during draft day,  Abe Elam was traded to the Browns in the "Mark Sanchez" Trade reuniting with his former coach, Eric Mangini

Hate to be a prick

But really boring, dry interview.

by homerun21 on May 4, 2010 9:15 PM EDT reply actions  

sorry…
more personal side of players

by Max Strauss on May 4, 2010 9:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well your audience here is most likely Browns fans…so ask him questions about the team and how he feels about playing in Cleveland..thats just a start

by homerun21 on May 4, 2010 9:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

hard to do that..trying to do personal side.

by Max Strauss on May 4, 2010 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

and I’m just a high school student..sooo…
if you have any general questions you want answered, I’d be more than willing to ask. =)

by Max Strauss on May 4, 2010 9:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

try asking follow-up questions. this is extremely segmented and has no flow to it at all. don’t just sit down with a list of questions, engage in a conversation with the person.

I hate the steelers the way a mother loves a child.

I’m doing more personal side.
I’ve been engaging, but it’s tough for them to find time to do engaging….stuff

MS : What is your favorite meal?

AE : Oxtails and Pigeon Peas in Rice

WTF?

by gahnki on May 4, 2010 9:37 PM EDT reply actions  

I also think it was pretty good, but would agree that if you did this live having some possible follow up questions or a comment/joke based on an answer he gave (I’m thinking oxtails) would be great.

that was by far one of the strangest answers I’ve ever heard for favorite meals

MS : What was your favorite team growing up?

besides that, cool ! =)

by Max Strauss on May 5, 2010 11:30 AM EDT up reply actions  

TRSS, aka, TheRealSlimShady is a person that posts on this website often and loves Notre Dame. He is not much on NFL teams so much as he is on NFL teams that his star ND QB’s go to. He is now a self-proclaimed Carolina fan due to Clausen and a Bronco’s fan due to Quinn.

Alright.
Makes sense.

I’d rather root for colleges where my team’s players came from though, LOL.

…Abe’s first school was ND dude.

I wonder if TRSS knows this yet was my point. I haven’t heard him go on a spiel about Elam yet.

Abe Elam is one of the premier classic strong safeties in the league.
I was quite pleased he got to start and finish every game with the Browns last year, just as he was able to for two years straight with the Jets prior to Rob Ryan.
There is a sudden influx of defensive backs again this year, just as there was last year in training camps. Last year Abe Elam made the final cut, if he doesn´t this year, I´m expressing interest.

by mooncamping on May 8, 2010 7:18 AM EDT reply actions  

I don'

I don’t see why he shouldn’t make the final cut.
He gets the job done.

To add two more corners to y’alls secondary in Joe Haden and Sheldon Brown…
Abram Elam will be even more successful !
Big year for y’alls secondary…since AFC North is lacking receivers…except for Ravens—sorta

by Max Strauss on May 8, 2010 3:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

Elam will be a starter for us next season.

by Roger Dorn on May 8, 2010 8:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

Glad for your candidness regarding your desire for him to be your starter.
I´m trying to express that he´s not exactly a sleeper talent. I think his placement amongst the best strong safeties in the NFL is known.

New Interview : Kory Sheets

With an aging backfield of the Miami Dolphins,
Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams,

Here is an interview with the young Purdue runningback, who could see himself as the future of the Dolphins.

I liked the interview, I’ve always been big on Sheets. If he gets more opportunities, I think he could be very successful in this league.

by AG7 on May 9, 2010 12:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

I agree, it's hard to even get an opportunity in the NFL though.

New Interview : Marcus Dixon

Marcus went to prison as a teenager because of a wrong conviction.
He went to Hampton University.
He’s now a Dallas Cowboy.

Interesting story. I’d like to hear more about the events surrounding his wrongful imprisonment.

alright…well he was on oprah, after it happened and such…
but, I’ll see what I can find for you..maybe something on youtube?

by Max Strauss on May 15, 2010 11:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

Just a quick google search on it here.

HBO did a Real Sports segment on this years ago. Good stuff.

by Bernie19Kosar on May 16, 2010 4:25 AM EDT up reply actions  

I saw him on Oprah when the case was still ongoing. Glad to see that he’s been able to get on with his life.

Further evidence that the South is still America’s backwater.


“That’s all reason to believe he’s a pedophile,” Floyd County detective Gary Conway, who investigated the case, told ABC’s “Nightline.” “And if he got away with this, he would do another one.”

I imagine Gary Conway to be a Bob Ewell-type character.

yeah, such a sad story…
happy he’s moved past it, and used it to make himself better.
