Kareem Hunt’d rolls off the tongue better.

Not really. Earlier in his career was a pro bowler. His play made it clear. Now it must be explained in a debriefing every week how his size did something, but wouldn't allow him to wrap up a tackle or escape a block. Yes, he clearly has weaknesses. The staff has made peace with his deficiencies and shuffled the defense to compensate. Thus the "he only does what's asked of him" line that we get so often. If what was asked of him was to take one side of the field while Milano took the other, this wouldn't be a topic. Also we traded up to get him. So of course he would get every opportunity to prove McBeane right. And early on, it looked like a home run. My main issue with Edmunds, is that he doesn't seem to have progressed or gained instinct. I want him to succeed. Perhaps it's the Baker Mayfield scenario where he came into the league at his ceiling and I'm just being unreasonable. But that's why I bristle at calls for him to be resigned at some crippling cap number or downplaying his whiffs. In the end, one can only be so upset with a Top 2 defense on a 6-1 team.

We should all be as lucky as Edmunds. I wish that any time my performance was called into question, people just referenced my height/length and it counted as a valid point. Or better yet, my boss said "think of all the accidents he doesn't have." His height/length is only an asset if he uses it. When he's sucked into blocks, over pursues, or doesn't use his pteranodon wingspan to wrap up Aaron Jones, he could be 8 feet tall and it doesn't help. The worst indictment of that argument is that Milano is considered undersized and yet his contributions are never in doubt.

That old chestnut. Everyone is so worked up over nothing. Every year there's a preseason star. Nobody wants our PS players like Blackshear and Hodgins.

If we were really concerned about the moral integrity of the rich, we'd keep a closer on Congress. But he did the most unconscionably bad thing we couldn't possibly ignore: which was field a subpar football product.

Love how Beane waits until the end like an Ebay auction

Two cups of

Did i miss Josh throwing an ugly pick on the knee down?

Edmunds with a tackle and a pass breakup. Credit

WTF did their DBs say to get in their heads all game. It worked so well and it’s infuriating

Poyer out and suddenly Rodgers wants to sling it

finally a solid Edmunds tackle

i want McD to slap him or sit him

wow. we couldn’t just HB dive it longer to run clock 3 times and punt?

is the idea to get them to waste their comeback by eating up clock?

Edmunds!

Dawkins getting moved and it’s shocking

If you had told me that Edmunds was always around the ball, making hard tackles, and almost had 4 ints, I’d be okay with how great everyone thinks he is

Mackenzie feeling too much pressure I think. Overthinking

He got his arm in there at least

Edmunds with the getting sucked into the middle of the pile. Signature move

Has Josh Jacobs brutalized any women that we know of? I’d sleep better at night giving up a 3rd for him than a 7th for Hunt.

Hackett got a job and Frazier didn’t. You have to wonder what the barrier for entry is. Previous coaching experience, coordinator success? It really makes you wonder who was selling Hackett to teams? Maybe he just had the interview of a lifetime.

Why? Tomlin already started the Pickett experiment. It's an evaluation season. My wife said the same thing about the previous interception. "It looks like he just wants to sit down."
