My way too early analysis:
I have yet to see Edmunds make a “solid” tackle. I’ve seen him make a tackle from the side and I’ve seen him miss or be blocked from making a tackle. An NFL middle linebacker needs to be able to meet a ball carrier head up in the hole and stop him in his tracks on a consistent basis. If Edmunds doesn’t show the ability to do this consistently his days as a MLB will be short.
I expected to see “wow” moments from the kid and I’ve yet to. Here’s to hoping that he gets his game together and makes a positive impact on the defense.
