I am still of the belief that Edmunds being gone will affect our pass defense because he was a big condor like MLB that made QBs throw over or around him due to his reach. I never liked him against the run as I noticed him side stepping those plays instead of taking the RB head on.
That being said, I've stuck with my off-season take that this team is still fine on both sides of the ball, is well coached, and will win the East again.
