The Bills traded Dareus because he was allegedly lazy and didn't use his skill. Is being lazy and having no skill somehow better just because it's somewhat cheaper?

Well lets see - one is a seasoned pro and the other has played about 2 quarters of NFL preseason football. Edmunds also improved as the game went on yesterday with a couple of nice tackles and one stuffed in the backfield/LOS

You can see how fast he is but he need to get stronger. I can remember how awful Talley was as a rookie. They are throwing a lot at the kid. Stand back and see the kid become an all pro in a couple of years. Darryl Talley wasn't a first round pick that the Bills traded up to get. Developmental players come cheaper than a two draft picks, one a first rounder. If you spend that kind of resource on a player, you should get more than a kid who needs more time to learn the game. It's not unlike Buddy Nix's penchant for gambling high picks on players coming off injuries -- mostly a waste of resources. 2 hours ago, the skycap said: I concur. Edmunds just need to be more instinctive than reactive. Read the draft analysis on Edmunds. The knock on Edmunds was that he does not play instinctively.
billsbackto81 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 IMPACT! Where's the impact? It's on the salary cap!? Really hope these guys hit the switch come season opener because without Star, Murphy and Edmunds playing to their potential its gonna be a long season.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Star has already been paid, he is just trying to stay healthy throughout the pre season then go full throttle week 1. I take no stock in pre season games, they are so meaningless to me. Anyone who wants to see Edmunds going full bore in a pre season game is nuts. The coaches know what they have in Edmunds and I'm sure he is not going 110% in a pre season game. He's going to be our starting MLB, when the season starts then you can call him out on his play. 1

Murphy is the reason I told Sal C. "Mcbeane would crazy to trade Shaq Lawson" & I was right... Trent Murphy is proof why we need as much talent as possible 1

I'll be here week 1 for more of the same. Star is, was, and will always be average. He got gradually worse with Carolina. I have no idea where in the world the "Star made Luke" narrative came from.

Untrue. He did that a cpl times early on. He also bit on misdirection a few times. He improved as his night progressed. Demonstrated great speed in getting to ball carriers. Made a number of tackles for short gain, and a nice tackle for loss. If you're going to analyze a player's performance, you should watch the game closely first. Edmunds is a good one.
Jpsredemption Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 One of the worst contracts handed out this offseason. 20 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Star half assed it all night. Get used to that. Btwn him and Edmunds run defense will get gashed weekly.

So in other words when Edmunds is playing like a stud and when your proven wrong like you usually are you will just move onto your next dead horse to B word about?
