I would imagine this offseason he's looking to gain maybe 10-15lbs muscle. Isn’t he listed at 250# already? He might have to go to DE! They may transform his body a bit, but need to keep the speed to do what they want of him, I think.

IgotBILLStopay Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Dont forget that most of Edmund's training camp plays were against McCarron and Peterman. The young man had not yet seen QBs like Rivers. He will learn. A certain middle linebacker, who was picked 9th in the draft was so lost on opening day that he lost the starting position to Roosevelt Colvin and was kept on the sideline for a whole game. Only a freak injury to another player gave him playing time and, to cut a long story short, he hung his boots after 12 more years of stellar play and was recently enshrined in the HOF. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000916564/article/sources-tell-us-scout-amazed-by-urlacherlike-lb-edmunds Edited September 21, 2018 by IgotBILLStopay
CaptnCoke11 Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 I think he’d be better off at strong side backer.

An arm tackle because he over ran the play isn’t the kind of impactful hit I’m talking about. Edit...I’m probably being a bit harsh. He did contain the RB and forced him back inside. My point is still the same though. I want to see him head up on a RB, QB, TE, whoever and make a solid tackle. Edited September 22, 2018 by Cripple Creek
#34fan Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 People keep suggesting that because he's young, he'll grow into this position.... I think it's just the opposite.... I think he's been out of position for a while now, and it's becoming more and more obvious that he's probably not an interior linebacker... I don't care, I'll say it... Tremaine can't shed blockers, can't diagnose, and isn't fast or physical enough to push through initial contact... I'd love it if he succeeded, but for the life of me I can't see it happening in the immediate future.
billsfan714 Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Ten months still from drinking, wow. This guy would be young at a college program with redshirting a lot and guys graduating at 23 plus. School of hardknocks but he will be good in time.

If by the end of the season or the end of next season he's still making rookie mistakes, then there is something to worry about. A bit of patience is warranted. But there are only so many years under the rookie contract where players can contribute value way above the percentage of the salary cap they cost. I am not sure how great it is to spend those years waiting for players to age.
Coach Tuesday Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Edmunds is getting a great education going up against good QBs and good offenses. This part of the “process” I endorse. 1
billsfan_34 Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 He is 20 years old, when things slow down some he will be a beast.
wppete Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 I’m worried about Edmunds vs Cousins and that Vikings offense. He’s going to get tourched.

There's nothing to worry about in the short term. The worst case scenario is we lose a game. Defenses will take advantage of him all year and that's how he'll learn.

Unless the defense can gain some momentum from a great 2nd half . But yeah , Edmunds got absolutely bullied by the Chargers in the first half .
