richardb1952 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 The good thing is that it is all on film which Edmunds and the coaches will review so he better understands what is happening. As a wise man once said; It's all part of the process.

I love the excuses...."2nd preseason game" like it has only been just that. He's been abysmal in not only the games but at camp as well. ...Time to worry. So the entire world that follows college and pro ball for a living universally praise the pick as a steal in the draft for a young and smart player, he doesn't look stellar in a game or two, and you think it's time to worry? You guys crack me up sometimes. 7 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: TIME TO WORRY!

You guys crack me up sometimes. TIME TO WORRY! To be fair, they were not entire games. But he does have a few series in. I’d expect Pro Bowl caliber play after a couple dozen plays! Hey, we took that 19 year old pretty high!

LabattBlue Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 A 20 year old struggling at MLB as he makes the jump from NCAA DI to the NFL? Cut the kid some slack. He is going to have ups and downs all year. If he even shows the slightest amount of improvement by seasons end, consider it a win. Next year, you have a 21 year old MLB with a year of NFL experience under his belt. 4

I was kind of surprised that people expected a guy so young to be the next Singletary or Butkus right out of the gate when he was drafted. Give him some time and let him develop.
JimKellyTryouts Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Praise and expectations on this board were really damn high right after we drafted him - many even saying we have a solution to covering Gronk. By the time Edmunds hits his stride and his prime, Gronk may very well retire. There's going to be lots of ugly plays from him this year, but unlike Whaley's picks, these top draft picks weren't about making the team better immediately as opposed to their long term trajectory; the phrase "ceiling" annoys me but it definitely applies in this case for the 7th and 16th picks.
Bob in STL Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) I know he is only 20 but but he does not look like a NFL MLB to me. I think he may be more comfortable outside. We shall see Edited August 22, 2018 by Bob in STL 1
John from Riverside Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Given the posters who say he sucks I predict defensive rookie of the year those said posters are that bad 2

TheBeaneBandit Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Nobody is really overreacting just saying that Edmunds being so raw is probably gonna really hurt the defense at first. Nobody is screaming cut the kid just suggesting some alternatives like starting him outside while a veteran like Bowman ( just an example or idea ) mans the middle for maybe half a season or so. Trust me, i dont think anybody wants the pick to not work out.
SoCal Deek Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 It’s hard for me to say he looks lost out there because I don’t know what his assignments are. But...he does look skinny out there! I cannot imagine him being all that impactful unless he puts on some weight. He’s getting pushed around!

I think we will see a young man with a huge upside learning his craft this year and next. As his body matures and his skill set develops, I think we will see one heck of a middle linebacker.
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 The overreactions to preseason are hilarious. At the absolute worst, Edmunds becomes a great OLB. 1
