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. Mistakes will be made Plays will also be made 1

No way those posters make the roster and probably won't even make the practice squad IMO. Haha

When Beason was placed on injured reserve due to a torn Achilles tendon, Kuechly was moved to middle linebacker."

Very skeptical. 12 hours ago, SoCal Deek said: 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! So is he too big or small?

K.Robinson ? seems they have boxed their selves in. who is back up to T.E. ? yep. not much. guess they run nickel all season with box safeties oh wait... snap
BuffaloRebound Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 Hard to think of an MLB past or present built like him. Edmunds built more like a giant safety than a traditional MLB. NFL is a passing league but teams are gonna run up the middle until Edmunds proves he can hold up.

I think he needs to learn to read it properly, and he’s young enough to figure that out. The funny part to me is even when it’s a view that doesn’t show jersey numbers, you just know he’s the Great Gig One.

KD in CA Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 The problem is his number.....linebackers need a number in the 50s, period. The 40s are a no-man's land for football numbers. That range is for fullbacks, DBs or random kick returners.
Lurker Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Frankly, I'd be happy with less talk / PR and more "let my play do the talking"...

At 6'5" that is no easy task.
wppete Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 His lack of aggressiveness against the run is very concerning. 1
26CornerBlitz Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 Much better game this week from Edmunds. 3
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 a little late to the party. I thought he did good yesterday. if you are shown in 3+ replays making a great play imo you done good.
