26CornerBlitz Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Mic'd Up: Tremaine Edmunds (2:59) In this edition of "Mic'd Up", we put the mic on Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds during the Bills' 24-21 Week 12 victory over the Jaguars. Edited November 28, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz 2 1
CLTbills Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 I love this kid. I know he had a rough start to preseason, but he's really grown in to a heck of a young player. And I think he'll only continue to get better. I hope he's here for a long time!! 2
Jpsredemption Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Kind of hurts watching D. Leonard of the Colts making plays week in and week out and yet we found it necessary to trade all those draft picks to move up for two wild cards. If this was his most consistent game why did the Jags run down our throat?

No way he is better than Gurley, Zeke, Bell (If he was 2017 Bell), and I would even add in Gordon, Hunt, and Barkley ahead of him. Plus even more. Fournette was literally averaging like 3 yards a carry or something the 2 previous games before this one. 1

He isn’t the guy that is going to torpedo into a hole and crush a RB. He likes running sideways and making tackles. Great range but soft.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 So yeah....Edmunds looks like he's a good one. Not a big talker, but that's alright by me. 31 minutes ago, Jpsredemption said: Kind of hurts watching D.

We'll wait. 2

If this was his most consistent game why did the Jags run down our throat? Lots of people here loved Darius Leonard, myself included. Great player. He’s not 6’5 250 at the age of 20. Having a MLB that’s 6’5 changes the way teams have to attack us. Leonard is currently the better player. My money is on Edmunds being the best LB in this class when their careers are over. Not many had a 1st rd grade on Leonard. Everyone had a top 20 grade on Edmunds. Some had a top 5 grade. That’s why we traded up for him. crazy that we have such a solid young MLB and people still find the gloom in it. Get yourself out of that dark corner and come join the party. It’s fun for some of us. Edited November 27, 2018 by NewEra 7 3
eee1776 Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 No doubt that He will eventually become a great LB but at this point if you watch him he still is not gap sound. But the potential is there.
HomeskillitMoorman Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 I disagree with Chris that this was his most consistent or best game. But I disagree with Chris on most things. But I like Edmunds, he's a playmaker. I'm OK with a young player making mistakes if they're out there trying to make plays. We'll have to see if he learns from them, that'll obviously be the big key, but the dude's certainly got talent. I know some people have said he might be better suited for the outside because he has struggled against the run, and I get the rationale, but I think that could still change. 1

I know some people have said he might be better suited for the outside because he has struggled against the run, and I get the rationale, but I think that could still change. At 20 years old, he's still growing. There's plenty of chance for him to fill out more, and become more of a handful inside. As you say, the kid still makes plays, even though he also makes mistakes, but he is no shrinking violet either - that was a terrific stop of Fournette at some point, when the Jags only needed a yard or so for the first down, on a 3rd down run. Soft he isn't, but perhaps not as strong as he will be. I also like the fact that he can take away some of the over the middle stuff, due to his size. QBs have to think twice about it if he's in the area, as he gets his arms and hands up and out, pretty well. he's already tipped a few this season. At his age, Edmunds has almost got Allen like potential as a MLB, and he's well on the path of improvement, imho. 2
Formerly Allan in MD Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 He's a rookie. If he eventually has to move outside he will. 1
jimmy10 Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Love this kid! And remember, he’s only 20. That means he could still grow another inch or two. (In HEIGHT, you pervs!) 3
Mark80 Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Don't understand how anyone (looking at you WGR) can complain about us trading up to take this kid. Great MLBs make a huge difference on a D. Mike Singletary, Derrick Brooks, Ray Lewis, Bobby Wagner, Luke Kuechly, Patrick Willis all led strong defenses and they were the cornerstones. Sooooo much better than Preston Brown already and he's only 20. 2
BuffaloBillies Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 When I was 20 I was smoking bongs and drinking Milwaukee's Best out of a mop bucket at college... nightly. Edmunds is slightly more impressive than I was at his age. 3 4 2

Sooooo much better than Preston Brown already and he's only 20. there was a particular play early in the game that he sniffed out in the flats on a bortles rollout. he was clearly trailing the fb or te(cant quite remember which it was) and managed to make up a crap ton of ground to stop the play for little to no gain if i'm not mistaken. I specifically remember as it was happening thinking if that was preston brown that pass catcher would now be 20 yds down the field while brown flailed behind him, with his awkward run style, losing ground trying to catch up. that being said. Edmunds has serious work to do in the run game but I think that will come in time. EDIT: I just watched the vid. it may have been that play to the flat on fournette.

GoBills808 Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Gonna be a great player for a long time.
