Bad Things Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Thanks for sharing this OP. I know it was only a highlight reel, but there were a LOT of encouraging plays there. I'm really looking forward to seeing him play again next year, now that he has a full season of experience. The sky's the limit for this kid.

Probably the most consistent poster here in our history, so there’s that. Frankly, he reminds me of my 84 year old Dad. Hasn’t missed a single Bills play since the Opener in 1960, nor the opportunity to B word about every single play since the Opener in 1960. Can’t speak for every WNY community, but this perspective is ingrained in NT. I don’t know how I became ever hopeful.. Edmunds Rookie of the Month award might have made him upset. 6 hours ago, ScottLaw said: These highlights are cool, but they don't nearly tell the whole story. Most of the year he was slow to react and lacked instincts against the rush. He also gets dragged for any extra couple yards when making a tackle. He was absolutely putrid in the 2nd game against NE. He bounced back well the next week against Miami so that's a good sign. Still, I think fans are overrating him quite a bit to this point. He has A LOT to improve on.( I know, I know, "HE IS ONLY 20") Well damn...121 tackles from someone with slow instincts. Man, how incredible is he going to be when the game slows down for him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty awful at times against the run and teams exposed him for it. Just sayin. He's got a ways to go.?? This is getting weird. Do I really sound bent out of shape? Seems to me you were expecting a Ray Lewis level performance from our rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The Bills had a great draft and it looks like Edmunds will be anchoring the middle of the D for many years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly.... the way you seem to talk about him if I didn’t know any better I would think this team was getting gutted for yds weekly right up the middle. It turns out there were right around the top ten in rush yds given up and 2nd in overall yds. Edmunds was right in the middle of it. He most definitely has some improving to do but your summaries don’t jive with how things turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't top 10. They were 16th in the league in rush yards given up. Yup. 16th I guess. I apparently havnt checked the rush yd ranking since before the pats game because before that one I wanna say I recall a ranking in the 10 or 11 range. My mistake. Regardless the kid had a nice rookie year. I dunno why the default mode for some around here, whenever something positive is pointed out about a players season, is to make sure everyone knows the “ya buts” about their game.

A little tid bit....i'm pretty sure i once found his twitter during the laser pointer and the bears @ detriot incident. He was really going at the kid and trying to get all his personal info out there. When i say he was angry.... i mean he was REALLY angry.

Matt_In_NH Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 With his size, I expect him to blow guys up more, I hope to see a little more aggression at the point of attack on tackles vs arm tackles. But then again maybe this is just part of the new NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 A huge reason we had the #1 pass D and he really progressed in the run game as the season went on. Going to be a cornerstone of this Defense for many many years. The great part too is the article a couple weeks ago of Kyle kind of taking him under his wing to be a leader off the field . Kyle said he saw something in the way he prepares that was beyond his years and basically is passing the torch to Tremaine to lead this defense. Hyde said around week 7-8 that this kid will have a gold jacket one day. Said his size and speed is unreal and he never makes the same mistake twice. Very high praises from some respected veterans. We're in great hands with Edmunds in the middle of the D for the next decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think anyone past their 20's was ancient news, and now I just passed by the big 40, and am making up reasons everyday why I'm still a young whippersnapper. Of course, getting out of bed in the morning reminds me exactly of why I'm not. Anyone else here have foot pain for like the first 10 minutes? Oh God. Yes. It's terrible. ...I'm only 32. Will I even MAKE 40? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top ten in yards per carry, though, and that is the stat that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
