It's pretty funny to me. As I say when people talk about Allen being inaccurate on a couple throws a game. Every QB misses open passes and every MLB gets blocked out of play, over pursues a PA, and loses a RB / TE in coverage during a game. Every. Single. One. Expand So Zay Jones doesn't get beat up more for 1 or 2 bad plays a game? I get that you needed something to lead with but implying that Edmunds is heavily scrutinized here or in the media is absurd. And the problem isn't the bad plays it's the lack of plays. This defense is supposed to feature the MLB by putting him in position to make plays..........and he's just too often late to the action and subsequently isn't making them.

Expand The Bills were 29th in the league against the run that year. The Bills are 8th against the run this year. Maybe tackles by the MLB doesn't correlate 1 to 1 with the success of the defense.

Their ability as rush defenders is not as important; their assignments are different. It follows that total tackle numbers decrease.

No MLB they plug in is going to be nearly as effective in the pass game, where it reallllly matters. This would be foolish. This is the equivalent of having a run first offense in todays NFL.

A dominant defense doesn't allow Andy Dalton to march up and down the field in the second half, nor let it into red zone range with a minute left in the game. Edmunds would be a far greater assets as the totally disruptive OLB than a mismatched MLB learning his game. Proof was Giants opening drive, and then the 2 score deficit changed the Giants' offense. Compare that to Bengals who got back in the game by running the ball in 3Q. Everyone is waiting for Edmunds' light to turn on, and that was hyped going into the season, and yet he's basically at the same spot he was last year. So with Harry out for the year, we better pray that Star's and Edmunds' lights turn on very quickly.

This is one of those instances where the stats are misleading. Once Dalton got in the groove, the defense had a hard time forcing a stop on downs.
