it would be why that type of player is so valuable and he want for a pretty penny despite the headaches 

 

I think we are about to see a heavy dose of posters learning about what it takes to win 13 games instead of 9 in the nfl and actually paying attention to the nuance between our roster and other top ones now that it doesn’t feel like we are miles away anymore 


Yes and no on the preseason effect.

 

a guy like Edmunds might have racked up less than a games worth of snaps in preseason. Some elf but a month into the season it’s hard to say a handful of drives against vanilla offenses going less than 110% is a game changer still

 

The (returning) Vets don't necessarily need the reps.  

 

New players do though.  Vets and rooks.

Agree - he would most likely only rack up 3 quarters of a game, but it would be at least 2 or 3 teams going 100% and it helps players get used to the speed and physicality.  It would also allow the front 7 time to meld together and understand strengths and weaknesses.  Right now they are not playing as a unit, but more like a group of individuals.  They also have several new guys in the D-line rotation and very little time they have physically played together to get a feeling for each other.

 

What I see - especially in the Rams game - is the DT is getting blocked 1 on 1 and allowing the guard to get a body on Edmunds.  His greatest weakness is fighting off blocks and maintaining the gap and he struggled big time with that against LA.

 

The Jets did very little running - so they barely worked on it and he was out against the Dolphins.  I think that lack of prep really hurt in this game.  The Bills in general have really not had to stop a running attack since last year and I think it showed.

 

It shows around the league where defensive teams are just not fluid early in the year.

Holding calls were down 78% in week 1, but I have not seen the numbers since then, have you?

Think what I saw or heard in week 1 and 2 they are down 73%.  League sent a memo this year saying it has to be clear and obvious.

very few in that number and a lot of them played with McD before.

 

i get it, there’s some impact but less substantial then I believe most think
