LB48 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Oliver simply can't create any problems for our opponents. He's a great athlete but a bust as a pass rusher. And, we so need an elite pass rusher. Edmunds has regressed terribly. Watch how many plays he's just running around and accomplishing nothing. He isn't strong enough to make the big tackles and certainly isn't a stud MLB that a Championship team needs. 3 1 4

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 I'd give an HM to Tre White. After signing that huge contract I'd expect him to continue playing to at least a pro-bowl level, but he's been pretty bad (and now injured).
colin Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Ya, neither are impact players. Being solid starters would make them still good picks but they ain't there, not consistently. Edmunds has been just trash this year. Cheeks 1
H2o Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 We truly miss Star on that DL. I know Oliver misses him taking up two blockers. Edmunds? Sheesh, I got nothing. 2
BillsMafi$ Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Edmunds has been lost since he started in the NFL 2
BillsPride12 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Edmunds has looked absolutely horrible all season and it's clear as day. I don't think that's the case with Oliver as he has his moments where he can make plays but at the same time he was supposed to be a monster and a gamebreaker but he has really been just average up to this point. I've been saying for awhile this defense lacks elite talent. You aren't going to have a top defense in the NFL that can carry you to a championship without at least having one or two elite level players.

Sheesh, I got nothing. Maybe Edmund's shoulder injury has affected his speed....he looks rather slow ?? I think they miss Jordan Phillips more than Star actually.

Jerome007 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 They aren't busts in that they are that bad, just not what we'd expect from 1st round selections.

Do The Reich Thing Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 No gap discipline by Edmunds and no penetration by Oliver. Not a good start to the year.
thenorthremembers Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Edmunds was average to begin with. The Bills did a good job of PR on him but he has been the second best linebacker on the team his entire career. He is getting abused without Milano out there. Right now he isnt playing well enough for a 5th year option 3

Niagara Dude Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Beane made huge mistake not resigning Philips , we have no push up the middle and DE are just going up field. Philips has 2 sacks and multiple QB pressures this season, he also had a great personality. Free agency was a mess this season 1

Maybe the switch to OLB is needed at this point. He is just too undisciplined to play in the middle. Playing outside would hide some of his flaws. 1

CNYfan Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Disappointed in Ed. I always felt 58 was smarter and better than 49 and I hope the Front Office is humble enough to admit that in their contract talks moving forward. 1
