DJB Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Edmunds is just terrible. Honestly I'd rather have Posluszny back there 1

Dirtyd415 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Could we use more talent, yes. But at what point does coaching/motivating players begins to be questioned? We are playing sloppy, slow, and soft. We hit no one with authority, just hug the ball carrier and get dragged 3-5 yards while waiting for some teammates to push him over. No aggression, fire, or desire to be great on that side of the ball.
Blank Stare Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 4 minutes ago, thenorthremembers said: 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 He’s only 21 and they were just talking on Sunday night how they’ve moved KJ Wright around for Seattle. Not sure why Edmunds couldn’t move outside.
gobills404 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Edmunds has been terrible and Oliver has regressed, but I'm not gonna place blame or give up on any players when literally every player on defense outside of Milano has noticeably regressed this year.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Edmunds sucks right now. I got ripped for saying we should rotate Dodson in but it’s not funny. Edmunds looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane. He thinks way to much and doesn’t flash at all. It’s very upsetting. 1
GunnerBill Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Oliver has had some moments this season but he needs to start to show consistency. Almost halfway through his second year we need more than flashes. I am now officially concerned on Edmunds. Major regression from 2019. He is swimming out there. I wonder a bit if they have changed a lot up to try and compensate for not having Star and Edmunds is thinking too much instead of playing fast? Or maybe he is hurt? I don't know but he is playing mainly bad football. 1 1

realtruelove Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Somebody will have to take the blame for Edmunds. He's not getting it done. He's the middle linebacker. He's playing the same as he did year one.
Dr.Sack Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 So what you are saying is neither are vocal leaders with a burning desire to hold themselves accountable or their teammates? No Ray Lewis’, Kyle Williams’, Darryl Talleys’, Mike Singletarys’ on the D side?
SydneyBillsFan Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Question: If the middle linebacker is colloquially referred to as the "QB of the defence" - why in the hell did we move up to pick 16 in the draft to get what appears in my eyes to be Blaine Gabbert?
jahnyc Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Edmunds may be hampered significantly by his shoulder injury, but even last year his play was, at best, uneven. Middle linebacker may not be the right position for him and he may never develop into a very good linebacker wherever he plays. Oliver does seem pretty average so far, but he would have more opportunities to make plays if he had a true run stopping/space eater defensive tackle. Coming into the season, we had poor depth at linebacker, and it is hurting us now. I expected more from Klein, but he may not fit the current scheme which seems to depend on linebackers with speed and who can cover. Our drafts under Beane have been better overall, but Edmunds, who was expensive in terms of the draft capital used to move up and select him, Oliver and Ford have all been disappointing overall. We really need more from these first and second round draft picks.
Agent 91 Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 A Star type player is definitely missed. Harrison isn't going to cut it in that role
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Edmund more than any LB in the NFL needs his D-Line to keep the O-Line off him. The defense needs major changes. 1
realtruelove Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Let's face it, Edmunds isn't good at anything but being big. 1

That’s the definition of a bust. If they were drafted in the 5th/6th round, which is how they are playing, people wouldn’t be up in arms and calling them busts. There’s no such thing as a 5th round bust, just 1st and maybe 2nd round busts. And Edmunds and Oliver fit the bill.
