BillsfaninSB Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 I get his point but would like to see where he stood for the 2020 season.  I bet not top 2.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m an Edmunds fan but hoping for a rebound. 2
LeGOATski Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 I've never been concerned about Edmunds.  Doesn't he have awesome pass defense stats as well? If the DL improves considerably with the new additions, Edmunds could end up being an all pro this year. 1
RoyBatty is alive Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Same mantra we heard over and over here about London Fletcher when he was a Bill, after he left he played another 7 years with 4 pro bowls. 13 1 1
Bulldog Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Edmunds is a much better player than many of his critics are giving him credit for. He is still very young & while not playing at a pro bowl level (yet!) - he has shown well on the field in his early years. Remember, also, that he played through injury a good chunk of last season. Perhaps the "he only makes tackles 5 yards down field " crowd is confusing him with our former LB Paul Pozluszny. Now there was a master of the downfield tackle. 2 1 1 2
BuffaloMatt Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 That's when he makes the tackle. What is the stat on shooting the wrong gap? 7 5 2

We seem to have some posters on here with a real agenda against him. Edmunds has not been Kuechly or Urlacher but he’s far from bad. I think the expectations were so high at such a young age people think he’s peaked already. Maybe he has. But I can’t find more than 5-6 guys in the league I would prefer over Edmunds. Haters wanna hate. 7 2

To be fair, almost every linebacker in the league has this issue. Devin White is all world, but he misses quite a few gaps himself right? 4

Trying to shed blocks and tackle with that is less than ideal. 1 1

BuffaloBill Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 I don’t get the Edmunds spite here. At worst he is a very solid player. The coaches, his teammates and many others across the league think he is better than this. 3

Â If you're insinuating that he shoots the wrong gap all the time, then being 2nd in the league in TFL is actually even more incredible. 4 3
Virgil Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 For me, his pass coverage is the biggest gap as out soft middle zone gets abused at times. I saw more batted down balls by Milano in the last few games than I saw by Edmunds all season.  I also if the above stat accounts for all the times Edmunds shot the wrong gap and takes himself out of the play entirely. 3
