Oliver, another Olineman and a young DE (B, E or R) will get some votes next year. I highly doubt Bass gets any love until next year. He’s gotta string together a full season. And safeties already went. Both were left out of the top 15.
TheBrownBear Posted July 12, 2021 Posted July 12, 2021 I like how Josh's only "con" is that he's sometimes too competitive and tries to make the best play. That's like the answer you give in an interview to "what is your biggest weakness?" Lol. 3 1 2

How many other years has that been the case? We need a blue chip player as a pass rusher. That is a missing piece of this team. 5 hours ago, GETTOTHE50 said: JA17 should be #1 I think coaches will rate. Rodgers, Brady, Wilson and may be Watson and Dak ahead of Josh. 1

Doc Brown Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 If execs think that much of Edmunds trade him now while his stock is high. Darius Leonard and a first would suffice. 1

Poyer actually is a pretty good hitter, in my opinion. I seem to remember Hyde having a huge hit on someone last year... anybody remember that? One of them ( Poyer, I think) knocked themselves out hitting Cam on the sideline in the second NE game. I have it DVRd and you can actually see his eyes are rolled back as he hits the ground . He got pulled into the tent . Edited July 13, 2021 by Buffalo Boy
Process Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 We are approaching most overrated player in the league territory with Edmunds 1

Somebody actually pulled the trigger and had him #1 while others left him completely unranked. lol "Unranked" just means outside the top ten. If you had him as the 11th best LB in the league, you wouldn't rank him. So "completely" IMO greatly overstates how negative the act of not ranking him is. On the other hand, I can't understand anyone ranking him #1. He certainly was not better than everyone else in the league, even in the latter half of the year when healthy. IMO, top five is pushing it. I guess the ESPN thing is asking people to predict where these guys will be ranked next year rather than where they are now, so being a bit high or low on anybody is reasonable as you're guessing, you're predicting. 1 hour ago, Process said: We are approaching most overrated player in the league territory with Edmunds Nah, it's just that for some reason some Bills fans love to underrate him.

Poyer Hyde are both better than him. Byard also had a down year. With all the pro bowl snub articles for poyer I would’ve thought he got at least an honorable mention
Doc Brown Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 3 hours ago, Process said: We are approaching most overrated player in the league territory with Edmunds Not even close. Zeke Elliott, Matt Judon, Jamal Adams, Andrus Peat, Marshon Lattimore, and Evan Engram off the top of my head. Edmunds didn't deserve a pro bowl nod this past season though.
CSBill Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 The Diggs snub is confusing. Edmunds is probably a bit over-rated; I would say he is honorable-mention level. He has great athletic tools and his moments; but when watching him every game, you get the feeling there is more there, he hasn't put it all together yet, there is room for more consistency and improvement--especially in his decision making. . . . And then I remember, "yeah, he is only 23." Time is on our side.

I know. I suppose you could go Mahommes, Rodgers, Brady, Wilson top 4. After that you would have to put guy like Watson, Stafford, Herbert, and I guess Ryan next. I can't see any way Allen is not top 4 1
Don Otreply Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 All these types of lists are based on biased opinions, (just like our own opinions) there are no absolutes involved, Josh ranked at #9 is because many pundits are still hoping Josh regresses, (the I told you so group) and that it’s the Buffalo Bills after all… it’s gonna take a SB win and or a few more successful seasons for the stain of the drought years to fade, sad yet true. Go Bills!!!

I see in Edmunds all the shortcomings others here see in him - doesn't fill gaps, isn't a big hitter, plays the ball poorly on pass defense, etc., etc., but then I ask myself why he is playing every down. There is only one answer, and that is that McDermott and Frazier see him making a big contribution. So, I get it when some coach says that he's a nightmare to plan for. I think there are things going on on the field that most fans, including me, don't see or understand. In Edmunds' case, I've speculated before that it's the combination of his size and speed, that he simply covers more territory on pass defense because he is a step faster and an arm-length longer that other guys playing the middle of a complicated zone-based defense. He gets deep faster, he gets to the sideline faster, he closes on running backs faster than most linebackers. Am I saying he's a great run stopper? No. He still misreads running plays sometimes, and he isn't a great tackler. But I think what coaches see and we don't is that he gets into the vicinity of the play better and more often than most linebackers. He clogs the middle passing lanes better than most linebackers, because he's faster, taller, and longer. He's not a standout, highlight-reel star. I think what he is is a nearly perfect guy to put in the middle of a complex team defense. 1 1
