Picking up Edmunds Option a Rare Beane Mistake

I think the point is he’s simply ok. Def not worth a hefty contract extension at this point.  

I won’t argue with okay.  But in this very thread, Edmunds was called the worst MLB in the NFL and we only play with 10 men on defense when he’s out there.

Next week.  We are only playing with 10 men defense if Edmunds is in there.

 

well then if he's so nonexistent that its like playing with only 10 on D then yes, they can get rid of him before week 1 next season.

Has this been a good game or a bad game so far for Edmunds? All I see is him out of position, over pursuing, and chasing plays. So it seems to me like he should be benched. But I defer to the experts.

 

I don't care about the option or money argument anymore.  I want him replaced soon. I don't get excited about 6-7 tackles 8+ yards downfield. That's how he got his phantom pro bowl. He drops back in coverage guarding grass. He's always last one to the party.

I truly do not understand how anyone defends edmunds other than just reading his tackle numbers. If we didn't have Milano, offenses could throw swings and screens the entire game, edmunds gets completely taken out of plays by open feild blocks from slow offensive lineman. There's definitely worse options at linebacker, but the investment put into edmunds and what we are getting in return is not there.

this is a reasoned take which is what this board is great bills discussion. Kudos nocal...now just keep sending us your water #sandiego haha

Milano got 4/44 and he is way better than Edmunds. 

What's your point? Cut Edmunds, and draft a MLB in the 3rd round, while still paying his full salary?  It's likely edmunds doesn't justify a good contract, but he still has 31 games to allow us to base an opinion, without jumping the gun. That's all I'm saying

Come on dude. Milanos playing  awesome. Edmunds is not. The threads about Edmunds no? 

You criticized Beane for signing a Milano over a pass rushing DE all offseason….

Did you see the 1st down Milano gave up while in zone coverage? Biggest mistake of Beane's career so far.

What was the the play right after that?

If he’s that bad, why isn’t he replaced next week?  He’s so bad, its like playing with 10 players on defense.  That means literally any back up can replace him.

And you don't criticize Milano for getting sucked into a run fake and blocked out of the play on the Hyde tackle for loss. Edmunds was 2nd to the party from the opposite side of the field and Milano did not even make it to the party.

 

Some of you have no idea what you're looking at. Instead of accepting that both are integral pieces to the defense, it's always one-or-the-other hot take from simple minded fans.

I trust the process to work and if Edmunds is evaluated to be unworthy of future signing so be it. I root for the laundry.

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

I laughed out loud when he just let that guy get the first down on third down in the second half. Go and tackle him! It's like he waits for guys to make the first move, so they get extra yards and then he tackles from behind. It was pathetic. He looked foolish out there.

Hes so salty about Edmunds being terrible he tries to tie in Milano. It's so blatantly obvious his homerism for Edmunds.

 

Milano CONSTANTLY makes good plays. Edmunds is constantly no where to be found. So he tries grasping at this stupid crap.  "Derrr did you see that one play from Milano"

 

When we could show 10x as many from Edmunds.

 

Clowns, no-nothing fans where every player is great and how dare you criticize the golden goose!

Given their schedule they can replace him without much impact except maybe KC and TEN.  If he was injured you wouldn't suggest that they play with 10, nor could you credibly claim the Defense was taking a huge hit with his replacement.

I'm pretty sure you don't know what play I was talking about or that it's a sarcastic reply to a sarcastic post.

I disagree that Edmunds is integral.

 

He has unique talents that he brings to the LB spot but also has a severe lapse of football instincts.

 

That doesn't make him a zero on our defense. But he isn't THAT important.

Milano gets breaks because he consistently makes plays and is a good player. Just like how Dion, Josh, Tre White all get breaks when they mess up.

 

Good players get breaks, in fact, they deserve it.

 

The difference is, and quite obvious, is that Edmunds doesn't make hardly enough plays and fans are tired of seeing him waste space out there.

I'm simply evening out the hot take ratio 👍

Answer the question Weo.  Why don’t you they replace him next week?  If he’s so incredibly bad, why is he still out there?

There, i've said it again.  Go right ahead, won't change the outcome.

It would be funny to watch him get replaced by a better MLB....and then get moved to SLB. People would freak out.
