Coach Tuesday Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Edmunds’ head was on a swivel for most of the night but he made a couple good stops in the 4th. But team speed remains a problem on both sides of the ball. They need a fast playmaker somewhere in that front seven. Quote

The 2nd to last play, he ran the wrong way away from the receiver 2 Quote
BarleyNY Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 10 minutes ago, Doc said: Unless I'm reading the rules wrong, the Bills can cut Edmunds and not be on the hook for his option salary, if he's cut before next season starts. That is not correct. Fifth year options are fully guaranteed at the time of execution now. That was a rule change that was already in effect when they picked up his option. So he’s on the books for $12.7M next season. The only other possibility is to trade him, but I don’t see that as realistic. We’d definitely have to eat some of his salary to get a trade done. 1 Quote

Nope. Once you pick up the option it now becomes fully guaranteed. That is new in this CBA. 1 Quote
Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 I totally came to find this thread. We need to move on from this guy soooo bad. Go MLB round 1..make speed a priority in selection. I'm so tired of our "QB of the defense" not being a difference maker on this team. Or even a playmaker.. Quote
goldenboy81 Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Please upgrade Edmunds, it wouldn't be too hard. Most important position is MLB and he just sucks. Can't cover a orange cone and never makes a impact play or a play period Quote
Sestak4ever Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Some teams probably think he is great. Trade him for a second round pick and move on. Quote
Real McClappy Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 I said before the season started that Edmunds would either be the reason we win a SB (next step or development) or be a liability. Unfortunately the later happened. If some people don't see it I don't know what to say anymore. I've been patient and it isn't working out at MLB for him. Quote
Floydboy12 Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Trade him for what you can. Draft a lb with real football instincts. Not just a guy who looks great with his shirt off. 1 Quote
bigduke6 Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 nobody in this league is scared of Edmunds in the run game, or as a pass rusher. hes a big semi fast dude with a huge wingspan thats good at zone coverage. thats about it. hes not an impact player. hes a guy. u dont pay, a guy, top $$$$. u cant or it messes up your cap. hes pretty good at what they ask him to do, but hes only got 1 tool out of 3. also, his leverage on tackles is attrocious. consistently gets blown up or blocked out of plays. he has a terrible time getting low or shedding blockers. i dont see how u can give him big $$$ playing like this. #1 defense or not.

Dr.Sack Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Edmunds played a solid game today. He was hitting and tackling. I don’t think anyone objectively can watch that game and come away with saying the Bills lost because of Edmunds play. It’s dog whistle scapegoating to blame this loss on one guy. 2 Quote
Best Williams Available Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) I’m not here to crap on Edmunds as bad as most but this D needs a Keuchly-esque MLB and Edmunds ain’t it. easier said than done, I know. Edited January 24, 2022 by Best Williams Available 2 Quote

He was always just standing around at the end of the play. 2nd to last play, he's running the wrong way away from the receiver. Name one impact play he made. One! 1 Quote

His name is not called often enough for a player of his size and speed and talent. He’s disappointing, and has been. And now his up for extension. And while he may do his 1/11th, he will not be getting a contract that is 1/11th of the defense. Boo this man. 1 Quote

How many pass plays has he broken up in the past 2 years? How many sacks? He makes a lot of tackles because he's always out of position and has to chase people down, but he doesn't even do that very well most of the time. 1 Quote
Bing Bong Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 I encourage y'all to go back through this thread. It pendulums between various pro/anti Edmunds factions circle jerking after every win or loss. Just an observation Quote
