It pendulums between various pro/anti Edmunds factions circle jerking after every win or loss. Jmo I started the thread, and I'll keep banging the drum. Edmunds is average at best and will never be an elite LB. Some team will drink the same kool-aid we did that he is so big ... so fast .. so young and throw him a stupid contract after next season. I don't want us to throw stupid money to keep him. That's my point and I will keep on it until he's gone 1 minute ago, bigduke6 said: hes this decades version of Donte Whitner for this team, just as a LB instead of a safety. racking up dem tackles 10 yards down the field. Donte at least made some impact plays once in a while 2 1 Quote
In Summary Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Edmunds exploited tonight. He had a 3 play string in the 1st half where it looked to be his assignment and he failed. Also, never any big impact plays. Not his fault he was overdrafted, but not seeing it with him. Quote

That's my point and I will keep on it until he's gone I was a holdout. I assumed that his tackle numbers meant something more than what they did. I wanted to believe he “took away” anything from the opposing offense. This game broke me early and often. Let’s trade him to the Jets who think so highly and recoup those high picks. Quote
Ryno23 Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 he always finds the O-Line guy on a run play and attacks him vs trying to shed the block and make a play. He is terrible in coverage. Go look at Fred Warner that is how a middle linebacker is supposed to play 1 Quote

Yes, you can have high tackle numbers when you help gang tackle someone 5 yards down the field. I had season tix when we had Bennett, Talley, Conlan, Paup, etc ... those were impact LBs. Milano is an above average LB who over achieved as a 5th round pick. Edmunds .. taken 9 picks after Josh is suppossed to be a difference make. He isn;t 3 Quote
WMDman Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Blew his assignment on that last pass to hardmen too I believe Quote

Dr.Sack Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 35 minutes ago, Lost said: 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. Edmunds played a good game. You want Ray Lewis Brian Urlanchee I get it. What I’m saying is his play is not the reason the Bills lost. There weren’t many plays to be had given the scheme. He cleaned up every tackle don’t believe he missed a tackle. Quote

Maybe he gets asked to do too much given the scheme, but he gets burned a lot. He seems to either choose the wrong gap, or be chasing down the ball carrier from behind on every big play the other team gets. Quote

He's never made an impactful play in his life and he never will. We can do better. No way he's worth 14-17M. Let some other team be dumb enough to use him. Quote

The biggest play IMHO (Hill TD catch and run) was Levi Wallace missing the tackle. Ultimately Hill and Kelce weee 18/22 when targeted. Edmunds was playing good zone and forcing right window throws. We were one Rousseau side arm pass away from a tip or bat. It’s a game we could sit back and roast anyone but given the scheme and design we had chances just couldn’t finish off Mahomes in the pocket enough times. Quote

It seems like he just floats around the field watching the game and jogs in at the end of plays to get a hand on people for the assist. 1 Quote

He was abused, like he always is against the Chiefs. The Bills need to understand that the Chiefs are THE competition, and Edwards just isn’t good enough when it matters. Quote
billsfan714 Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Always have been, always will be in the camp under no circumstances sign this dude long term. There is no there, there. Your eyes see it. To me, it will tell me if Beane knows what hes doing outside of drafting Allen. Quote

Wasnt Edmunds supposed to be our Keuchly? Similar defense and responsibilities, no? Different results though. Quote

You want him to retire after 6 seasons? Or do you want someone who loves playing football for a decade plus? Quote

Youre clearly missing the point. Keuchly made more impact plays with a concussed brain in one season than Edmunds has his entire Bills career. Quality, not quantity. Quote

Not his fault he was overdrafted, but not seeing it with him. it seemed a lot of the Chiefs game plan that was particularly effective was centered on putting Edmunds in conflict situations on two routes and hitting whichever option was better. Exactly what happened to the big one to Hardman in OT, Edmunds reacted to the drag and vacated that whole side of the field to void for the crosser. Milano is no TE eraser. Edmunds in no Keuchly. I wonder if Simmons has fallen fully out of favor in Arizona, but the book is out on this version of the Bills D unless they can land or develop some better disruption from the edge to bail it out or get some better chess piece than Edmunds for the middle.
