If the Bills re-sign Edmunds, they're stupid.

Edmunds is basically an athletic meathead...

The vocal, pro-Bills-at-all-costs majority at this forum is often wrong...but eventually they come around.

 

Notice how the masses are now starting to open to the idea that McDermott is a middling game manager.

Some of us pointed that out several years ago.

 

 

True. 

 

4th and goal on the 4, down by 10, TB driving on us at will and he goes for 3. That's a middling game manager, playing not to lose. 

 

Go for it. Get it and you're down by 3. Don't get it and you get an additional 20 yards to work with and try to make a stop.

Agreed. He's good, but some team will offer him stupid money. 

 

Don't match, let him walk

On that 3rd and 3. He takes him head on the RB doesn’t make that 1st. He’s soft so he took an angle and gave up his levarge. 
 

Tremaine is a good athlete but he doesn’t have the instincts and hes not physical enough at the point of attack to play middle. They need to move him outside or let him go. Bills are fools if they pay him

I believe there is still an opportunity to trade him before the draft...

He doesn't recognize the play till the play is already by him.

We picked up his 5th year option. I would try and trade him this offseason. If not, let him walk after next year

Edmunds is frustrating. I think he gets a lot of attention because he is "around" so many plays.  Which I guess is a good thing.  But too many of those plays seem to be failures at some level. 

This. He does get more hate than he deserves sometimes. But I feel like I find myself yelling at my tv "shed a block edmunds!" Alot.

I've never seen Edmunds bring the lumber. He's basically Preston Brown 2.0 but worse so far.

His coverage skills are among the worse too. He is who teams attack on 3rd when Tre is in the game

Teams attack our zone concepts, nota particular guy in most cases. Zone coverage is fluid and guys pass from one zone to the next as they run their routes. And if you’ve never seen the lumber, look At tonight’s game. Especially 2nd half. It was there. Or you can just pile on.
 

he’s just the punching bag of the fan base like Knox was. That’s the entirety of it. He 100% needed to take a step up this year and has done so. Not all pro, not perfect but he’sa good player.

Gee I've been saying that for 4 years. This clown is pure garbage. And all the embarrassing Edmunds apologists should be ashamed.

I haven't been as down on Edmunds much.

After today's game - I've seen the light.

 

I've always chalked it up to his youth, and then role he was thrusted into at 19 years old, calling signals for an NFL team as a rookie.

 

But it's year 4 now, right?

[JoshAllin]

Edmunds basically slapped Allen in the face after his monster performance and comeback

[Sweats]

This FO traded back into the 1st round for Edmunds.....i believe they suspect he is this teams future going forward

He wants no part of making a head on tackle on a rb with a head of steam. After ryan shazier I dont blame him but I also don't want him in the middle long term. I have been sounding like a conspiracy nut for years saying he purposely takes on blocks rather than attack runners but it is becoming undeniable.

Honestly not really a conspiracy at this point. He trys to arm tackle everything 

[PetermansRedemption]

Completely replacement level player IMO. If he comes cheap, fine. No reason to overpay him. 

[Johnnycage46]

Milano on the other hand...man if edmunds had his will, fire, and heart.  That would make for an all time linebacker

He doesn't get sacks

He doesn't tackle for loss

He doesn't get interceptions

He doesn't cause fumbles

He doesn't recover fumbles

He sucks against the run

He sucks against the pass

 

The Bills are playing with 10 defenders

 Every single week.

I dont think he comes cheap, he has always had good tackle numbers. I think if we don't another team would over pay for him.

[H2o]

If the switch hasn't flipped for Edmunds yet then I don't believe it ever will. He gets fortunate enough to guess the right gap to shoot every now and again where he makes a solid play. But his lack of instincts and inconsistency still shows through too often. He will never be Keuchley. We need an upgrade.
