Ralonzo Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 The problem I have is this is the same ol' Carolina defense which is built to let your mike make the plays. Keuchley did. Edmunds don't. Quote
The Frankish Reich Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 He's a mystery to me. You look at that athleticism and it screams "playmaker." But the way he plays tends to be the opposite. I really don't know what to make of him. Example: I think he had 12 tackles today? That's a lot. Were all of them downfield? Seems like it. Quote

Having an IQ of 37 probably doesn’t help either when you’re supposed to be the QB of the defense. I think he’s only the captain of sniffing his own farts. But it’s not like he has great speed either. The athleticism isn’t really there. I also saw him giving up on plays tonight and not even chasing the ball. He’s not only a huge liability, but looks to be a lazy player also. I don’t see lazy. I see someone with a ton of physical talent who lacks instincts. MLB is all about reading and reacting, in split seconds. Edmunds struggles with this and he struggles to stuff big backs in the interior gaps. I can’t recall him ever delivering a hit where the running back went backwards. I am talking about head to head meet at the LOS. Quote
Nitro Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 He took the hit in the press conference on the winning pass play. That is leadership. He is maturing into a better player. He has a long way to go to be earning big money. You would be surprised if you heard the positive things other teams say about him. The guy is an outside LB IMO 1 1 Quote

There's no way anyone could look at the impact Devin White is making in the same game, and say that Tremaine is anything but a major liability. But he did tip a pass today. And did I mention that he's still only 19 years old... and had to step over dead bodies to get to school every day when he was a preteen. Or was that someone else? Quote

We need a new DC who can help him blossom. I want to say he was in a zone. I dont think he was man to man. Got lost in Brady's eyes Quote

The explanation is a very low football IQ. He has no feel for the game and doesn't anticipate; he reacts. Some of his football skills are not very good either, despite his raw athleticism. He can't shed blocks, for example. Quote

But the only thing he really needs to react to is whether or not the ball has been thrown or handed off. Numerous times tonight I saw him jogging slowly towards the ball carrier waiting for someone else to make the tackle. I also don’t see the physical abilities like others claim. He’s not all that fast. 1 Quote
Billy Zabka Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Glad more are coming around on Edmunds as the excuses fade and reality sets in. Great athlete...bad linebacker. Period. Quote

Preston Brown also had a ton of tackles his last season in Buffalo. The guy was mediocre though. All his tackles were down field. edmunds best trait is making the tackles on swing passes and stretches to the sidelines. He can’t plug holes and he can’t stuff RBs unfortunately. hes simply not a playmaker 1 Quote
Billy Zabka Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 Doesn't matter how big and fast you are if you can't get off blocks, aren't physical, constantly take the wrong 1st step and make the wrong reads, and make very few big plays. The Bills thought they could mold this athletic freak into a stud MLB but they failed and the sooner they come to grips with that reality the better. 1 1 Quote

But like you I'm just not seeing any playmaking ability, and I don't think that will be coming. He plays a fairly passive LB, effective in containing the outside run/screen game, but that's not a big money guy in today's NFL. 4 minutes ago, VaMilBill said: Preston Brown also had a ton of tackles his last season in Buffalo.

This is unpopular but I also think Tre is a bit overrated on this D. He’s a good player but not a great player. Thats who we should be using as trade bait. I would sell high with Tre.

HamptonBillsfan Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 I am a staunch Edmunds supporter, but he had a tough game. He just got caught out of position and before his speed gets him near the ball carrier, It's a 1st down or a big play. He makes a lot of tackles but he got blocked consistently on blitzes and underneath passes. I guess his price tag might warrant resigning. These next 4 games and postseason hopefully changes people's minds. Quote

If we keep him into a new K, he'll cost a fortune, way more than he's worth IMO. Quote
