Edmunds as an EDGE

[pigpen65]

He regularly gets destroyed by backs and receivers blocking him. Put him against an Olineman every play he wouldn't last a series let alone a game

Oh yeah.......he certainly hasn't been able to blitz.

 

He's built to play close to the LOS and rush the passer but even if he had been trained for that not all good pass rushers are good at blitzing.

The op says he has looked good as a Blitzer

Don’t you think we also have enough depth at an edge position

 

We literally made Shaq Lawson inactive this past week

He’d probably be an elite TE. 

Anyone know if he can hold?!?!?!

I’m not talking full time….I mean 5-10 times a game at the most. Seems like a good way to utilize his size and speed

that we should try some 4-3 overloaded blitz looks with Tremaine next to Von.

 

Edmunds really needs to make impact plays and this would give him more opportunities

 

he’s looked good in my opinion when used as a blitzer up the middle

Lol sure lets sit Von Miller or Groot to get Edmunds some snaps at the Edge. 

 

Oliver at DE, Knox at QB and Josh at TE to follow. 😎

Haha. Crap I didn’t see it before I replied again 

[Warriorspikes51]

I guess I wasn’t clear.

 

I’m talking about putting him outside of Von as a 5 man front overloaded on one side.

 

It would only be a situational formation used a few times per game

[buffalo2218]

This D line just got 7 sacks without blitzing, no need to fix what isn't broken

Not fixing anything, just adding in new looks no one has seen on film….

Hmm why would we move an above average run mlb, who is elite in coverage ? To the edge where we have DE’s who have played the position in college and now the pros. How does this help the Bills ? Bernard has potential but is undersized in the run game. Spector had a nice pre season but would be exposed in the pass game. Edmunds forced Stafford to make difficult throws or didn’t try due to his wingspan. Would we like to see him more dominant i the run game? Sure, guessing he will do better with this group of DT’s. Pass coverage he is outstanding in. Don’t get the logic🤷🏻‍♂️

[Sharky7337]

Have you ever watched this guy try and rush the passer ? Lol

Yeah I know.   He's terrible as a blitzer.   Greg Rousseau and AJ Epenesa don't look like they would have any success as blitzers either.   Most impactful performance against a good opponent in the regular season in Edmunds career was probably the game at San Fran in 2020.........and that's one of the few times they've used him on the LOS.    Playing off the ball is just way too much post-snap thinking for Tremaine for him to be able to make plays.

No I mean Edmunds could be lined up on the Edge next to Von as a 5 man front on some looks

Ok… so 4 down linemen, plus Edmunds down… that’s 5 D-Linemen.

 

I assume you would want at least two linebackers (Dodson and Milano) and two Safeties … which leaves two corners.

 

That means you’re taking Taron Johnson off the field.

 

So, you think our best defense is:

5 DL

2 LB: Dodson and Milano

2 CB: Elam and Jackson

2 S: Hyde and Poyer

 

Do you see any issues with that against a team that might want to pass?

[Don Otreply]

I’m gonna get in on this too, 

 

So here goes…,       NO!! 
 

Go Bills!!!

The Edmunds Report disagrees with this statement.  Edmunds has shown a remarkable inability to rush the passer.  It's a complete waste of his talent, which is exclusively coverage.  He takes away throwing lanes and covers TE's and RB's so much that they rarely throw his way.  This is why people hate him, because he is not an MLB in the Urlacher/Kuechly mode.
