Utah John Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 As much as some Bills fans dis Edmunds, the professionals in the NFL love him. The role of the MLB in today's game is to eat space, NOT to make a lot of splash plays or to thump RBs. If the play comes to him, he makes it, but he's the sponge that shrinks the field letting all the other defenders have the advantage over the offensive players. Edmunds has always had the size and speed, but now he's also had the experience that helps him avoid bad gap choices (which was a problem early in his career). Edmunds is a little banged up and there's a chance he won't play Sunday. Fortunately this is against the Steelers and not against a high powered offense, so the Bills should win anyway, but if he doesn't play we'll all get a chance to see how the Bills D looks running on regular unleaded instead of super premium. There's a good chance that the Bills simply can't match the offers that Edmunds will get from other teams. But if they can figure a way to make that work, they should do whatever it takes to keep him around. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protocal69 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Funny cause I been hearing fans from other teams especially the Ravens call Milano and Edmunds the best linebacking duo and the league and it was just so weird to hear other teams fans refer to them in such high regard collectively 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Edmunds has always been a good player. Very good at times especially with what he’s asked to do in the passing defense. He has taken it to another level this season. Do not let this man go. The Bills have developed him and now have a beast on their hands. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) Best LB tandem in the NFL and Milano is the best LB in the NFL...Bills are just amazing at drafting players on D...seems pretty much everyone they take ends up being a good player no matter where they are picked. PFF also grades him as the highest graded LB so it must be true! Edited October 8, 2022 by Big Turk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is angry that Edmunds is playing at a more consistent level. I've been waiting 4 years to see him take a step. He hasn't reached the ceiling that his physical abilities promised and probably never will at this point, but he is no longer an outright vulnerability like he has been in the past.

Utah John Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) They should pay Edmunds and let walk or trade Poyer. I think Poyer's great but the age/durability factor is working against him.
