What does EDGE stand for?

[Stanley Lombardi]

It is probably best to think of it as 'The Acronym' and leave all of its mysteries intact.

[KOKBILLS]

It used to be a term used exclusively for 3-4 OLB's but now it's that or a lighter defensive end...

Pretty sure it's either a 4-3 DE or a 3-4 OLB

This, most nickel defenses are pretty much a 3-3-5 look. It just gives you an under or over look with 4 down lineman in some way. The Edge is your pass rusher/drop zone player. It eliminates the designation of DE as well, making lineman and qbs have to identify the edge on pass rush situations

A 1 dimensional DE or OLB that only rushes the passer and doesn’t hold up to the other responsibilities. A target in the opponents rushing attack

Not a new position. When player agents saw that their pass-rushing LB clients were making much less than DEs, they didn’t like this. Especially when the franchise tag was much more for DEs. So, they made a “new” position, which would have different financial considerations. The EDGE was born. But, on the field, this is not a new position.

Interchangeable with pass rusher.

A person whose main responsibility is to rush the QB

It's so cringe that you guys are replying to explain what an edge rusher is. That is not what the thread is asking...at all. 

 

I almost can't with people anymore.

I just typed EDGING into p*rnhub. None of the results were football related, other than a few videos of this guy

I believe EDGE stands for global human rights, and for music instrument accessibility for the disadvantaged. 

And delay. Lots and lots of delay.

But on a serious note, when I was a kid they had DE, DTs, and LBs. Now they got Edge, 1T, 3T, Mike, Sam and Will. I blame Mel Kiper.
