Edmunds fits the culture of this team and by all accounts is smart and a good teammate. I like him a lot as a person.
But I've re-watched numerous games to specifically focus on Edmunds' play. Apparently, I'm not smart enough to see what some of the 'experts' see to rate him as a pro-bowler and top tier LB. In my eyes, he's completely ineffective on run plays.
I see a guy who takes bad angles, gets pushed out of the play by blockers, rarely makes the tackle at the point of impact, getting dragged for extra yards, and is more often than not is coming into the picture after a defensive teammate makes the play. I don't see a player with great tenacity or reaction time. I see a LB who's frequently tentative.
According to many experts, I'm off base. It's just my opinion.
He's now got 3 years NFL experience and still only a year or so older than first year players.
Using trade value as a gauge, do you believe if he were offered up, the Bills could get a first rounder for him, say # 16 of better?
