    [Edited Title] Tremaine Edmunds looks Lost

    Let's chill a bit on the OP. I don't think he was saying Edmunds stinks. His first game was bad, and the first drive was bad.

     

    Then some kind of light switch went on. He looked terrific after.

     

    I can't find it again, but I watched a video about Edmunds being a hit or miss draft pick. We all know the positives. The negatives were that he can be misdirected, often gets caught up in garbage at the line etc.

     

    This is what I saw in game one and the first drive. Wrong side of the field, chases receivers in motion etc, poor at scraping along the line.

     

    The same video showed that Edmunds very rarely made the same mistake twice, even in game. Fool him once good on you, rarely fooled twice a game or as a season goes on.

     

    He is so young. I think the game is a bit fast for him right now. He is being asked to come in as a rookie, learn Farzier's Defense, make the calls, and then make plays. That is a lot to diagnose and perform in year one. I think Edmunds may have a few bad games early on, but as the year goes on we will see a player mature and develop.

     

    The game seemed to slow down for him the second drive on.

     

    The OP was right to worry. He didn't look good in game one, and looked bad in the first series. Was out of the play, got caught up in garbage etc. His known weaknesses.

     

    But we saw his sideline to sideline ability in the rest of the first quarter. Everyone needed to see that.

     

    Maybe they should have Lorax call the plays and just let Edmunds play in his first year. He can be a beast just reading and reacting. Let him just play football in yr one. In yr two make him call the plays.

    Thank you. Never said he was going to be an awful player he's just awful right now IMO. He made a couple tackles that I could make so I'm not impressed by anything he did tonight. He looks terrified.

    Yes because of course analytics are a true rep of what a down linemen does for your team......sacks are everything.....and guys that make it easier for the LB's of your team to make plays mean little.

     

    Marcel was on a 100 million dollar contract.....Star is not

     

    How many games has Star actually missed in his career...how many times has he violated NFL policies....how many teams has he fallen asleep in team meetings....how many times has he been late for meetings...how many times did he have to be benched by the team for these things.

     

    They of course are TOTALLY the same thing

    And plenty of players do not commit the acts you laid forth. This doesn't mean they aren't overrated/over compensated etc.

     

    His run defense and pass rush were down. No denying that. They signed him because they know him...sounds like we have a real analytical front office.

    Has Chris Ivory been at OTA's?

    So you put no value on having a veteran back up that you dont have to teach the game to? Ivory is not a bad running back. If Shady gets hurt, Ivory is more than capable of starting and carrying the load. He is not on the same level as Shady but can be effective. 

    Actually your right I do put no value in that. Probably the least complicated transition from college to pro.
