aristocrat Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 two big guys. i'm getting this guys jersey. he's gonna make this defense a top 5 unit next year. nobody is running on us. nobody is throwing on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey152 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Ive only seen him in highlights and against Pitt...but one thing I will say I like aside from the obvious size and athletic ability stuff is, he plays with solid fundamentals when doing things like tackling.

LabattBlue Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Just listened to Greg Cosell on WGR. Among other things, he said Edmunds is a great talent at this point, not a great player. Certainly brought me back to earth a little and made me wonder if he will be a season opening starter?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll open as the starter, but he won't be the QB of the D yet. Plays will come through Alexander or Hyde imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Maine makes great strides in camp, I think McD will likely use him situationally (ie. in coverage or as an edge rusher). This will give him confidence to build on for becoming an every down LB. IMO, he's still got work to do mentally before he can take that next step. He did guess too much in college which put him in bad positions. Of course he made up for it with his athleticism but that quality will be mitigated somewhat in the NFL. The bottom line is he's young, teachable, smart....he has the capacity to learn and get better....and you just can't teach his size/speed combination which is what enabled him to be drafted in the first round. For those expecting him to be a day one starter and hit the ground running, I'd temper those expectations a bit. Give him some time and I'm confident he wont' disappoint.

The other stuff is true, but his biggest problem is that he was small. He bulked-up for the Combine to get to the 250# range but couldn't maintain it/strength.

HappyDays Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 He bit on play fakes too frequently in college but that's something you can coach. He is arguably more athletic than Keuchly.

TigerJ Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Sorry if someone has posted the same thing earlier. I'm excited to see the flexibility that Edmunds gives the Bills on defense. Edmunds should be comfortable inside or outside, and excell wherever he is. Milano is smaller and not the same athlete as Edmunds, BUT he can run and can play inside or outside. Not sure who the third LB will be. It may depend on the situation, and of course a significant percentage of the time the Bills will be in nickel. Neither Edmunds nor Milano should be a liability at pass coverage. Put that all together, and McDermott can switch these guys around to get the best matchups in every situation. Edmunds, in particular has the size and speed to cover any tight end in the league and not be a liability, even Gronk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
