Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 I think that Edmonds height/length will be very valuable in coverage. You frequently hear about how QB'shave to throw over the linebacker and underneath the safety. Well that throwing window just got smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the best coverage job on Gronk I've ever witnessed. He clearly held him a lot, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFront_USAF Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I actually think Gronk is one of the biggest reasons LBs like Edmunds are coveted. Gronk is just too big for most defensive backs to cover, as he can box them out or just shove them around at will. Try to cover him with a linebacker, and he likely won't even be in the frame when Brady let's it fly. They're just too big and slow. Basically you have to find someone who is just as much of a gigantic freak of nature as he is, and hope Brady just doesn't beat you anyways. Guys built like Edmunds can help with that.
