Andy1 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The kid isn't even legal to drink a beer. Give him some time. He has the skills and tools to be great. He is doing what is called learning. I can't imagine having his responsibilities at that age. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I saw a marked improvement from him as the game progressed. But, for sure, he was diagnosing plays poorly for much of his early snaps. In my eyes - this season was always going to be about getting our new QB and our new MLB experience. Edmunds is 20 years old. There's going to be growing pains with both of them. They ended the drought last season. Let's season our investments and take our lumps this year. Let the kid grow and relax. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 53 minutes ago, RocCityRoller said: Give Lorax, the vet, play calling (2nd yr in Fraizer D), let Edmunds play, get a feel for the NFL game and the speed of the game, work on his deficiencies. That is enough for any rookie. Not a bad idea. Edmunds is going to have enough growing pains, the added pressure of calling the defense might be a little much for him right now. See how things go later in the season then maybe think about giving Edmunds play calling duties. Only downside here is you have to keep Lorax on the field for all three downs, just don't make him drop into coverage...if this is possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBills808 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 If he continues improving at the rate he has from game 1 to game 2 he'll be the best LB in the game by week 4. That's testament both to how poorly he played against the Panthers and how much better he played today. And to how bad this thread is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrod's friend Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I don't see a starting NFL linebacker out there in Edmunds - not even close. It isn't as early as it used to be - it's like his vision is impaired and he's not understanding what is in front of him. On top of that, on the little I saw of him in coverage he also looked like he was getting beaten - badly. The plays he made - WR tackle - he had a clear view to the play. I thought that first Browns drive was us playing 11 on 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I went into the draft absolutely positive Roquan Smith was the #1 LB in the draft but I also thought Edmunds was not far behind him skill set wise. I know it's way too early to jump to conclusions but his play so far looks nothing like his college tape. What makes it worse is he pretty much was annoited the starting MLB when Goodell called his name draft night. His physical talent like Allen is undeniable but it really goes to show you there's more that goes into it besides natural abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 TE is young and when it clicks, will click fast given his ability. He seemed to get into a rhythm after that first drive. Had a few nice plays in a row that showcased his speed. More perplexing to me is Milano. Wasn’t he the second highest rated rookie LB last year? What did he do all offseason?..

The problem on that play is Edmunds had clear vision to the play. he's going to be in that position about 3% of the time in the NFL. If you can't see what's wrong there, you are freaking blind.

Look at the nature of the plays he made well - they were situations where it unfolded nicely in front of him like the tackle of the WR in the flats or hitting that one hole nicely. That's almost never the case in the NFL especially at MLB. I don't know if he is having problems processing information, that could certainly be the case and maybe time will make it better. And some part of him really does look like a paper tiger, not a thumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I'm neither worried or concerned! By all accounts he's done extremely well in the practice setting and he has the full confidence of the coaches and players.

As fans we can love the athleticism while still being concerned about his football instincts. He’s not exactly looking like a Ray Lewis right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
