We need depth and a pass rush to compliment hughes (really glad we have not given up on hughes) Murphy is coming along and looks to be getting better by the week. To me this was the plan.....biuld the D and get the QB this year.....next year hard core push to improve the offense......I always thought that was the plan We need a bonified, Ted Washington type, run stuff DT and another LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technique he uses and his ball skills. His competitiveness is great and he just looks like an NFL corner His coach has reaffirmed what I thought and he has coached a bunch of good corners. Says he would take him over his own Sean Smith compares him to our own Buffalo legend in Antoine Winfield ? we can only hope and pray ( I posted this in May and it got archived and Hapless said I can just restart the thread with the article... the kid is playing really good ball right now and is really physical for his size... he’s gonna be a good one) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billspro Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Him and Tre should be a great duo for a long time in this league. I’m really excited about this rookie class. Edmunds has improved a ton every game, Phillips has been solid, and Johnson has played fast and physical. We just need the most important piece to work out and this could be one of the best drafts in franchise history. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson is strictly a slot CB, so they still need someone on the outside opposite Tre going forward. Ryan Lewis' play is encouraging, and it would be great if he turns out to be that guy.

SCBills Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 He was considered a steal almost everywhere I looked on draft day. Kid is is a baller. The secondary is one Corner away from being absolutely set for years to come. S - Hyde, Poyer, Neal DB - White, Johnson Lewis has flashed and the staff should certainly give him a chance to earn the other starting outside spot moving forward.

RochesterRob Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 It would be a nice feeling to head into the next offseason knowing most of our defense is set. Let the high draft picks and FA dollars bring in the offensive pieces we currently lack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Coach, to me, is extremely impressive as an evaluator of talent on the defensive side of the ball. And he's a top shelf DC. If he can grow into his role as a HC and show the same abilities with the O we will be in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not like the trade up for Edmunds though. That high third round pick could have been used on some sort of offensive weapon (Royce Freeman, Antonio Calloway, or—god forbid—a lineman). Too many holes to give up a premium pick for a linebacker. Maybe he’s still there at 22... Edited October 2, 2018 by mannc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) 22 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: This is also a great example of how to avoid putting your body weight on the QB. The defender hits the QB and then turns his body as they both fall to the ground. This is going to be the technique we see from defenders here on out.

I feel your pain regarding the lack of weapons on offence, but my sense of it is that Edmonds may well wind up a steal where he was taken and well worth the trade up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yeah this staff really seems to be able to get good defensive players via the draft...hoping that doesnt mean they aren't very good drafting on the offensive side but it doesn't look promising so far...

Especially since the Chargers literally said they were taking him at 17 if he was still there. They struck gold anyway with James but unless they are lying (why would they after the draft?) he certainly would not have been there at 22. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
