Fixxxer Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 The sky is the limit for this guy, I know that sometimes OCs made him look lost (SD and IND) at times, I know that he misread a lot of holes while diagnosing the running game but this kid will get better, no doubt about it. Once he starts believing what he's capable of doing he will be a tremendous asset for this defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Great first year. I could still see him as an OLB if White (LB-LSU) falls to us. Not saying Edmunds can't play MLB, but if he's an OLB I see the pass disruption continuing with increased sacks--could be a double-digit guy.

BillyWhiteShows Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 3 hours ago, 34-78-83 said: NE ran the edge on us with 22 and with 13 personnel. While Edmunds indeed had one of his worst games (or worst game) vs. them, much of the damage NE did was on the edge, where scheme or other players would also be responsible. There were a handful of runs right up the guy too and you can visible see Edmunds getting blocked out of the play. He was responsible to fill those holes and he did a really terrible job. Until he gets that part of his game taken care of, I think the jury is still out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebert19 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 4 hours ago, BillyWhiteShows said: Good summary. My concern is, if he isn’t the run stuffing thumper, than how the is defense going to stop running attacks like we saw in New England? He definitely needs to improve in this area Milano missing hurts there. Hes more that guy. Especially sideline to sideline where Pat's ran on us.

White, Edumonds, Milano, T.Johnson, and possibly H.Phillips and Shaq could all be the core to a very good defense for the next 2-4 seasons. Levi Wallace too.

ColoradoBills Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Edmunds rate of improvement in the run game is way down my list of concerns. A whole lot was thrown at him at once and a lot stuck. He will improve. The NE game was bad but BB makes his living on exposing rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 5 hours ago, Logic said: The fact that he did all of this as a 20-year-old who never before played the position is just astonishing. And aside from personal stats, he was the "quarterback" of the 2nd ranked defense and 1st ranked pass defense in the NFL. That's huge. I know some fans felt he disappointed this year, but I don't think that at all, not even a little bit. Crazy what he did at such a young age. Future is extremely bright. I have the exact same opinion. I can't believe that some fans are disappointed with him and some are calling for him to be moved to OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 SHOUTOUT! To journeyman level MLB Preston Brown for leading the entire NFL in tackles in this defense in 2017! I kid.......but it's true. This defense is going to stuff any MLB's stat lines...........and additionally Edmunds probably lead the league in "chances" to make plays...........as his weaknesses showed up on tape there were games that teams specifically game planned for his weaknesses and attacked them all day. That said I think he had a huge bounce-back game this past week after a truly horrible performance in NE. I gotta' watch the game again on the DVR and isolate on the defense but it looked encouraging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Going into last offseason Buffalo had 0 franchise caliber players. Imo the heights the team could reach in the up coming years are equal to that of the improvements of Allen and Edmunds. If each reach 80% of their potential Buffalo will be perennial contenders. Edmunds has not physically matured yet. He doesnt know how strong or fast he can become. Him on a pro diet and work out could turn him into a monster.

technobot Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Much like Allen, I'm excited to see what he does in year two and (hopefully) see them both take it to the next level. Also like Allen, I saw improvement during the year, so there's optimism. He has work to do and weaknesses to address but the foundation is certainly there... it's headshaking to consider Edmunds is only 20. Worst case scenario, the Bills have a guy they can probably turn into an elite pass rusher. Best case scenario is something beyond Urlacher, *THE* ultimate "modern NFL" middle linebacker/quarterback of the defense. If Milano bounces back completely from his injury and also takes another developmental step, the Bills will have quite the pair of linebackers. I'll enjoy watching this reality show to see what the result is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are great numbers but imagine if he continues to physically develop. At 20, he's not done growing yet. He'll get bigger and stronger.

I agree I can’t remember a lot of missed tackles but he did miss a chance to blow people up a lot. That can send a message and cause fumbles too. I also had the thought maybe his style won’t be aggressive and that can be ok. It may allow him to play longer and prevent head trauma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did use him a lot blitzing up the middle and in time I think that his pressure can be a VERY important weapon. Pressure is great, especially up the shortest route. His size, speed and long arms make this fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 On 1/2/2019 at 3:56 PM, LabattBlue said: Oh really? Point me to the interview with Beane or McD where they say this. So what happens when a team realizes he is a liability in the running game, and just keeps pounding the rock? I'm going to guess that most teams still run the ball at least 40% of the time. Finish no 1 against pass and 16th against the run. If teams didn't know he was a liability in the run game this year their coaches need to be fired. Theres a good chance that he gains some weight and strength being only 20 years old going into an offseason with a plan from nfl trainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why they pay training staff a lot $$$, to be sure that doesn’t happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
