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.

Matt_In_NH Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 He needs to use his weight more......he arm tackles a lot. But man 20YO is young! This dude has a bright future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will get stronger, but hopefully not bigger IF it leads to slower. His speed is an important part of his gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This dude has a bright future. He does arm tackle, but he’s also wrapping up and those long arms also caused a few fumbles. I’d like to see a lot more thumping with the shoulders, but I don’t remember a lot of missed arm tackles.....the guys got some serious arms!

Boca BIlls Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Next year he will have so many turnovers. Look at all these 0lays where he almost intercepts the ball... https://www.buffalobills.com/video/best-plays-from-buffalo-bills-linebacker-tremaine-edmunds-rookie-year-2018-seaso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
