JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Ehhhhh. I am a huge Edmunds guy. I think he has played really well, I think he should stay a MLB, and I think he will be a cornerstone of our defense. All that being said, this award is for stat counters. NE was not a good game, but he still got 11 tackles. It doesn't matter if the tackles were 5 yards past the LOS, he still gets credit for the tackle. So on the stat sheet it looks great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 He is not a thumper but in today's NFL you wouldn't want him to be. He is so young, when he becomes physically mature POA will not be an issue. Proper technique and a professional offseason you will see a leap in his play. He is only 20.

Just Joshin' Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The awards are interesting. AFC defensive player for December was Indy's Leonard who is a rookie while Edmunds is the rookie defensive player of the month. Guess one person can't win both?

FeelingOnYouboty Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Pretty exciting. Allen and Edmunds were raw prospects that held their own this year. A full off-season can only be good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he knows more than a few message baord guys reading PFF. He's developed some great players...not just Urlacher. Great coach. the development of Milanio from last year when he was good to this year when he was great was amazing. Can't wait to see Termaine in year 2. I'd also get a young guy for when Lorax eventually retires. Let Babich coach him up also! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also a big Edmunds fan. The NE game was awful, although the entire defense was awful against the run. I put more stock in PFF, and their year grad is not fantastic on Edmunds. That said, I think he played very well for a 20 year old rookie MLB. In terms of keeping him at MLB or not, it really depends on who is available in the draft (White?) or FA. If a bona-fide solid MLB is available, perhaps Edmunds will be even more imposing at OLB. Can he play MLB, I think he can. Is it the best spot for him, I have no idea. Good rookie year though.

Antonio Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Ohhh nice! I take it. It is not a DROY but it is nice for him to get recon. I still wish he played with a little more fire in him so he could hit and destroy some RBs, but so far I like what he has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he play MLB, I think he can. Is it the best spot for him, I have no idea. Good rookie year though. I just don't get why anyone thinks the "move to OLB" thing has merit whatsoever. First of all, they didn't spend his rookie season letting him QB the defense from the Mike position just to switch him in year two and have to start from scratch at a new position. Secondly, if you move Edmunds to weakside LB, you're bumping Milano out of a job, and that doesn't make any sense because Milano is a playmaker. You're not going to put Edmunds at the strong side linebacker position because that's only a part time player in this defense. He'd be coming off the field for 79% of the snaps (based on how much the Bills were in base defense in 2018). So is it that people want Edmunds to bump the talented Milano out of the lineup, or that they want Edmunds on the bench 79% of the time? Either way, it's ludicrous. He's our long term ILB, Period. All of that being said, I DO believe there's merit to finding a 3rd down pass-rushing sub-package role for Edmunds in year 2. He showed excellent pass rushing efficiency.

I hate PFF. I simply cannot understand how they can grade players without the All-22. That said, he played like a rookie. He had bad games and good games. Exactly what you would hope. Here is the thing that gets missed, we played in a base defense 20% of the time (the NFL as a whole was like 13%). Modern defenses do not need two OLBs. We are set at LB this year and probably next, depending on Edmunds trajectory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
