DRA3196 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I agree, Edmunds, like the rest of the defense played lights out. Glad he stepped up and played so well he had been fairly quiet in the other 3 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGMcD2 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 It's funny people wanted to move on from Tremaine following last week's game and said he'd be a liability this week. Gotta love the folks that watch weekly highlights and believe they're qualified to be an NFL Head Coach. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 He sure did. He was great all game. The defense really did a great job of taking away three or four things the Pats like to do. I will, say, however, that not having Gordon or Edelman at 100% severely limits what they can do. They don't have the weapons they normally do.

I'm a big fan of his and think that he can do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Tremaine's best game as a pro in my opinion. Very impressive, especially since he's calling lots of adjustments too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love the folks that watch weekly highlights and believe they're qualified to be an NFL Head Coach. I was a big critic of Edmunds last year. I think some of the criticism of him this year has been wrong and way over the top. I thought he was very good week 1 and 2, less good last week, and he did miss a couple of gaps today but for the most part I really liked his performance. I think what it might be is that his run lane discipline was really poor last year and so when he misses one this year people just presume it is the same old Tremaine. But the number of plays where he is getting things wrong is down hugely. I thought he was good again tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGMcD2 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 For sure, it's a process (no pun intended). I work with professional athletes... looking at tape or watching on TV and seeing things from a bird's eye view is vastly different than being out there and having to react to all of the moving pieces.

BillsGuru4 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I’m very excited to watch Allen and Edmunds grow, what a draft! They went after Levi and he played lights out. I’m taking mostly all positives from this game. The only negative I’ll point out is Daboll’s inability to help Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has not played great and people were questioning whether he would be better at OLB. He played well today. I don't think he played great. But he was better today.

Apocalypse Nuts Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 He definitely wasn't a liability and he was making adjustments on the D a lot. He's learning quickly this year. That's awesome. He's trending in the right direction and he'll be really dangerous for a long time if he just keeps that up. Great thread, OP. Edmunds' solid work today should get its own thread.

Bob in STL Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Tremaine was excellent today. Bellichick did did not expose him as some feared. The Sal Mariano’s scouting assessment story from last week was way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 His length and range are so damn unique for a MLB. Brady loves those play action fakes where he draws the LB to the line of scrimmage and then lobs the ball over their head for easy completions. Edmunds completely disrupts that with his length and range. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shut the short passing game to the RB down. All while stopping the run. Usually the Pats exploit teams one way or the other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I liked what I saw from Edmunds week 1. He didn't always make a play, but he was always around the ball a lot more than last year. I believe he'll turn out to be a better player than Josh Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what some people think he is could be an absolute animal at OLb where he could rush the passer and rely on his instincts. MLB requires a special skill to diagnosis plays which can delay your aggressiveness. It takes more than a good athlete to be a good MLB. Zach Thomas was undersized but just could read plays and beat o linemen to the point of attack. I think TE had trouble with this as a rookie. Glad to see him making improvements but I still think he could be a 15 sack guy on the outside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know others do not agree but I have seen significant strides from him in his fundamentals and gap discipline this year. And he always had that knack for the spectacular play. I am not moving him. I am keeping him in the middle of that defense and I believe we are watching him develop into a dominant player right before our eyes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
