He is still younger than many of the guys that will be drafted next year. We will know by this time next year. McD screwed up in keeping Lorax and not getting a true back-MLB. If they had a better back-up at MLB, they coudl give Edmunds a few snaps a game at OLB. As much as I love Lorax he is old. Players thst age play second string.

Ed Oliver is 21 years old and basically learning a new position. Tremaine Edmunds is 21 years old and already running the defense. I can't believe you're giving up on these guys already. Quitters will be quitters though. Patriots bandwagon is still open, buddy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuncha Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 10 minutes ago, EmotionallyUnstable said: Edmunds was consistently bad against the run today. He flashed on one play. Outside of that, he was consistently catching blocks and trailing plays. Teams are running right at him, and he isn't stopping anyone in their tracks. Why does he play so close to the LOS? I'd like to see them back him up a yard and allow his speed to make up for his lack of physicality. I don't know...some of it has to do with the play of the D line which was pretty bad 2 weeks in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Tremaine is similar to Zay Jones. A ton of potential, he just has to get straight in the head. It’s the mental aspect that is struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 He should be the answer, but he had a bad game today. Everyone in the defensive front 7 did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills808 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 He has more good games than bad ones and he’s still very young so I am ok w Edmunds. He can be a force, just needs to put more consistency in his game 1 minute ago, Chill said: Tremaine is similar to Zay Jones. A ton of potential, he just has to get straight in the head.

poblano Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 He is better suited for OLB and clearly his height plays against him in tackling vs the inside run, but against the pass game he is perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re doing your normal thing, only showing up game day after a loss. That’s more sad than how the Bills played today. 1 minute ago, Bangarang said: I still think he’s probably best suited for SLB. His size and range sets him up to cover well. He still needs experience reading run plays but needs to step up more there. It would help if linemen can’t get to the second level so easily. The entire front 7 was bad in run defense today. Their O line killed our D line and vice versa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) I think the OP's main issue/concern is with McD's defensive scheme. The DTs can't be handled like they did, otherwise you get what was seen today, which was the MLB being largely ineffective. Part of that is Edmunds still not completely capable as a run stopper and another part of that is Edmunds not certain of the defensive scheme. The DT's play a larger part in run stopping than the MLB in this defense. Edited October 27, 2019 by Happy Gilmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
