Can we give Edmunds some love?

While the D as a whole played great he was lights out I thought.  He was getting his nose dirty like I havent seen from him before.  Coming down into the gaps and sticking guys like Ingram and Edward's is NOT easy.  He also did a great job getting contain on lamar a few times.  

 

The light is really on for this guy right now.

He is awesome. I love Edmunds and think he on a gradual upward projection. 
 

My only beef from yesterday is when the QB is rolling out On the goal line, I think he lost the TE on the throw back to just behind him. That happened in the Dallas game on the first TD as well I believe. I could be wrong because I don’t know exactly who should of been covering the TE in those cases, but Edmunds was the closest and being the MLB I would think it was him.

That is correctable and it could get him an interception  later in the year if a team tries to pick on it. 
Edmunds is this teams Darryle Talley. He will lead with his play and calm demeanor. I love Edmunds and think sky is the limit for him.

I agree with you that he played great. Fact of the matter is that he's gets his nose dirty every week. He's going to be a stud for sure.

With the game he (and the entire D) played, they deserved more from the O. 
 

The long passes in the first half boggled my mind. I get one but that many?? The percentage is just too low. 
 

I wish we had a solid slant or screen as they would have been highly effective against the Ravens D and it could have changed the game.

Let’s give him an unnecessary apostrophe instead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe_Protection_Society

I should add this too:

 

In December 2019, when Richards was 96, he announced that the society was shutting down, saying that, despite its efforts, "fewer organisations and individuals are now caring about the correct use of the apostrophe"

 

 

Edmunds took a step yesterday, he still has plenty to work on.

Good topic, I think Edmunds' play needs to be recognized.  Not only yesterday, but in the past several weeks.  He has become very good in rush defense, rushing the passer, and is looking like the player they drafted him to be.

He was already lights out being able to cover in obvious passing situations, but it’s been great to see development against the run, which should be an MLB’s staple, and will truly seal this kid’s ascent to our Defensive QB; don’t forget he was starting in the league while guys his senior were still playing college ball...just sayin’

Yes, it seemed to me like he was a little over eager on that play to get to the edge in case Jackson ran it, and in doing so left a man open. But it happens. He is on an upward trajectory.

Congratulations on outstanding use of the apostrophe.  There is hope for the English language.

I'm not sure what he is supposed to do there. If he doesn't play Jackson, he just walks in for a TD.  It seems the safety is supposed to have the TE in converge there.  Its just a really well designed play.

So, so good yesterday.

 

I wish things would have played out differently, but honestly I am no overly upset or disappointed in yesterday's game.

 

Less drops please and some better play calling, but that is it.  We can hang...with anybody.

He is absolutely a star in the making. I would like to see them blitz him more often from the outside just cause I’m not sure he is blockable with that speed. Either way though he’s a fantastic player and it’s kinda crazy to think it’s possible he’s not even close to peaking yet. 
 

on a side note while we’re tossing some love around Shaq Lawson is most deserving of an I’m sorry thread. Some Fans have hated the pick since day one and written him off and wanted him traded or cut since day one. 
He was drafted too high, but you have to respect his work ethic and ability to get better. First he couldn’t stay healthy. Couldn’t rush the passer. Yesterday his work on the edge was amazing. He was either so fooled he couldn’t move or his discipline to maintain his edge was perfect. He was a monster reason Lamar had trouble breaking from the pocket. He is never going to be a league leader in sacks or defensive MVP but he is a starting defensive end in the NFL.

Our defensive front seven is one of the best in football.


Edmunds is a big part of that. He and Milano have formed a really good partnership.

 

I love Alexander and what he's about, but if we could add another athletic linebacker who has better movement skills, this defense could be even better.

13-3 remains reserved for our SB caliber 90’s teams, as much as I hate to admit that. However, we are at least 1988 or 1992 good imho. That was a 12-4, 11-5 squad respectively, and deep runs for both...yes, we can hang with anyone, and a few breaks more go our way...we are priming for seriously good things coming Buffalo’s way in the next year +, to say nothing of getting to the playoffs this year, which will make 2/3 for this regime and counting.

another LB and a pass-rushing edge is my offseason D wish list.

There were other defenders out there ahead of Edmunds.

Are we watching the same play? Are you talking about the option shovel pass TD? I ask because I misremembered where Edmunds was on that play initially. However, I just went back and watched again.  It looks like he was in the A-gap defending the RB. He wasn't anywhere near the TE or Jackson.

No, the other TD.

Edmunds is a great player it just looked like this game he took it to a different level.

In the middle of the game he started to punish the offensive players more, he saw how motor Beasley and Josh were getting hit with all the extra hits and said it's my turn. 

A phase from John wooden (he started to lay down more wood)

This.  I think he knew his assignment this week and got to make plays.  Some games the gameplan doesn't work and he needs to improvise more and he gets burned.   Good plan and good execution.

I'm picking Buffalo in my pickem leagues.  I had to go with Baltimore last week.  So, I think there is at least a 50/50 shot, and probably somewhat better, given a better QB situation in Buffalo.  Buffalo has also played well on the road this season.
