YoloinOhio Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Congrats on an amazing (and fascinating) career, Lorax. Proud to have you represent the Bills for the last few years. You will be missed. Enjoy your family, you deserve it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Thank you, Lorax. You're leadership and inspiration to this team will be greatly missed. Probably the lone player that was a great addition from the Wrecks regime. I'll never forget his play in the Jacksonville playoff game. He was a monster in that one. Best wishes, and enjoy retirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 He is a great story in hard work and perseverance; a career back-up and special teams player for years. Then gets a chance to start and takes full advantage. His leadership and work ethic will be missed. But good for you Lorenzo, go enjoy every second of your beautiful family. You have represented yourself, this team, this city, and this fan base, so incredibly well. Thank you! for the player you have been, but more importantly, the man you are.

DCbillsfan Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 All the best Lorenzo. The Bills have a couple of young LBs in the wings - Vosean Joseph (5th rd pick last year) and Tyrel Dodson an UDFA. Wouldn't surprise me to see Bills sign a LB in free agency.

Well if they don't get a QB they might be pretty willing to part with him for a 1st...I'd do that, you know what you are getting, the best MLB to play the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 We need a nasty, physical LB to man the middle. It’s okay if he comes off the field in nickel packages, but I don’t want Edmunds in the middle in base defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFan68 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I’d still like to see us land Tee Higgins, WR in the first then come back and get a LB. Let’s Go Buffalo!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 It's been a pleasure watching you play over the last few years Zo.

Bills!Win! Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Lorax was holding this team back with his play in his last year just like Kyle. looking forward to his replacement and an improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideline to sideline player that is developing quite nicely. On paper? 100% agree. But his play is far from perfect. At this point, potential and measurables don’t matter. He is at his best when he is challenged laterally. It gives him the opportunity to use his athleticism to make plays in space. Like yesterday, he closes fast and can contain even the most athletic play makers. Where he needs to improve this offseason is in how fast/heavy he comes downhill. When teams run at Edmunds, he can hesitate and has a tendency to go avoid/go around blocks instead of through them. For a guy his size, you’d expect him to have more of a thud to his game. I think he’ll be great, and can definitely improve. I also don’t think it’d be a terrible idea to have another LB who can play in the middle to give them the versatility to play him at WLB if he struggles to play downhill.

blacklabel Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I'm happy for Zo that he was able to cap off his career here on a high note. Came in 2016 and racked up 12.5 sacks and was a clear locker room leader. Off the field he seems like a great dude. Go enjoy retirement at the ripe old age of 36! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
