Lurker Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 This is how you start building a league-wide rep. Guaranteed, all the national stories on the Bills going forward will include mention of Edmunds... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I honestly would rather he didn’t play. It’s such a waste. I get they don’t exactly play hard or anything but I would rather nobody risk any kind of injury for a worthless game. I wish they would just do skills competitions for everyone. I would enjoy that more. Less risk of injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Good for the kid. He took a nice step this year. He remains frustrating at times in run defense but I think we just have to accept he is never going to excel at that. What he does in the pass game in taking away passing lanes and pursuit in coverage is rare skill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he does in the pass game in taking away passing lanes and pursuit in coverage is rare skill. Absolutely. And at the end of the day, in the 2020 and beyond version of the NFL, his rare ability to massively impact the opponent's passing game outweighs his run game struggles. There was recently a chart showing that the Bills had 6 DBs on the field the LEAST of any team in the NFL in 2019 -- Edmunds and Milano allow them to do this. Here's hoping Edmunds' run defense improves over time. After all, he's still younger than much of the upcoming rookie draft class. Still, he'll likely never be an elite run defender based on his size and body profile alone. I have to imagine that a player as tall as he is will more often than not get out-leveraged in the "low man wins" game of blocking and block shedding. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a natural, Bryce Paup like edge guy he could be with some refinement. Bendy, quick, strong. We seem to only blitz him in the gaps but once awhile it would be nice to line him up over a TE and send him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the spelling bee idea from @Jauronimowould be FAR more entertaining! I mean, I might actually WATCH some of that! Totally agree. You can't play football half speed and non-contact like you can in the hockey or basketball all star game. Either let them play flag football or move away from a football contest all together. An AFC vs. NFC variety competition would be perfect. 20 events, everyone must participate. I want to see an Olineman teamed with a kicker in the 2 legged race. I want to see DBs v WRs in the potato sack race. A hotdog eating competition. Limbo. Duck duck goose. You name it. The more ridiculous the better and I guarantee it'd be 5x as entertaining as the farce we call the Pro Bowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 To answer Yolo's question about the youngest ever to play in the pro bowl: I did a bit of research, and the best I could come up with is that Larry Fitzgerald was younger than Tremaine when he played in his first pro bowl by a bit shy of four months. Fitzgerald was named as a rookie following his rookie season in 2004. He was 21 at the time and would not turn 22 until August 31. Tremaine is 21, but turns 22 on May 2nd. If there was anyone younger than Fitzgerald, I've not been able to identify him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
