But he's a linebacker/passrusher, and it's impossible to be worse than what we have. Joe B also says we should do it. We have to do SOMETHING. Anyone know who this guy is? Should we make the trade ?

benderbender Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 For all we credit McBeane for, LB depth and CB depth was a known issue. I’d be fine with an overreaction after that massacre. A defense who forces almost no punts and allows a high red zone TD percentage makes Homer something something 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he’s not going to make it as MLB long term but putting him on the bench would be insane. He’s a unique talent. They have tried to use his athleticism by moving him right above center and it’s not working. He lines up right on the line, and either blitzes (he’s always stuffed), or he gets moved off the run lane, or he drops back to coverage and quarterbacks are just reading his momentum and manipulating him. Most teams do not put their MLB right on the line like that. Move him back and let him see what’s in front of him. Give him time to react and even if his instinct is wrong he’ll have more time to make up for it with his athleticism. I don’t think the problem is 100% on Edmunds as it is with us not changing formations 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem this year has and still will be the middle of the Dline until someone pciks up what Star used to do. He made it easier for the LBs as well as Oliver with what he did. The problems that I’ve seen from him have little to do with the DL. i was always in the camp that he should be Our MLB, mainly because we already had Milano on the outside and he can’t play MLB. If he played outside and Milano played outside, we wouldn’t have our two best LBs on the field in nickel, which is what we run most of the time. I thought that once his instincts caught up with his body, he’d be one of the best MLBs ever. After watching him 3 of his 4 games this year (he was decent vs the raiders) I can that his instincts are terrible for the position. He looks lost out there bs the pass and vs the run. Star has zero effect on him in coverage. Star didn’t help him hit the proper hole. Star didn’t help him diagnose who as the ball. He’s the one making the calls out there for a defense that can’t get itself off the field unless the opposition makes mistakes He’s a great kid and I expect him to be our MLB this year because acquiring a very good mlb mid season and getting them up to speed is unlikely. I worry that his play at MLB will keep up from winning a super bowl this year. If he doesn’t improve dramatically, I feel trading him (if we resign Milano) or moving him outside (if we let milano go) is his future in Buffalo.

He has no confidence out there and it’s obvious. I felt the same about him. I love his physical traits and how humble he is. I can’t stand his lack of instincts playing MLB, it’s an extremely important position in our defense and he’s currently a detriment. We’re in win now mode. Time for him to put his experience to use. He’s been a starter at that position for over 2 years now. Players usually get better....not much worse. He’s much worse than he was last season from my estimation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Edmunds hasn’t looked good of late but much more than last year he’s having to deal with offensive lineman instead of mostly just running backs. No Star seems to be part of the problem. And we are unable to set the edge. Shaq did that quite well. We cant pressure the passer. Philips could do that. Looks to me like we miss those guys. We need an ILB, but that wont solve all of the problems on D. Edited October 14, 2020 by starrymessenger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned earlier I think he would benefit a great deal if they let him line up in a more traditional MLB spot instead of directly over center. He has zero time that close to the line of scrimmage to make the correct decisions. And our pass rush is not getting home fast enough to mask his drop into coverage which would make any linebacker exposed. Quarterbacks are just watching him back pedal and throwing opposite his momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because players opt out and they go down the chain to the next available doesn't warrant that the players aren't good. It's not like if the player opts out at a position they pick the next one alphabetically. And as for Correa there's a reason why the Titans are gonna release him.

His run D has always been bad, he was fast enough to run with LBs in coverage, which is why he’s playing the middle. He’s not even doing that now. So to cover it all, he offers no pass rush, no pass defense and gets steam rolled against the run. You take him out. If it’s health, fine, go heal, but a shoulder doesn’t excuse being out of position all game. 2 minutes ago, Rc2catch said: Well I’ve made my opinion known on it, but trading him for a guy on a good defense who can’t get on the field who is about to be cut seems a little silly.

Maybe because he is gutting out playing with one arm instead of glass Milano that for all his talent cannot stay on the field. 19 carries for 57 yards tells me is isnt that big of a liability in the run game. Maybe if he didnt have holes over the entire field left by the other LBers. I dont think you really know how to evaluate the MLB play. I would love for the Bills to go back to the traditional set with him instead of having him essentially on the LOS at the snap of every play. So you are complaining about Edmunds gutting out an injury and say then go heal, well how would the Defense look then. You forget the MIA Game? Fact is the REALITY is, the NFL took the DL out of football the minute they stopped calling holding, and that HURTs your MLB play. You really do not know if he is out of position all game unless you are watching the All 22 and have the play sheet in front of you and know his assignments Edited October 14, 2020 by MAJBobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
