benderbender Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 9 minutes ago, Ed_Formerly_of_Roch said: So if you put him on IR will the team be better with whomever replaces him? LB is probably the position we are thinnest at to start with. Likely it's one of these injures where he's been told playing with it won't make it worse, but won't get better until he has surgery at season end. At this point, I'd be willing to take a chance on a 100% rested and healthy FA like Clay Matthews than to march out a what appears to be a 40% healthy Edmunds. He's obviously hurt. So obviously hurt that BB is actively running in his direction. I still believe in Edmunds. Marching him out there just to take Ls not only is limiting our overall defense, but might ultimately hurt his confidence. Let's invest in his recovery instead of mortgaging his future.

Agree if you can get someone from the outside, fine. But within the roster they have right now, he still may be there best option if not their only option.

You only watch to find stuff to cry about don’t ya? So Edmunds is playing bad, we all get it. Do we need multiple posts whining about it? Do we need to post it in every thread? What’s your alternatives since you hate the kid now and don’t want him playing? Matevich? Klein? Andre Smith? It’s easier to understand the constant whining when there’s a capable player maybe riding the bench, but there’s nobody else to put out there. Gonna have to ride it out and see if he can improve some things in his game. That’s it there’s no one else I’m sure coach sees it too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is truly that hurt, he needs to go on IR You don't go on IR in the middle of a game, Bright Eyes. He was injured on the first play of that drive and out for a couple downs then came back in. Give him credit for being a gamer and wanting to go back in at a critical point in the game. And if he goes on IR, who replaces him?

blacklabel Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 This is EGREGIOUS, Cotton! It is absolutely unacceptable that Tremaine Edmunds did NOT lift Isaiah Wynn over his head and launch him into the 300s. Even more worse and not gooder than that is he didn't pull an Ant-Man and shrink himself down so he could slip between the two guys blocking him. He's so selfish with his superpowers. How dare he. He and his one arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instinctually he is just reactive and it slows him down. Not saying he’s terrible but this is crunch time and he’s just eliminated from the play by a so so RB.....

Wynn engages him 2x the first time its almost simultaneous with Burkhead and then the second time its when hes 2-3yds away. But the first contact is Wynn and Burkhead at the same time which is what drives Edmunds back a few yards; its that second engagement that youre focusing on. It wasnt burkhead alone that drove him back initially 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonabb Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 He's not good.

He plays stiff and he's not a hitter or a good tackler. He's always out of position and he doesn't close. He's basically useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I'd say it doesn't look quite as bad on replay as it did live; I thought he'd been bounced again and was cussing until I saw the ball on the ground. I'd also say that was NOT the only time it happened this afternoon; he got taken for some rough rides today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with Edmunds, McDermott, Norman, Murphy, Morse, Winters, Klein, Johnson, Hyde, Poyer, Terry Pegula, John Murphy, Chris Brown and Dan Evans (VP of Information Technology). Am I missing anyone? Oh wait Michelle Schrum... the Human Resources Generalist. She has to be the reason why McDermott claps so much... he's doing it so he doesn't get a complaint from someone to HR!

At least folks "whining" about the team are actually commenting on football, which is why we're here. These comments complaining about other fans are just idiotic and contribute nothing to the conversation. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
