Yeah was amazing how he turned out at LB after the other teams and positions he played. I remember I was "meh" back then when Bills signed him. I was pleasantly surprised though. But yeah, would be wonderful if they could get another player like him. I have my doubts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a weak link and must up his game this coming season. Everyone likes to say he is young. Well he is going into his 4th season. Time to man up or go play another sport. Let's check in next year on this. Many experts coaches and players disagree with you on this. Pro Bowl may be overrated, but it's usually that players get in on reputation, but in this case, what reputation? Maybe they're seeing something you don't. He was the captain and middle linebacker on a Top 3 defense just two years ago. Maybe we should take into account that last year was a very weird season plus he was playing hurt for most of it. Also, dude was playing with one arm yet people here were calling him soft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looks kind of small, not very fast, like he doesn't hit very hard and a lot of his tackles were down the field for first downs. If I were him I'd try to have that one taken down, but what do I know? I trust Beane, so I'm glad they signed a guy they liked. These one year contracts can always be camp cuts if it doesn't work out. Edit: I think it's amazing that you can instantly find video on just about any player at any time. It makes FA signings so much more interesting. Edited March 31, 2021 by Gene Frenkle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I just have not seen him dominate a whole lot over his 3 seasons. I was hoping w all the hype on him being this young phenom being drafted at age 20, that he would turn into a Bobby Wagner type player who just knocks the stuffing out of guys. I love the Bills and want every player to play lights out. I hope Edmunds can become that this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuff423 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Knowing nothing about Tyrell when the Bills announced the signing, I've since watched some Cover1 stuff on Twitter. While I don't know that it drastically changes anything for the Bills in terms of immediate production, I will say that I'm more impressed than the name would indicate. Cover1 did a nice job of cutting some of the plays and showing what he can do and honestly, in terms of depth and adding to the overall roster - hard to believe there's much out there at this point, a.k.a. price point, that could do a better job of having a legitimate chance of adding depth to a position that needs it.

Yeah other than Sanders maybe, which imo brings a little more than Smoke. But yeah, was hoping for a "impact" type player that could help get them over the hump. Cap situation has prevented that to some degree I guess. But we will see how things play out. Maybe a surprise player makes that difference hopefully.

I don’t really view Ertz as an impact signing. Potential impact players at DE/Edge: Bud Dupree, 28 (TEN) - signed for 5 years/$82.5M, 2021 cap $5.1M [2020: 8 sacks, 8 TFL, 15 QB hits] Trey Hendrickson (CIN) - signed for 4 yr/$60M, 2021 cap $12.5M [2020: 13.5 sacks, 14 TFL, 28 QB hits] Matt Judon, 29 (NE) - signed for 4 yr/$54.5, 2021 cap $6.4 [2020: 6 sacks, 9 TFL, 21 QB hits] Carl Lawson, 26 (NYJ) - signed for 3 yr/$15M, 2021 cap $14.3M [2020: 5.5 sacks, 4 TFL, 32 QB hits] JJ Watt, 32 (AZ) - signed for 2 yrs, $28M, 2021 cap $4.9M. [2020: 5 sacks,14 TFL,17 QB hits] Yannick Ngakoue, 26 (LV) - signed for 2 yrs, $26M, 2021 cap $13M [2020: 8 sacks, 7 TFL, 11 QB hits] Shaq Barrett (who I would have loved), Romeo Okwara, and Carlos Dunlap chose to re-up with their current teams. Production on Bills: Jerry Hughes 4.5 sacks, 4 TFL, 11 QB hits Mario Addison 5 sacks, 7 TFL, 8 QB hits AJ Epenesa 1 sack, 3 TFL, 4 QB hits The way I look at it, QB hits are "skirting the line" - if the ball is gone and the ref decides you took too many steps, then they're a penalty. Clearly there are a couple of FA who could have helped us - Trey Hendrickson led the list for me, followed by Yannick Ngakoue. But for a lot of them, when you really look into it, there may be some aspect of "bright shiny!" And of course the Bills aren't just looking at sack or TFL production - they're looking at how does this guy play every snap, how does he execute what we believe to be his assignment?
