Eastport bills Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 9 minutes ago, The Jokeman said: In today's NFL LBs are similar to RBs in that they aren't as important. I mean we've played nickel 90% of the time on D. If I had to choose importance of Edmunds on the D, I think White, Hyde, Power, Milano, Hughes/Rousseau and maybe Oliver I'd rate more important/better. You're saying he's less important than rotational D-linemen, and a rookie and 36 year old who is gone at years end at that. Milano's great but he's effective in tandem with Tremaine similar to the Bucs LBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, you are right: generally guys play better when they play next to a guy who is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Klein made plays all over the field today. I like him against run heavy teams like Indy and the Pats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I want Beane to find a way to sign both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyBillsFan Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I have been a harsh critic of his and was underwhelmed by his play in his first 3 years. Remember we traded up to pick 16 and he was nowhere near that level. But I think he has definitely gone up a notch this year. If he could improve at the same rate by the end of the year then I would like to see him get a contract extension. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're dealing with possible future contracts and cap money you have to look at all your players. You can't sign them all. Especially with $44M tied up on Josh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense overcomes a host of offensive shortcomings. The way we are holding offenses down make us the formidable team we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigpen65 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Hope Klein keeps starting.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 2 hours ago, Eastport bills said: It's a good thing you don't make personnel decisions. Edmunds is a freakish athlete that makes plays sideline to sideline. Speed, length and 22 years old. He is our QB on defense and it's the top rated defense in football. Your problem with him is his long hair? He doesn’t make that many plays though. That’s what many of us keep pointing out. Klein made as many great plays today as Edmunds has all year. He is a freakish athlete that lacks instincts. He is playing better this year than last year and the have another year to figure out if they should extend him. No way should Beane sign him long term this off season. They can still franchise him too. Plenty of time to make him truly earn a long term deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMDman Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Klein and Edmunds are 2 completely different players, AJs strength is defending the run while Tre's is defending the pass. one is definitely flashier in the box score but Tremaine is more important to the d imo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what you truly have before you put a ring on it. But to call him a freakish athlete is pretty funny. And newsflash, he's not getting a freakish 2nd contract.

First off , what a pleasure it is to have Klein as depth. He's more nasty and ferocious than Edmunds. But it's a passing league and like you said, Edmunds is way better in that aspect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremaine is probably the best pass coverage mlb to ever play in Buffalo. But he is different from Klein. He does more of the traditional things a mlb is known for. I'm not denying this is a very frustrating scenario for fans. But in the end it will be Sean's call as to Edmunds future? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think him being a Captain going on 3(?) years now, we're going to extend him but I understand why fans are frustrated as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
