Bing Bong Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) 39 minutes ago, DJB said: Always thought that Milano and Edmunds needed to swap spots. Milano is far better at sticking his nose in and shedding blocks and making those tough tackles. Edmunds needs to be moved to OLB but he CANNOT return on a long term deal as our MLB. I agree. But ideally, shouldn't all linebackers have Milano's mentality? To me it just seems like a prerequisite. It's what frustrates me the most about Edmunds Edited December 17, 2021 by FormerlyPT5P 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His instincts are not good, he never hits the right rushing gap and he gets thrown around when he is near the LOS. You are basically signing a LB who is good in coverage and that’s it. He doesn’t create many turnovers and he doesn’t get sacks. The only thing that he has working for him is that he is young and will probably get a little better. never will understand the thought. The player is either worth keeping or not. and he is ONLY worth keeping if he is worth paying. Milano is fine example. If a player is Okay ? He is not nearly good enough. Role players can live near vet min. If Mc Beanes need to adjust away from Tremaine over next two years? I would not fault them. MLB really should should be able to blow a RB out of his socks before he reaches the line of scrimmage. and should be feared. Klein his second season here made big plays I like that red haired lunatic who excels on teams lined up on run plays. Killer attitude 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 well, we have the rest of this season and hopefully playoffs to get a final 4 year grade on edumnds. he has the attributes physically to be really good or great, but his skills and his mind are very much in question. part of the issue w how mcd runs his d (which has had great success here and in other places, so you can't just say blow it all up right now) is he demands such a variety of skills from his LBs, puts his DBs in an advantage position (which is great) and needs his DL to be endlessly running so he wants basically 8 starters there (mad expensive, and in our case we have two lines of solid back ups, but lacking in top notch talent and just a dearth of physicality). so while i'd love to see edmunds upgraded, im not sure who can come along and be the keuchly for us.

I keep forgetting how young he was when he entered the NFL. I feel like with the right contact he is worth the risk to see if he can turn into a elite NFL mlb.

He does 50% of his job well on pass coverage. Whoopdedo.....last I checked there's still alot of NFL teams not afraid to run the ball down our throat. Not so Tremainedous just sucks at all aspects of run support. And therefore he's a liability. If he wants to try OLB for under $10M fine? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False narrative C O K plenty of time he is not instinctual as to where the ball is or where the play is going. And will not play downhill to blow up the RB and or play. He plays horizontally and arm tackles Not a hater But absolutely want a new MLB this off season On 12/17/2021 at 5:16 PM, LABILLBACKER said: He's not even worth Milano money.

Thing is , he tries to do exactly what is asked of him. even when it is certainly needed he need to get off the block and make the play. he must have weak legs lol cause he cannot drive a blocker backward ever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Bong Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Barkevious Mingo was also a monster athlete. I really don't want to hear about it if that's his best attribute. Pretty sure Ray Lewis would have still been an elite LB if he was an average athlete. His aggressive mentality and football instincts were really what separated him. I also think there's plenty more Jon Beasley's and London Fletchers that get criminally overlooked compared to the Edmunds and Mingo's of the world. To summarize, I think a good LB's best attribute is how well they can play football. Edited December 19, 2021 by FormerlyPT5P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random TBD members who spend their afternoons drinking 40s know far more than paid NFL coaches, pundits, and former players. Didn’t you get the message? The truly informed know Tremaine is a horrible player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamptonBillsfan Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 For all you obsessed Edmunds haters, the guy is in the middle of a great defense. He calls the signals,routinely leads the team in tackles and has incredible speed and length. Some of the experts on this board would prefer A.J. Klein in the middle. He will be a Bill for at least his next contract. Sorry. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Zabka Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Edmunds played pretty well today against a putrid depleted Jets offense. The good offenses take adavantage of Edmunds overpursuit and lack of physicality. Edmunds is a tremendous ath,lete that looks good at times but the lack of instinct, physicality, and inabilty to get off blocks will always hold him back from being a complete LB. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsShredder83 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Edmunds is huge to this defense. It took me understanding his role. The run game shot is annoying. But him being a giant fn human obstacle in passing lanes is a MUST in mcds unit. He's basically the biggest zone db smack dab in the middle. Champ Baileys stat line used to loom like he didn't play... same thing here. His shortcoming are glaring, but the things that DON'T happen because of him are harder to see. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
