Warriorspikes51 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) I think we have enough depth at LB with Dodson Bernard and Spector that we should try some 4-3 overloaded blitz looks with Tremaine next to Von. Edmunds really needs to make impact plays and this would give him more opportunities he’s looked good in my opinion when used as a blitzer up the middle Edited September 12, 2022 by Warriorspikes51 1 3 4 1 1 6 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigotz Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 So… you think that Edmunds would be an upgrade over Von, Groot, Basham, and Epenesa and we should put him in at 4-3 End … because you’d rather have Dodson, Bernard, or Specter at ILB? Why would we downgrade two positions for absolutely no reason… 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmunds played a great game against the Rams, to think any of the 3 that you mentioned would have played nearly as well is insane. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I don't know why this board is obsessed with moving Edumonds around. Edumonds may not be the strongest in run defense but he is pretty dam good in coverage for a team that values more coverage in the scheme from linebackers. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's built to play close to the LOS and rush the passer but even if he had been trained for that not all good pass rushers are good at blitzing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
