gonzo1105 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 He’s played well this year so far. The Combo of Miller and better DTs(in particular Daquan Jones), has really helped him so far this year. Not sure I’d still pay him the money it would require to keep him 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 He’s not worth the money. He couldn’t tackle Lamar in open space and almost cost us the game. I don’t like him. Those are the most likely. I don’t dislike him, and I think if he played in a more attacking defense they’d coach him up much differently. He’s going to get a great payday and I think he’s going to have a good career as long as he’s healthy. I will not be angry with whatever they decide to do with him. I’m happy to keep him and I’ll cheer for him elsewhere as long as he’s not playing Buffalo. 2 minutes ago, Warcodered said: So I guess the Elephant in the room is who gets thrown under the bus now?

newcam2012 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 On 9/19/2022 at 8:05 PM, Alphadawg7 said: Edmunds has now had good games in back to back to weeks. This includes big impact plays tonight including sack and tipping a pass for an Int. One drive he dominated the Titans for 3 downs to almost single handedly force them off the field. So since everyone starts a thread trashing him even after good games, I figured it was time he got a thread praising his play because he’s been very good these first 2 weeks. He still has to prove it the rest of the season to see where he fits in the Bills future plans, but he’s off to a very good start and he has earned some praise. Have to agree with your post. Edmunds was very good today. He has had a solid season thus far. Was never a fan on his but I have to say I'm clearly changing my mind. He is looking like a keeper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was vastly operated in the past but he's playing very well this year! Strength and conditioning coaches get er done!! I won't rag on 49 for today. Although if I were him getting bulldogged or thrown out of plays would make me ....humble.? I also would like to ponder that wasn't he an OLB/DE in college?.....and then they sent him from the edge today and he killed it. I have never understood the reasoning behind forcing him to MLB. Put Bernard in the middle....send 49 from the outside like Reddick. Ya'll heard it here first. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem Bob you weren't the first to say it on this board, he has prototypical size and speed for it. He does look a lot better this season and I think thats great, he's not moving outside obviously not on this team at this point anyway.

GunnerBill Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) 12 hours ago, GoBills808 said: LBs are picking up the injury slack They are balling Milano and Edmunds. Absolutely balling. A combined 22 tackles yesterday, including two TFL each - Milano having the critical one near the goalline on that final drive that led a play or two later to the Po Pick. For Edmunds the request was more splash plays. He had 7 TFLs the whole of last year. He has 4 through 4 weeks. He also (through three weeks, number still to be updated for last night) has the lowest completion % allowed and the lowest yards per completion allowed in pass coverage of his career so far. If the Bills not extending him before this season was intended to light a fire then consider the fire lit. Eyeball test, numbers, splash plays.... it is all there. I do think Jones in particular is helping up front. He is keeping the linebackers cleaner, although last night I actually thought the Ravens did a good job on him and yet still Edmunds and Milano made plays. They are confident, they are decisive and they are the heartbeat of this Bills defense right now (though Greg Rousseau matching his rookie sack production through four games and Von Miller pitching in with 3 isn't hurting either). And this is probably the tougher stretch of the schedule in terms of offenses they are playing. Patriots x2, Jets x2, Browns and Bears still to come (as well as the Steelers this week obviously).

LeGOATski Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Edmunds certainly seems to be answering Beane's call from this offseason. I think a lot of it has to do with the improved D line. We're seeing a part of Edmunds' game that has always been there, but he's playing with more freedom now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he looked sub-par and it was clear he wasn't being aggressive enough, a lot us criticized his play, rightfully so. It wasn't a personal attack! He's playing much better this year. I suspect he realized there was room for improvement. I'm sure McD and his position coaches have been pointing out ways he can improve, and he's apparently been receptive to their advise. I don't believe the criticisms from the past were unfair, and I don't think anyone here has an axe to grind with him. We're thrilled that he's playing the way we hoped he would. Why would we continue to criticize if he's playing well? Edited October 3, 2022 by SoMAn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Just now, Dopey said: He’s way more important than Knox, IMO. I was in favour of the Knox extension I actually think he is super talented. Other than Kyle Pitts there isn't a tight end in football (aged 25 or under) that I'd take over him. He is playing hobbled at the moment which is hurting him a bit but I have been worried by his use in the Ken Dorsey offense. Maybe because of the injury they are not asking to him to do as much as they would otherwise but it started in LA before he got hurt against TEN. They are using him as a blocker. He should be a passing game mismatch as he was a lot last year, especially in the redzone and the fringe redzone area. It is concerning having signed him to that deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what we were waiting for, consistent play. 4 good games in a row. Before it was a lot more of good game, bad game.
