How good are Edmunds & Milano this season? Cover1 breaks it down.

As much as some Bills fans dis Edmunds, the professionals in the NFL love him.  The role of the MLB in today's game is to eat space, NOT to make a lot of splash plays or to thump RBs.  If the play comes to him, he makes it, but he's the sponge that shrinks the field letting all the other defenders have the advantage over the offensive players.  Edmunds has always had the size and speed, but now he's also had the experience that helps him avoid bad gap choices (which was a problem early in his career).

 

Edmunds is a little banged up and there's a chance he won't play Sunday.  Fortunately this is against the Steelers and not against a high powered offense, so the Bills should win anyway, but if he doesn't play we'll all get a chance to see how the Bills D looks running on regular unleaded instead of super premium.  

 

There's a good chance that the Bills simply can't match the offers that Edmunds will get from other teams.  But if they can figure a way to make that work, they should do whatever it takes to keep him around.

Edmunds has always been a good player. Very good at times especially with what he’s asked to do in the passing defense.

 

He has taken it to another level this season. Do not let this man go. The Bills have developed him and now have a beast on their hands.

Best LB tandem in the NFL and Milano is the best LB in the NFL...Bills are just amazing at drafting players on D...seems pretty much everyone they take ends up being a good player no matter where they are picked.

 

PFF also grades him as the highest graded LB so it must be true!

This thread is going to make some people angry.

 

No one is angry that Edmunds is playing at a more consistent level. I've been waiting 4 years to see him take a step. He hasn't reached the ceiling that his physical abilities promised and probably never will at this point, but he is no longer an outright vulnerability like he has been in the past.

'It's just incredible how they've managed to field a top 3 defense since installing as captain an outright vulnerability in the middle field'
