He's always shown flashes of brilliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always shown flashes of brilliance. 643268[/snapback] He shows flashes of brilliance and 9 plays out of 10 he basically stinks. Horrible against the run. I am very glad he's gone actually. That experiment failed four or five years in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 he shows flashes of brilliance and 9 plays out of 10 he basically stinks. Horrible against the run. I am very glad he's gone actually. That experiement failed four or five years in a row. 643270[/snapback] I can't even understand why we tried to retain him. He plays WAYYY to high, which is why he consistently and easily gets brushed out of the way by interior o-linemen using proper technique. Honestly I preferred Bannan to Edwards.

Marv has other things to worry about then what the team looks like. That is a luxury that can come next year or the year after. His efforts need to be on getting a good product on the field.

That experiment failed four or five years in a row. 643270[/snapback] And I'd add to that by saying that those "flashes of brilliance" have come exclusively on one-gap pass rushes, something not uncommon among big guys with high centers of gravity. That same high center is the absolute worst trait for a run stuffer. Add to that a bad tackling shoulder and saying bye bye won't be difficult at all. IMO Anderson is a much different proposition- he's not starting material but he can be a productive member of a DT rotation, and in today's game you better be 4 deep at the position. Anderson is a major roster plus for a team like us weak at the starting interior spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardy Pyle Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 Interesting that Kummrie has first hand knowledge of the guy and wanted to sign him. Apparently we wanted him (but rejected our offer), Kummrie wanted him, but guys that watch football on TV on Sunday don't want him. I don't feel any better about losing him.

John from Riverside Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 To me it is all about filling roles..... I dont think Edwards fit into our plans anymore because Tripplet is now filling the role he had.....while Anderson will be the 3rd guy in rotation.... The problem is we haven't addressed the anchor DT role....but I assume we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you really watch Ron Edwards the last five years and think this guy is super productive? This guy is all over the field? This guy just makes plays? This guy is damn consistent? This guy does not suck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were kicking the idea of returning to a 3-4 a few months ago, I serioiusly thought Edwards could shift over and make a mean end in such a scheme. I think the guy has potential; whether he ever fully realizes it--who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
