I agree with the production part as well ragtime. That tells you the kid has instincts. Edmunds for the Bills is a freak athlete but just bad at linebacker. He gets manipulated by qbs eyes easy takes bad angles, just not very good at linebacker.
It's cool to see chad getting noticed like he is. Hope he has a good combine.
I would disagree with Edmunds being not good at LB. He’s 30th in tackles and is a solid LB. He just isn’t a play maker. He tackles the guys he’s suppose to tackle and generally is in the right place but he’s not out there turning the momentum of the game with a play. I recall the tv announcers recalling how edmunds doesn’t have many INTs or they wanted him to make more plays. Something like that. If you rebuilding a D, you couldn’t go wrong with Edmunds
But in a 4-2-5 defense, which is pretty much what the Bills run, you do need a playmaker at linebacker. Especially since there's only 2 of them.
The bills were a top D with edmunds so I’m not really sure the stats say you’d be correct. Of course, any D would be better with playmakers at all positions. I’m not sure how much he’s making and where his contract is but the question is, can you upgrade at the position while saving money especially since the bills have one more season before they start taking a 30mil cap hit from Allen.
