Personally, I'm glad Edwards is starting. It was painfully obvious over the last few weeks that JP was not the guy here, and that his career is over in Buffalo. I think we need to find out if Edwards can play, I think he has great potential. I also think the coaching staff screwed up again last week, they should have played him instead of JP, he needs all the time he can get.
But, does anyone actually think the offensive production will get better with him in there? I don't, and its not because of the playing ability of Edwards. I think Fairchild has this offense running so ass-backwards since the season began, that no matter who is playing it will be like pounding your head against a wall.
Until our mental midget of an offensive coordinator decides to open things up, remove our TEs from the gameplan, find favorable matchups for the few playmakers we have on offense, and actually attack a defense rather than letting them dictate what to run we will continue to struggle.
This weekend we will continue to see constant 2 TE formations. His idea of opening things up is to spread the TEs out as WR, this is the ultimate joke. We will continue to run left in critical situations and get killed. Josh Reed will continue running curl routes while Evans will be sent deep. Parrish will get his 3 or 4 catches for 25 yards because Fairchild doesn't use his speed to get to the second level. If Marshawn plays he WILL NOT be used as a recieving threat. All the good things Fred Jackson did this weekend will not carry over because Anthony Thomas will continue to get playing time for some reason that continues to baffle me.
I hate to be negative, but I don't think Edwards will be given a chance to succeed with Fairchild running the game. This guy must be fired at the end of the years. To be this unimaginative, boring and predictable on offense is getting annoying.
Hopefully Trent can get some valuable playing time, progress some and be ready to come out next year with a real offensive coordinator and scheme that allows him to make plays.
