Both the BNews and D&C ran articles today about that first drive by Favre on Saturday. Here is one refering to Ron Edwards.
I have watched him since he started in 2002. Very talented but two major weaknesses. Physically he never really learned getting low so that he has a firmer anchoring (meaning the guards will have a tougher time moving him aside). Mentally he carries a reputation of not giving 100% every snap, something Pat Williams had in college as well but got a real lesson when going undrafted in NFL.
He is, however, the best inside pass rusher we had for the last 12 years.
Right now I feel that our opponents will have more success running than they did last year but less success at passing with Edwards in there - I make this prediction based on the assumption that he's going to give his effort 100% because this is his contract year.
Forget about what he did in preseason games so far. When the real bullet flies on Sept. 11, you know teams are going to game plan for individuals. I can easily see that they double team Adams on running plays and double team Edwards should Edwards making penetration on a somewhat regular basis.
