I 100% guarantee you that if he had more of an impact in turnovers and negative plays he’d stay in Buffalo as one of the highest paid LBs in the league.

Re: Where do we go FA or Draft
Edmunds best year stat wise was his rookie year. Not by much but it was his best year. So why can’t we bring in a rookie that can play as well as Edmunds did his rookie year?Retired Air Traffic Controller

I always mention too, in Edmunds 1st year, we used 3 linebackers more, Milano played the other side and we used Lorenzo Alexander.

Originally posted by Mace View PostDoesn't look like there is one in this draft. There are hitters against the run with limited range uncertain in coverage, and lighter rangers who get stuck on linemen in the run game. Either would be workable if we had a dc who could scheme for his players, but we don't.

Re: Where do we go FA or Draft
Buffalo only has two free agents that I consider to be difference makers: Tremaine Edmunds and Jordan Poyer. I expect they will keep one and let the other walk. Between the two, I think it makes far more sense to keep the 24 year old Edmunds and let the 31 year old Poyer walk. But then maybe I'm biased against aging players because I'm so young myself.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

In fact unless Poyer's wife has a change of heart he's gone.

I think Poyer's gone. I hate to see it because he's still an excellent player, but it just doesn't make sense to give big money to a 32 y/o coming off multiple injuries.

I mean there are solutions we just don't appear capable of.
- get the coverage guy and adjust the scheme
- get the hitter and adjust the coverages
Teams have succeeded with wee fast lb's, by swarming the ball and gang tackling. That's a hallmark of Tampa-2 coverage anyway. Teams have succeeded with a hitter in the middle, who can also rush and cover with a more limited range by adjusting the zones. But we don't move people around and adapt to anything. They used Miller as a semi wildcard, he's got to rotate snaps anyway, get someone else who can be a wildcard too that he can rotate with.
Doesn't seem they think like that though. They basically took a Tampa-2 defense and neutered it into a soft prevent defense scheme, figuring well, just keep stuffing better players into it.
They're going to run short next year, imho it's inevitable. Grab an LB or safety early in the draft you aren't going to get the future OL to take care of Allen, and they don't want to play rookies at critical positions anyway.
Dunno how this ends up, but it doesn't look promising to me atm.
