Is it time to be concerned with numbnuts starting a thread for every little thought that comes into his tiny cranium?
Is there a thing as too small a head, Coach?

I understand football just fine twatwaffle. If you want to talk posters you are by far the dumbest poster on this site. And that is saying a lot. Your football IQ is zero now go **** yourself.

I think he is athletic enough and has great size for his position, what I see is bad technique in coverage and slow reaction to the developing play. All this can be fixed with practice and hitting the film room, he has to remember that if he is assigned to be the FS he can't jump on play actions or fakes, if he is in zone he gotta be aware of the routes that are crossing it and jump on them, etc.
I mean, I'm no coach but it all looks like his failurea can be fixed with proper technique and that's on his position coaches and himself

I hate 40 times for football. Football is not track. Just because someone is fast does not make them a good player. If you have slow reaction time or are not physical enough or agile enough you could be Bolt and be a terrible football player. Even if all the physical traits are there you still need to have a high football IQ and good coaching. Edmunds physical numbers seem fine so i still think there is some hope, but that would rely on our coaching staff to bring out the talent...

pretty sure I am that guy
I'm not aware of missed tackles as an official stat. I'd be interested in such a stat. Where are you getting this?

agree 100%. i think, just like with burns, its a case of over-thinking the selection.

Edmunds is still a very good athlete and that's what he has going for him. He really hasn't looked like a 1st rounder in his 1st 2 years but it took Bud 5 years so there is still hope. I would have said Davis won't be back but with his injury, they may be able to get him relatively cheap. He is not a bad backup and possible starter who can play multiple positions. We still haven't gotten to see him play at one position 2 years in a row yet. So, he has that going for himself as well.
Oh another Cooch, "Pat myself on the back" attempted thread. You had a 3rd round grade on him my ***, you mean WalterFootball had him as a third round grade or some other draft site where you get all of your "analysis" from. Everyone sees through your BS, no one believes you have football IQ except for you hahahaha
no way blitz you have never came across as an idiot
I'm with Coach on this one. Edmunds is the weak link. He's responsible for the last 2 TDs. The one in the Bills game, there was only one player deep on his side of the field, and he doesn't move to him, because he's staring at the QB. Last game he took a false step up and the WR got behind him. The WR made an incredible catch, but it would have been defended if Edwards was playing deep instead of trail position.
The microcasm of his season is diving in front of the player deep and being no where near the TD pass that was completed easily over his head...

Ah the Coach “Draft Grades”
Based on his minutes of experience evaluating draft boards on other sites.
A true expert on drafting is Coach

He pulled it right out of his ***. With half of the other **** he flat out makes up.

So Mr. Dumb *** starts early with his usual two sided idiot speak.
Leads the team in tackles, but also leads the team in missed tackles?
Wrong, as usual. Going into week 17, Edmunds has 10 missed tackles against 98 combined tackles (leads team). His missed tackle percentage is 9.3, which is 11th on the team.
You really spit crap out of your mouth with unnerving ease. If you are wanting attention, dress up like a clown and stand outside shouting you are an evaluator of players. You definitely will get the attention you crave.
Sure, Edmunds hasn’t been a splash play maker, and his coverage game has taken a step back, but his role changed when Minkha arrived and outside of Hilton, has blitzed far more than any other DB. I’d say it’s safe to say, if you let him learn to play with one safety in stead of three, he can get better at anticipating the other player. Minkha definitely ahead of him there, hence the high draft slot.

it's a good point that Edmunds's role changed when Minkah arrived. Edmunds makes mental mistakes and is slow to read things at times. Athletically, he's fine. I see him running with WRs all the time. He has long arems to be a good coverage player too,
His problem is that Va Tech used him in the box a lot so he's still learning coverage. He does not have great instincts for it yet. Davis is in the same boat. He was moved between positions in college and with the steelers. He still has some great upside. So does Edmunds.
Edmunds has not been bad. He just hasn't been great. He's just OK so far but could still develop into a playmaker next to Minkah

.......in his second year...gheez. A bit premature to say “long past”. It usually takes 3 years to gauge a players ceiling.
Then perhaps his talent is being squandered by inept coaching? I give the kid credit for his athleticism and physicality but he’s getting paid to do a job. It’s either lapses of concentration or his coaches are not putting him in the proper positions to make plays. His tackling sometimes is ineffective but that can be corrected with proper coaching. Maybe I’m too critical but this year’s version of the Steelers has depended on a shut down Defense that can also take away footballs; any mistakes are magnified.
not a big fan of Edmunds - particularly since he let that INT in the endzone go right between his hands that resulted in a TD - but do see that he's been moved around and had to learn how to play on the fly.
oh, and since Cooch now hates him, I suggest we sign him long term.
