Football Outsiders breaks down Buffalo Bills rookie linebacker

Tremaine Edmunds The selection of Wyoming’s Josh Allen with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft received plenty of buzz for the Buffalo Bills Womens Kelvin Benjamin Jersey , but Buffalo’s second first-round pick, linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, has drawn rave reviews with his play in the offseason and through two weeks of the preseason. Edmunds, selected No. 16 out of Virginia Tech, is barely 20 years old. When he steps on the field to make his NFL regular-season debut Youth Matt Milano Jersey , Edmunds will be the second-youngest player to ever appear in an NFL game. Edmunds, who was 19 when he was drafted, was the second-youngest player drafted since 1967. He appears in line to start the season as Buffalo’s starting middle linebacker in the heart of defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier’s 4-3 defense. We asked Football Outsiders what gives Edmunds a chance at bucking that trend and excelling as the quarterback of Buffalo’s defense?“I don’t expect Edmunds to be an immediate hit. The tools are raw and obvious, which is why the Bills popped him where they did, but I think the instincts will take some time to develop Womens Zay Jones Jersey ,” Rivers McCown said. “I think if you’re to believe that he’s good right away, it’s because you have a lot of faith in a coaching staff that churned out good linebackers over and over again in Carolina: Luke Kuechly, Shaq Thompson, and so on.”History doesn’t have many examples of 20-year-old middle linebackers leading their defense. “I think instead you’ll see some splash plays -- the potential is there, and he’s obviously going to make some great things happen -- and you’ll see some lowlight reel stuff Womens Kyle Williams Jersey ,” warned McCown. “You’ll see some blown coverages, some bitten play-actions. Edmunds should be a fine building block in the long-term. I just wouldn’t expect great things instantly.”The Football Outsiders Almanac is available now. Josh McCown is set to make his first start of the season for the Jets on Sunday.Sam Darnold is injured and has been ruled out as the starter against the Bills, coach Todd Bowles said today. Bowles added, however, that it’s still possible Darnold could be active as McCown’s backup.Darnold has been struggling of late http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/micah-hyde-jersey , and he suffered a foot injury on Sunday that has him limited this week. That leaves the Jets down to McCown, the only other quarterback on their 53-man roster.Given how poorly Darnold has played in recent weeks, McCown may actually be an upgrade for the Jets’ chances on Sunday against a bad Bills team. McCown isn’t a great quarterback, but he’s probably competent enough to limit turnovers while the Jets’ defense should feast on the terrible Buffalo offense.It seems likely the Jets would call up Davis Webb off their practice squad if they decide to add another quarterback to their 53-man roster.
