Edmunds sends Tweet thanking Steelers

[SteelerOfDeVille]

must bother you to see ovi isn’t the homer you claim him to be..

sure seems that way...

[Buzz]

How dare you disagree with the Steelers front office. Don’t you know that every move they make is correct.?
You are a Debbie downer.
You should root for another team.
I think the Steelers know a little more than you do about this.
Trust the process.
The steeler way is the best way.
Do you know how many other teams wish they could not resign him?

the double-standard is the standard?

Sounds like he's gonzo.

He seems like a good guy. I wish him well. But as a first round pick, he was a disappointment. I had a third round game on him when he was drafted . He is not much better than Kazee who produces much more splash plays. We should NOT have a knee jerk reaction and waste a first or second round pick on a safety.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

Edmunds - 75 starts, five interceptions, no forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.

Kazee has 19 interceptions and seven forced fumbles in 53 career starts.

Dependable but lack of turnovers and splash plays is why they didn't pick up his 5th year option and why they are letting him walk.

Yep. Edumunds produced few Interceptions and does not make a forced fumbles or collect may lose balls. He is burned on one on one coverage too. Good thing the Steelers seldom ask him to do that. He won't be missed.

Your entire analysis MO is doing a quick lookup of counting stats on profootballreference, or parroting combine measurements. This is why it's hard to take said analysis seriously.

Best example -- if you looked at Ryan Clark's stats, he wouldn't appear to have been much of a player.

But, when you hear Polamalu/Lebeau speak, your realize that RC was soo good a recognizing not only the plays, but TP's tendencies to go off script and cover his arse, that RC was critical because he allowed Troy to gamble while not leaving the defense completely vulnerable.

Sometimes a guy's value is significantly higher than his statistics indicate; this will be the case if the team grabs a real NT as well. An NT's 35 tackles will have some saying that they don't see the value

well, it also does the help when some of those people work hard to discount these players because they want a star at the position.

right - they make it seem like "improving the defense overall by allowing others to be better" is not a factor.

I suspect Edmunds did a little of that for Minkah

what stood out to me was the Buffalo game that he missed. Our pass D was carved up for huge plays. That first TD on 3rd and 11 inside their own 10 was a back breaker.

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

thing of it is, we keep saying how he's available, but that's so 2021... he missed game(s?) in 2022... i remember seeing him in street clothes running on the field to celebrate in the end zone (i think it caused a penalty)

I distinctly remember missing him being on the field for 3rd & 10 on the first drive of the Bills game.
