Admit it People

Edmunds is not the bad tackler a lot of people on here seem to think he is: https://steelersdepot.com/2021/01/missed-tackles-report-steelers-vs-browns-wild-card-game/

According to that Hilton, Fitz, Sutton, Williams, Haden, Spillane, and Dupree all missed at a higher rate.

 

Kind of thought that was the direction the conversation was going. Didn't realize he was on the field that much.

 

Terrell is a bonafide SS in this league & the Steelers have improved that position with his play. Where's all the disappointment with the scrubs trying to take his spot if he is such a liability? I'm probably more guilty than most when it comes to passing judgement but the kid has been a model player.

 

Coming back and making a tackle after someone slows him down shouldn't count. That's why I don't like these stats

 

All I can say is like I told DK. Take one game of Your choice, and only watch him. Nothing else and come back , and tell me how good he is.

By the way How come nobody talked about D. Johnson being the only players on that Claypool sweep not knowing the play, and going out on a route instead of blocking??? LoL

 

He's not terrible but he's not great either. Wasn't worth a 1st round pick. 1st round pick is supposed to be a pro bowl level guy at least. He isn't even that. He's an average NFL safety.

 

Exactly, if Edmunds had been a round 2 or 3 pick, people wouldn't be on case so much. But, when your a 1st round pick, you better be HOF bound or Steelers fan base will whip on you

 

This right here is what is called the Belief Bias, a social tendency to judge conclusions based on the plausibility of that person's own conclusions as opposed to the actual conclusions themselves; the career of Terrell Edmunds being the latest case and most recent example. In other words, just because the Steelers have so many players in Canton does not necessarily mean every player must be a home run hit. Realistically speaking, any player past pick 20 is Boom or Bust anyhow.



Now, do I agree that Terrell Edmumds was a reach?! Based on the players still available, it is fair to say it was. Now, that said, the Steelers still needed a Safety heading into the 2018 Draft; a Strong Safety at that. Jessie Bates nor Justin Reid (more specifically what was happening during this time period as well regarding his brother) where not constituted as good fits. Terrell Edmunds had already been in acquaintance with Colbert, Tomlin and Butler long before the Draft. As such, Edmunds was the pick at the time.




Overall, this ultimately comes down to the immense misconception that every 1st Round Pick must be a smashing success. Sadly..... that is not how the NFL Draft works. Not every pick will be a success for a team; Steelers or otherwise. Should Terrell Edmunds be voted to the Pro Bowl, he would constitute as a success.

 

From what I seen of Him. Anything more than a 4th round was 2 much. I Laugh if You tell me I haven't watched Him , or the Games. I've freaking broken His tape down so much...I wish I hadn't.

 

Breaking the tape down. What happened to just watching the games and enjoying them?

 

You watch the games for enjoyment? What a loser.

Did you even read the contract? You signed up to be a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, long-suffering and clinging on to the "glory days." (See what I did there?)

 

Anyone else notice that as soon as I said Glenn liked me, he got all quiet and shy. I bet he's counting the days until Valentine's Day to send me a card. Sorry, Glemm, I'm taken.

 

Obviously the Steelers Brass didn't think he was worth the 5th year option and I agree.
It's in Edmond's best interest to play above the line this season.
He won't get a second contract in Pittsburgh.

 

I do that. First.
I just enjoy doing the other also. Mostly after the season when Football is over.

 

I don't think Edmunds is great by any stretch. I just don't think he is the poor tackler people are making him out to be. His problem is not tackling. It is the almost complete lack of splash or the ability to make a play on the ball.

 

I don't think passing on the 5th year option is the same as not wanting him back.
Depends on the price.

The option was $6.75 M, which is about 20th in the league for safety salary this year.
(With 64 starting safeties, that is top 3rd money.)
I could see them possibly wanting him back for "average safety" money, which is around $3-4 M /year.
(Question is, what are Edmunds & agent aiming for?)

 

Why wait for Valentine’s Day?

 

Why do you say those two were not good fits? Steelers needed both Free and Strong safeties. They had Mike Mitchell and Sean Davis at the end of 2017, two very subpar safeties. There was 1st round worthy need at both safety positions.

 

Ok, apparently math is not your strong point. On average, a player who makes the pro bowl has a career of 11.7 years. 32 players are taken in the first round. Not counting rounds 2-7, that puts 374 pro bowl players in the league in any given year.

I guess taking Bates to dinner and having Reid in for a visit was just subterfuge

 

Bingo

If a 1st rounder gets a second contract from the NFL after three years + in Pittsburgh, it should be considered a success pick imo.

 

We'll probably disagree on this, but it's okay. I think he actually played it well. He peeked inside and moved toward the line. But he reacted well to the cutback and met the RB near the LOS. He went low, which was the thing to do. Low man wins. That was good in-the-box play. He just didn't tackle well and the RB almost ran out of it. So he played it right, just didn't finish. Personally, I don't think he makes that right decision the majority of the time, nor do I think he makes a solid tackle the majority of the time. So I'm not sold on him. He's been here long enough to be decisive AND effective. He's neither, IMO.
