You old farts need to accept change. Edge is a today term that means DE in 4-3 or OLB in a 3-4. It's been the standard term for a couple years now so people wouldn't confuse LBs with pass rush specialists.

Our current room of: Eric Wilson Alex Singleton TJ Edwards Davion Taylor Shaun Bradley is young and has talent. Overall it’s a better LB group than we had for SB52.

Overall it’s a better LB group than we had for SB52. Aren't they moving Avery to LB as well? Most of the time there are only 1 or 2 linebackers on the field. It's not the same game that needed 3 lbrs and guys like Trotter running full speed towards the hole he thought the RB was heading for. I think Singleton and Edwards can be starters with the guy they got from Minnesota. I would be interested to see what Avery brings to the position and hopefully Bradley and Taylor have improved enough to push for a starting spot.

Late 90's was when I think that term started being used? I dont think this has anything to do with age. I can accept that the NFL is basically flag football compared to what it was when I was 20 years old.

It must be fed at the expense of all other positions. 2. CBs you can get out of the discount bin. If you actually get a star CB in FA they immediately become mediocre to bad. 3. What's a Linebacker? Linebacker is a Strong Safety who just had cheese steak.

Overall it’s a better LB group than we had for SB52. Other than Singleton we need an every down LB ...and we do not have him on the roster. Every guy on your list other than Singleton is a package player or a backup.

He was supposed to be the answer, but instead we had to bring Wilson to fill the position. Don't hold your breath on Taylor..

It was pretty clear he was going to be a 1-2 year project when he was taken. Not saying I like it, but can’t change it. I want to see him contributing this year and I think he will. He’s a freak athlete.

May 2, 20214 yr 5 minutes ago, Talonblood said: They want to sound "trendy." "Edgy”? 🤔 Also, not directed at you, I just happened to see your post when I was about to say this. But people need to stop whining about position in the late rounds of the draft. At that point there are so few guys who are likely to contribute on an NFL team, you’ll be lucky to get one at any position.
May 2, 20214 yr 16 minutes ago, Talonblood said: They want to sound "trendy." Been referring to people as EDGE for at least a decade. Kind of hard to call it a trend at this point.
May 2, 20214 yr 31 minutes ago, Outlaw said: Been referring to people as EDGE for at least a decade. Kind of hard to call it a trend at this point. Trendy. Edge is simply DE. DE is what the position actually is. There is no reason to call a DE an "edge."
May 2, 20214 yr Just now, Talonblood said: Trendy. Edge is simply DE. DE is what the position actually is. There is no reason to call a DE an "edge." Edge isn’t simply DE. It’s used to describe guys who can either play DE in a 4-3 or OLB in a 3-4.
