Lavar Edwards breakdown

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

Was asking around on the Bills boards about Edwards and found a guy who had obviously done his homework.  He stated:

He's got some tools. He can set an edge as a 4-3 defensive end and rush the passer quite well. He has strong pop in his hands that jolts TEs and tackles. Edwards played really well this preseason but his downfall was his ability to 2 gap. He took too many chances as a 3-4 DE at shooting gaps and it left gaps unattended and thus linebackers not clean. Fits the 4-3 much better

Here is a write up and breakdown of Edwards when he signed in Buffalo.  This does not include video from this preseason.

Good stuff, thank you. Let's see if we can drum up more discussion of our players than Drew Brees.

I'm encouraged. Thanks for that useful nugget

Well, at least now I can have a little hope of him sticking. We are his sixth team in his fourth season. I'm pretty sure that whatever led to his travels wasn't all scheme related, but making the Panthers will hopefully provide a good foundation for the young man. Stability for him, depth for us!

nice work

If we didn't have a track record of defensive nomads becoming solid contributors here I wouldnt be as excited to see what he can do.

Paired with the rest of the group, setting the edge is all we need half the time. That's all we were asking Allen to do. Set the edge, and let Short pressure from the middle and LBs come in to clean up on the running plays.

He really does have some long powerful arms. Good God.

14 snaps in preseason game 1, plus 2 ST snaps

11 snaps game 2 / 1 ST

40 snaps game 3 / 2 ST

49 snaps game 4 / 3 ST

If he shows anything to them he will be given a chance. Delaire was certainly given a decent number of snaps fresh off the boat.

This guy has me so curious.  Really hope he can come in and get on pace.  It always helps to have more player come "online" right as the playoffs arrive.

He really does look like he owns lineman in those videos but obviously those are kind of highlightish. Seems like a decent player that needs some stability to grow a bit.
