One of the more insightful player/coach interviews you’ll see
yeah that would be horrible run blocking and really bad on the rbs to not get good yards vs 7 man fronthe's totally right, if we can't run against a 7 man front then we're not going to have the offense we're hoping to see.
Great interview. Nice intelligence. So I watched his highlights, not that impressed.
Depends on the poison picked IMO...may be a weekly-to-week shuffle.But Shady McCoy -- who knows a little bit about the RB position and blocking scheme fits -- sure seems to be impressed.
So there's that.
I believe the area where Edmonds may shine is in the pass game. His best season thus far is 53 receptions for 402 yards and 4 TD's.
With #10, #17, #11 and #88 getting so much attention from defenses, I believe it's more likely than not that he eclipses those numbers. Maybe by a lot.
Edmonds has got that dog in him.
He's going to really emerge this year.
Crazy good snag by McD.
I Am Athlete is an exciting and revealing platform. Ex-players know how to ask better questions and they get way better answers
i had no idea about his fit in this system.I’ll definitely give you credit for being one of the ones with conviction on him being good for our system.
I’m skeptical…and happy to be wrong!
well saidLove the comments about Waddle. We are going to have an offense finally that is playing chess. I am expecting a ton of chunk yardage where Ingold or Smythe or somebody else unexpected is open through diversion and they literally keep running...like 25..30 yard plays.
We have not had an offense that has been well designed and that includes the Gase years.
I agree with you, Edmonds will have some success out of the backfield catching passes as an option if the WRs and TEs are not open. He is a good runner especially if there are some clear-outs by the receivers.But Shady McCoy -- who knows a little bit about the RB position and blocking scheme fits -- sure seems to be impressed.
So there's that.

This new offense, what has to happen for this offense to be successful?
"The connection from Tua to #10 and #17 has to be great. People say it starts with the run game, but when teams scheme for us, the first two people that are going to come on the board is #10 and #17. So we are not going to see 8 in the box. And we if we can't run against a 7 man box, we ain't going to be a successful offense anyways. They are going to play us deep. Safety is not going to be at 8 yds. (LeSean McCoy: "Hell no!") There won't be too many 1 high's. So if we have an elite connection between #1, #10, and #17, that starts it off for us. And this offense bro, it will abuse 7 in the box."
Shady asked Edmonds what his fantasy football stats will be this year.
"Top 10 RB PPR. I'm going to get grabs. No prediction how much I will run for, but I will hit a career high this year."
Who has surprised you the most?
"It's not surprising, but Jaylen Waddle....I thought JW was just speedster guy. When I saw he had 100 catches and only 1,000 yds I thought he is just a dink and dunk. But Jaylen Waddle is going to snap this year. He is a way better route runner than I thought. His release game is crazy. I've seen 1v1 reps against X, Carlton Davis (Lesean McCoy: "He was killing those boys."). He is a go getter. People forget he has a 40" vertical. He goes and gets the ball and he plays with no fear."
