KingJoseph Edwards Appreciation Thread

I was thinking Chandler Jones

That would be quite nice Jcuse.

I honestly think he should take Diggs spot on the end and have Diggs play as a rover LB position going forward. We will want Diggs on qb contain against that kid from UNLV for sure. He seems to be more effective playing off the line.

We need more creative rush assignments and more frequent blitzing. We are way too predictable. Playing Diggs at LB, as we did against GT, allows him to pick his spots and complicates blocking assignments - including how to double him. Our speed guys (KJE, David O and Lesaine) need more snaps. We should be blitzing our safeties and corners. They can get in the backfield in a flash and disrupt long pass plays.

No doubt ER knows this .. but lots of work left to do. It's probably a question of getting rotations figured out and preparing the players to run the blitz schemes.

Yeah very very similar build to Chandler

King likely can grow to same size as Chandler too.

Could be scary

Right! Like I said

It didn’t sound like his ability was what was keeping him off the field so far. It was the OTHER responsibilities. I guess that’s D.A.R.T. In action. The Accountability part.

Any chance we see KJE on Saturday? Cal has a weak oline and our pass rush leaves much to be desired, this would be the game to do it.

He's only played one game so far so no need to worry about burning a year yet.

He's played in 4 games.

Well there goes that idea.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Well there goes that idea.

1. If he plays the last three ithen there is no burning

2. We should always burn. No point in saving if a kid can leave at will.

 

[upperdeck]

it comes down to 2 things.

Does the kid playing help the team.
Does the kid want to play if he is not 100% ready.

If he plays can we get to a 4 man line? If not then does it help what we have out there.

 

[kingtidge]

He bigger than Donovan...

 

[AAM62]

He really needs to dedicate himself to the weight room

 

[Marroniac]

Feed him some of that Chunky Soup, Donovan.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

He really needs to dedicate himself to the weight room

Proper dedication to S&C would be an absolute game changer for him/the defense.

 

[GoSU96]

Kid is on the all potential team. That‘s not a bad thing.

 

[shu 49]

If he truly could add about 20 lbs andkeep his short term explosiveness and goto class on time he could be a player.

Is he having problems with classes?

 

[shu 49]

No but coach said earlier in year that he didnt play in a couple games cause he didnt like going to class on time.

Smh. All the charity stuff you do is all well and good, but you have to do the required things in life that aren't enjoyable. It's part of growing up and being an adult. I'm sure Fran is emphasizing that. Hope he gets it.

Me too.

He will. Just think of guys like OG and Cisco. Great examples of guys who came in with frames to work with and filled out accordingly as their career progressed. With their S&C program he will have massive gains this offseason and even more next.
