KingJoseph Edwards Appreciation Thread

Love his skill set but let’s not get carried away. One sack was a TE screen that was poorly executed by HC. Second was a RPO where the HC QB made a terrible read.

He will be a good one in time. But his body is not nearly ready to be an every down player for this team.

Agree with your take here. He was mostly in the right place at the right time, but not like he was destroying the tackle or anything.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Why not consider him as a lb?

 

[tep624]

Couldn’t have happened to a better kid. I was really happy to see him get some run and take advantage of it.

Also nice seeing Hornsby and Tremble get catches too.

We have a lot of guys with the right size and body type...who are never in the right place at the right time. Let the Kid Play

How many tackles and or sacks did Diggs get yesterday?

why does that have to be a factor? DEnds aren’t destroying our tackles either they’re just running around them. Sometimes quick is better than big and not quick.

there is a package spot for KJE but then Robinson is going to have to change up some things.

 

[Norman Dale]

Don’t tell me that is was only against Holy Cross. Our starters were playing against Holy Cross too and were less impactful than KJE. He needs PT, we have no pass rush and he brings that!

I had my binoculars on Diggs a lot of the game. One blocker almost half his size contained him all day.

I don’t disagree with you. We had a few players with a similar size/skill set that transferred out, and he fills a need. I’m all for giving him snaps on 3rd and long. I was just agreeing with a poster who broke down his sacks, and said he was not ready to be an every down player. did not say he didn’t play well or deserve snaps. I did not see rips, spins, swims, bull rush, or speed rush that jump off the page. Did see a quick guy with ability to track down the qb and tackle him, which as many have said, has been missing with others.

He doesn’t fit in the 3 man DLine. He’s too skinny, he’d get creamed in the running game. So I think, 3rd down pass rush specialist except we only rush 3. So they better figure it out.

He’s quick, he has a knack for it and his one play of being disciplined was excellent.

In defenseof the the fourman line,the 3 man line should be shelved unless we also blitzing 3 backers.

I agree 100%.

We have people souring on his debut? Wth is going on around here? Imagine if he didn't do anything...

Some people just really want this coach to fail it feels and anything good is always paired with a “but”

Here’s what I saw, a kid who got subbed in with the ones come in and put pressure on the qb every single play he played and got 3 sacks.

I watched the whole game before that and watched our “star” DE not even get penetration.

KJE will absolutely get more run time and if he doesn’t it’s a crime

Agree. I was impressed by his spin and other moves. Even on the blown up tight end screen he did a good job containing and going up to jump first to disrupt a pass. He got the sack because of his athleticism. Of course he’s not big enough to be an every down guy but you can tell he has athleticism. And he looks like he’s already getting stronger from arriving to school early. He’s bigger than he was in the spring game.

I don’t know how you interpreted that as “coach to fail” but you do you.

He has talent. But two sacks were on poorly executed plays by Holy Cross. He still made the play. It was the equivalent of hitting wide open threes against Lemoyne up 30 with 5 minutes left.

I hope he becomes a great one for us and breaks every sack record we have. His frame isn’t ready to go up against ACC peers on an every down basis.

 

[OrangeinBoston]

KJE is the least of our problems. In fact, he is a (one of the few) bright spot.

Agreed. Huge positive to see but a different game when team is down 20 plus and in obvious passing situations . I’d expect he would be in 3rd down situations going forward
