Fragen und Antworten » Titans Week 5 Enemy Profile: Tremaine Edmunds

The Bills have easily been one of the worst teams in the NFL through four weeks Tennessee Titans Hoodie , but as the Vikings have shown, that does not mean you should look forward to the following game. That’s something the Titans need to keep in mind in this week’s matchup at Buffalo.Furthermore, the Bills are not completely devoid of quality players on the field. One of the team’s bright spots is first round rookie linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, drafted out of Virginia Tech at the age of 19. Go figure. Edmunds is extremely raw but has constantly flashed quality and has seemingly been everywhere on the field. He has 30 tackles through four weeks (also an overrated stat), a sack, a forced fumble, and four pass disruptions. He looks like a star in the making, and someone the Titans need to be careful going up against.For more on that, let’s dive into Tremaine Edmunds’ tape.gamepass.nfl.comFor his age (20), Edmunds’ pass coverage is extremely impressive. As shown against Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, a fellow rookie, he has the ability to undercut a route and catch up to the receiver. He lets Andrews break to the middle of the field, and as he does he shows quick hip movement Customized Tennessee Titans Jerseys , allowing him to catch up to the receiver and knock this Lamar Jackson pass away.gamepass.nfl.comEdmunds’ disruptions have caused a couple of interceptions to boot. Here, in zone coverage, he does an excellent job sprinting to Latavius Murray, popping the ball out of Murray’s hands and into Matt Milano’s. It’s hard to believe a 20-year old rookie is doing this stuff already.gamepass.nfl.comEdmunds’ discipline in pass coverage stands out as well, as he always seem to be in the right spot at the right time. Here, as Aaron Rodgers is set to pass off play action, Edmunds plants his feet and extends his hands to deflect this pass—intended for Jimmy Graham—and eventually it lands into the hands of Jordan Poyer for the interception. Needless to say, the timing was dead on.Tremaine Edmunds isn’t perfect, but he’s 20 years old, so that’s to be expected. While there’s obviously room for growth at his age, there’s little doubt that he’s a very talented linebacker with a high ceiling, and I think the Bills got a good one from this year’s draft class.Other players like defensive end Jerry Hughes, safety Micah Hyde www.authenticstennesseetitans.com , and corner Tre’Davious White stand out for the Bills defense, but it’s Tremaine Edmunds who looks like the biggest name on that side of the ball. As long as the Titans don’t do what the Vikings did in their loss to Buffalo and underestimate the opponent, they’ll be able to win underneath against the rookie.Still, Tremaine Edmunds is not someone you’d want to scoff over.“Igniting the Fire” Episode Two Recap Last week the Titans unveiled the first episode of their new behind-the-scenes video series called “Igniting the Fire”. If you missed it, you can get caught up via the link below. Igniting the Fire - Episode OneWhile Episode One focused on getting to know new head coach Mike Vrabel, Episode Two shifted the focus to the passing attack. You can watch it below.Igniting the Fire - Episode TwoThey spent the first half focused on Matt LaFleur and Pat O’Hara’s work with the quarterbacks. They talked about getting back to fundamentals and some of the specific things that each quarterback was working on in OTAs — Marcus Mariota was focused on widening his base, Blaine Gabbert was asked to tweak his front foot when throwing, and Luke Falk was working on the placement of his non-throwing hand. LaFleur also talked about timing being a focus — which makes perfect sense for a Shanahan style West Coast Offense — and mentioned that players were graded on timing every rep. After a quick introduction to the Titans equipment manager, they turned the focus to the wide receivers and their coach, Rob Moore. Corey Davis was the focus of the majority of this segment as they talked a little bit about the importance of the time that he missed during OTAs and training camp last year. The coaches praised his attitude and work ethic and there were a couple good clips of him working with Rob Moore on technique. They also showed several clips from practice of Davis and he looked very healthy. While I would’ve loved to see them get more in to some X’s and O’s talk, I can understand why they wouldn’t want to do that. Overall I think the first two episodes have been great content and I’m looking forward to next week’s episode which focuses on the running backs. What do you think so far?
