[Hog's Gone Fishin]

WHY ?

[keg in kc]

Breaking news.

[jspchief]

Because our current DTs consist of Sims, Dalton, Siavii, and Browning?

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

This does not answer my question. Is he supposed to be the leader of a suckass front line?

[Pitt Gorilla]

The Billsification of the Chiefs.That's awesome.

[jspchief]

This does not answer my question. Is he supposed to be the leader of a suckass front line?Leader? I doubt it.

Better than Siavii and Browning? Highly likely.

Do expect every free agent aquisition to be the saviour of the team?

[Red Dawg]

6 foot 3 and 320! Hell ya! We need a big wide ass on the line.

He weighs 5 pounds more than Sims and Dalton, and 15 pounds less than Siavii...

[Archie Bunker]

From what I have read on Bills boards and FA rankings Edwards is probably the best DT on the team.

Plus it never hurts to have a 6-3 320 pound DT whose strength is rushing the passer.

Also Krumrie and Blackmon coached him in Buffalo.

Thats why.

[keg in kc]

He weighs 5 pounds more than Sims and Dalton, and 15 pounds less than Siavii...And he's a pass-rusher, not a run-stuffer.

[Clint in Wichita]

Can he cover receivers?

7 sacks in 5 years. If thats his strength then his weaknesses must be atrocious.

[Clint in Wichita]

7 sacks in 5 years. If thats his strength then his weaknesses must be atrocious.

As far as career stats, I only trail him by 7 sacks.

[jspchief]

7 sacks in 5 years. If thats his strength then his weaknesses must be atrocious.Have you seen the sack totals for our current DTs?

Sims: 5 sacks in 4 years
Browning: 27.5 sacks in 10 years (But didn't he play DE for quite a while?)
Siavii: 1 sack in 2 years
Dalton: 8 sacks in 8 years
Wilkerson: .5 sacks in 3 years

Edwards is averaging over a sack per year. Not many of our DTs can say that.

[RealSNR]

nepotismIs that anything like the NEPAtism of Chiefsplanet as observed by several noobs lately?

[PastorMikH]

And he's a pass-rusher, not a run-stuffer.


UGH! I was hoping when I saw he had 7 sacks in 5 years that he would specialize in stopping the run.

I guess his 1.4 sacks per year average will come in handy at least once this year.


Oh well, at least we are finally signing people. PLEASE tell me he was cheap.

[keg in kc]

Pocket collapsing DTs don't always get sacks themselves. It's not like edge-rushers who're working one-on-one in space, and have a shot at blind-siding. The kind of numbers Sapp put up in Tampa are a rarity.

That said, I don't expect anything but depth out of him.

Oh well, at least we are finally signing people. PLEASE tell me he was cheap.Well, in his defense, 3 of those years he only played a combined 11 games.

So it's not so much that he doesn't get sacks as it is that he can't stay healthy.

Hope that helps.

That's the old "McGlockton Excuse".

It holds about as much water as the "Chewbacca Defense".

[Mecca]

You guys need to look at the amount of games he's played in, not just "this many sacks in this many seasons". He's had some injuries that caused him to miss significant time.

He's a good rotational tackle that plays in certain situations. He likely shouldn't be a starter though. Edwards and Dalton make nice 3 and 4 rotational depth tackles, to bad we don't have a 1-2.

So, what are the odds that he and Sims will be unable to play due to injuries at DIFFERENT times though the season?

[Archie Bunker]

7 sacks in 5 years. If thats his strength then his weaknesses must be atrocious.

The problem Edwards has is he cant stay healthy. He has played in 48 games over 5 years which equals 3 years of actual gameplay. So basically he has 7 sacks over 3 years. Not great but for a DT that has been a backup most of his career that is not terrible production.

[KCChiefsMan]

This does not answer my question. Is he supposed to be the leader of a suckass front line?


why don't you go ask Mr Peterson if you're looking for the exact reason

[keg in kc]

That's the old "McGlockton Excuse".

It holds about as much water as the "Chewbacca Defense".Yeah, cause you see tons of defensive tackles posting double-digit sack totals every year.

McGlockton was a fat, lazy f*ck, however.

[HemiEd]

He was the frosting in the Oreo, between Downing and Snoop. :D

[philfree]

I wonder how many tackles we will keep on the roster? To me he's a rotation guy who might be taking the place of Siavii if he doesn't get his act together. If commands a double team at an economical price then I'm all for it.


PhilFree:arrow:

[ChiefsCountry]

According to the Buffalo fans, he has the potential to be a really good player just was hurt alot. If we keep him healthy we might have a steal. I actually like the signing, its not a big move but a good solid one that could turn out good.

IMO Browning will be on the short end of the stick. I really like this signing I think Edwards could be a steal.

I thought the 'McGlockton Excuse' was 'addition by subtraction' when he was cut.

No matter what you say about McGlockton's play...the DL is has been demonstrably worse since he was cut.

[Bowser]

Eric Hicks agrees 100%.

So have the LBs and the secondary...and the coaching, for that matter.

I don't think McGlockton being cut is the cause of the defensive collapse over the last few years.

[keg in kc]

No matter what you say about McGlockton's play...the DL is has been demonstrably worse since he was cut.Oh my god, you've figured it out. The downfall of the Vermeil regime was cutting Chester McWilliams.

[KCTitus]

I don't think McGlockton being cut is the cause of the defensive collapse over the last few years.

I didnt say 'defense', I said DL. DL has been the weakest link in the defense as evidenced by the number of draft picks used for DT's.

[KCTitus]

Oh my god, you've figured it out. The downfall of the Vermeil regime was cutting Chester McWilliams.

LOL...let the hyperbole fly!!!

Again, for those reading deficient, I said DL. I realize that the mere mention that the DL might have gotten worse after he got cut causes all kinds of spastic reactions, but cmon. We can all agree that DL has been horrid and Sims has done nothing to improve it.

I hate it when people use stats to determine whether a player is good or not. It's a little bit gay.

[RedThat]

My friend, sometimes these type of signings can be the best signings. I still view Edwards as a project though. I mean he has had his share of difficulties staying healthy. In Buffalo, he was more of a rotational type of guy, never really had the chance to shine playing under Williams, and Adams. With this being said, he is still a work in progress. Coaches have something in their hands to work with and the guy is young. A signing like this one, makes coach Krumrie really excited.

I like this signing for various reasons. First off, this is a cheap signing. If worst comes to worst, and say the guy doesn't pan out, he can be cut, and we lose nothing. best case scenario, he creates competition in camp, bringing the best out of our other guys. Best thing that could happen, he can develop under Krumrie, shine into a solid DT and what did we spend to get him? Peanuts. Either way, it's a win-win situation for the Chiefs.

*I recall a while back, the Patriots signed a guy by the name of Mike Vrabel who was a backup OLB for the Steelers. I also recall a while back, the Steelers signed a guy by the name of Kimo Von Oelhoffen who was a backup DE for the Bengals. Hopefully, Ron Edwards can be the same for the Chiefs.

[Rain Man]

Have you seen the sack totals for our current DTs?

Sims: 5 sacks in 4 years
Browning: 27.5 sacks in 10 years (But didn't he play DE for quite a while?)
Siavii: 1 sack in 2 years
Dalton: 8 sacks in 8 years
Wilkerson: .5 sacks in 3 years

Edwards is averaging over a sack per year. Not many of our DTs can say that.

I wonder if that rafter up there can hold my weight.

I'll bet you initially typed "It's about 40% gay", and then you had to go back and change it.

[milkman]

IMO Browning will be on the short end of the stick. I really like this signing I think Edwards could be a steal.

I think it's more likely that this will enable the Chiefs move of Wilkerson to DE, where he should have been to begin with.

It's rediculous that he had to be used in the DT rotation.

[JakeT]

I'm looking at it this way

Edwards + Simms + health issues = 1 good DT

which is better than we were last year

[bringbackmarty]

isn't ron edwards the guy who can talk to dead people.

[melbar]

How come this guy onlly plays a third of the games every other year? Is he injury prone?

[johnson&green]

the chiefs really needed someone to replace dolton and browning because they are both in their 30s and they SUCK but sims is ok.

For future reference when I am speaking of your moronity, I will refer to it as moronacy.

Some things just seem right, even if they are wrong.

Nice comeback try coming from a guy that gets pissed about Simms.
Too bad it is "moronically"-an adj for moron-according to Funk and Wagnalls Standard dictionary.
