I caught over 100 punts in camp, that's not an excuse anymore

Seems Armanti is manning up and taking responsibility where his fan boys won't.

Now THAT is the right attitude to have AE. Get it fixed and get back out there. You have two more games to prove you can get it right.

Edwards is going to take time, but I firmly believe he will be a very, very good player before his career is over.

I still say they should just let him focus on playing WR and let guys like Munnerlynn and Witherspoon battle it out for punt returns. I just don't see how they can possibly trust AE to return punts in a real game this year.

If they let him focus on receiver he won't see the field for 2 or 3 years. They want him to see the field.

It shouldn't take that long. Besides, he could get on the field right away as a wildcat QB. You know, something he has actually done before.

Either way, I believe they're wasting time trying to make him a punt returner. There is a reason why there are so few good ones around.

      What if BPA is Will Campbell?

      These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl

      Who Has to Be Off the Board to Trade Back?

      If there’s not much difference in moving back a couple spots, finding a good offer might be an issue.

      Im all for defense. I’ll add Will Johnson and remove McMillian. While I’d rather have DL, two strong corners will allow for more safety help in the box, so it’s still a win for the run game.
