CHARGERS DONNIE EDWARDS VOIDS


Pragmatic Bus

Recommended Posts

yes donnie edward voids his contract. that means even if we do trade vilma we can still sign edwards who is a great MLB. and if we dont trade vilma. donnie and vilma will make the best LB duo in the country

Vilma will never be a great 3-4 ILB. Never. Even Vilma knows this.

Clearly SD believes that they can fill his spot with someone else, given the rest of the talent at DL and LB.

Truth is, while he had a lot of tackles, Edwards was hardly stuffing people at the line every week. Even with their other (considerable) talent, SD was ranked 20th in the league in rush defense in terms of ypc. If the offense wasn't so potent & LT didn't keep the defense off the field, this would have been more obvious.

AJ Smith wants someone bigger & younger.

If we're going to go with a 227-lb ILB, I'd keep Vilma over the 34-next-month Edwards.

sperm, you are an idiot, a lb in the 3-4 is only as good as his d line, what do you want him to do when he is being blocked by a guard every play because drob and von old hoffen cant take on a double team, if you give him a good d line he will be good (see ray lewis winning the mvp as a lb in the 3-4). I hate all the people who say you must be big in the 3-4 b/c that isnt true stop talking trash about vilma b/c he is an excellent ball player who is basically standing is a landfill of talent around him. he will be good if we can get a solid d line and then he will quiet all the haters. ps- hes not on the block!!! portis for vilma will NEVER happen.

Bro make your points without name calling. If you are interested in name calling we can refer you to plenty of other sites.

if anybody thinks donnie edward and vilma wont make a good tandem there crazy. you have 2 solid tacklers who are never out of position and never miss a tackle. the only thing is that we need big bodies upfront who can attract double teams. even bruschi took a year to get comfortable into the 3-4 and he is much bigger than vilma.

According to NFL.com Bruschi is 17 pounds heavier than Vilma. But I would guess that Bruschi was Vilma's weight in his 3rd year in the NFL.

If the Jets get rid of Vilma (which I doubt) it will go down as one of the dumbest moves in the NFL.

Some of you guys are unreal.

I actually looked this up a while back.....Very few linebackers remain in the NFL after the age of 33....That seems to be the "magic number" for the better linebackers and Donnie will be older than that by the season.

He may string together another few seasons, but the Chargers are wise to move forward. At this point, he's just hanging in there, at best.

vilma is a mangini player. the only way he will be traded if somebody offers a really high top 10 kinda pick. donnie edwards might not be in his prime but he plays consistantly on a high level and has a good head on his shoulder. until we can draft a good young ILB and develope him. he can serve as a temporary relief. and he might be cheaper than guys like london fletcher or other high priced LBs

I would agree with that. Vilma is a great young talent plain and simple. I don't see how the Jets could get rid of that, especially as we are already lacking playmakers on defense. To get rid of him after 1 average year wouldn't make much sense unless you are sure you're getting something amazing for it. If somebody can show me a way to lose Vilma and get another LB who is just or good or better I'd think about it, but I doubt that will happen. Just get a real DT who takes up 2 blockers and gets penetration up the middle. If that happens, complaining about Vilma will stop in a second.

Yep. In the 3-4 the 3 D-lineman are the most important. D-Rob is inconsistent and Kimo blows.

Until the Jets upgrade their D-Line Vilma will continue to get his ass kicked.

I think D-Rob is fine he just doesn't have the size to be a true NT in the 3-4. And obviously Kimo is terrible and they need to find someone with actual talent to play DE besides Shaun Ellis. Right now the Jets LB corps is in pretty great shape if we can get a true NT our defense will be a hell of a lot better. Unfortunately I don't think there's too many of those in FA market so we'll have to draft a couple.

Very true (apart from the D-Rob comment!). The Jets LB core is solid. Hopefully you guys will draft a D-Lineman who can get the job done.

Keep in mind that Richard Seymour, Ty Warren, Jarvis Green & Vince Wilfork were all drafted by the Pats.

jets LB core is not solid yet we need 1 more ILB and 1 OLB then we also need DE and true NT to really sure up that front 7.

I think Vilma, Barton, Hobson, and B.Thomas easily qualifies as solid. Which one of those needs to be replaced? Getting Adalius Thomas would have been nice but we're hardly up sh!t creek without him. We just need DL help the LB'ers aren't anything we need to worry about too much.
