falconsfaninfresno Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Glad to see TD addressed the DE position but I have to be honest I know nothing about Ray Edwards other than the media hype over the last couple days. His stat's were not all that impressive and funny enough I went to the Vikings message board and not one single post about him leaving. Anybody got video, NFL insider...something??I did find out that he is a boxer which means he has fast hands (really important for a DE)I'm excited since everyone else is though.

Peyton Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 You say his numbers aren't that good, and I guess you are entitled to feel that way. Keep this in mind though.Ray Edwards is one year older than Lawrence Sidbury, and he was born the same year as Kroy Biermann.He's accomplished far more than those two guys have combined, and those are the guys that would be getting the reps had they not signed Edwards.

falconsfaninfresno Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm not knocking him I just haven't heard of him. If he can come in and get 6 sacks a year great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Bruce smith he's not. But solid he is. Went all yoda there....80) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconinPA Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) He is a good solid DE. I think he was overshadowed by Jared Allen and that monstrous defensive line in Minnesota. But he is far better than anu DE that we have not named Abe. Although is is younger than abe and might be his eventual replacement.

I heard this cat on Jim Rome earlier this year. Was really impressed by his true desire to box. He is one tough, competitive dude. We got a good one here!!WOOT WOOT!!Freakin's A, now that I remember that Jim Rome interview I'm even more excited about this guy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purposely watch college football to get a handle on all the guys that will be moving on to the NFL. When it comes to the NFL, I only follow the Falcons. I never really watch an entire game when the Falcons are not involved accept for early in the pre-season when I need a football fix and the playoffs/super bowl.Edwards has proven to be a good player at LDE. Could he end up being a bust, yes, anybody could. He was not tops on the list of DE's for no reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mescalito Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I can't really find any good video clips of him.I did find this. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaGz Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Put it like this JA98 got cut today and replaced with a much better DE for not much more money. So anyone doubting the Edwards get think about it that way. Who u want more Anderson or Edwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD dirtybird21 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I just hope Edwards is really as good as people think he is. I mean, during his career, he has played with a GREAT defensive line. One of the best defensive ends in the league and the williams brothers. Seems like he'd be more successful when the line has to focus on those other guys.

RazorTalon Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 He can produce a 8-9 sack season and on occasion be double teamed for a nice push down the middle with Peria Jerry and company. SOLID SIGNING.....Takes pressure off of Abe, plus Kroy is much better as a rotational player so he can stay fresh...LOVE IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casabao Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 He's young at 26, he's a physical beast with quick hands as a boxer....which is a plus for any defensive lineman, and he has gotten better every year unlike the guy he replaces in JA98....oh and he is explosive!!! I'll take Ray Edwards for the win!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pina Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Since Edwards is now on the Left, will Kroy be used more to rotate on the Right end position which is where he will be in the future to me since I am hoping he can be Abrahams replacement?

didz Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 He is an explosive big man, that has grown into a great defensive end. We are lucky to have him. I am willing to say that he gets better numbers than Charles Johnson this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aPureTerror Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hopefully you're not Coach Smith or Thomas.D, if you are then I'm going to be really really worried that we signed him and you've never heard of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayorWest13 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 just loved that clip he should be pretty solid and if he isnt still better depth then before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
