Yeah I will agree that most of the team quit and most of that was the coaches fault collectively but w/o a veteran presence in the locker room its hard to reunite a team with a hanging head.
How great would it be to have a Ray Lewis type presence to bitch slap some of these guys when they act like bitches.
Edwards catches the ball with his body instead of his hands, again that's why he jumps when he doesn't have to. Most receivers who catch the ball with their body drop balls. Coaches worked every day in practice with Edwards to catch balls with his hands and bring them to his body and he does that during practice and in some games when he doesn't have time to think. But, he always reverts back letting the ball get to his body and trying to wrap his arms around it.
He knows how to catch and when he doesn't have to think (some circus catches) he makes catches with his hands. He lacks concentration and confidence. Once he drops a ball, he will try to jump up so the next one hits him in the gut and he can wrap it up.
Sorry, but he will never be a consistent receiver unless someone can get inside his head. So, you take what he gives you which is a combination of 2007 and 2008 and live with it or you move on. Reminds me of someone with ADD, and that isn't said to be funny. He defends himself because he lacks confidence yet he can't seem to maintain a high level of concentration. In one respect, he is somwhat like Dennis Northcutt, but bigger and a better physical specimen. I wonder how this guy did academically at Michigan and how he did on the NFL testing?
Bottom line is you can't blame it all on the QBs. Edwards is his own worst enemy.
