    He only needs 12 combined tackles to make the Bears top 10 list for tackles in a single season (tracked since 1994.) He is chasing Brian Urlacher’s 123 from 2007. He is on pace to shatter the team record (currently 163 by Roquan Smith in 2021.)

    He gets a lot of tackles but sucks in the pass game. Still a good WILL if edmunds wasn’t a disappointment.

    Edwards has been good all year. Unfortunately he seems to just get lumped in with Edmunds because of similar name, position, signing day

    This is a function of having a bad offense that puts our defense on the field more?

    Not that he isn’t a good LB. Just can explain why he’s 3rd

    Roquan is in a scheme better suited to him. Edwards has been great and a tremendous value. Edmunds has been disappointing so far and has not played like a $20M player, which is the real issue.

    I’ll welcome the downvoted but i know i’m right. We’d be a lot better with roquan than edmunds, dexter, and that extra 2 million. Like a LOT better

    Again, total tackles is not an accurate measure of how good a LB is.

    See: Blake Martinez

    Edwards is a good player, but it doesn’t change the fact tackles aren’t the best stat.

    Crying Roquan fans incoming. Almost like they both can be good and one doesn’t take away from the other.

    Imagine a world where Roquan stayed AND we signed Edwards. I’m still hopeful that Edmonds can be elite when fully healthy and with a better pass rush, but so far he’s been pretty underwhelming for us
