5 Bills the Denver Broncos need to worry about on Saturday
By Noah Smith
4. Tremaine Edmunds
Tremaine Edmunds is a monster of a linebacker for the Bills and could pose a huge problem to the Broncos. Edmunds has proved his worth as a first-round pick and been the player the Bills thought they were getting.
With the Broncos’ secondary in shambles, establishing the run should be a huge point of emphasis for the offense. However, Edmunds is an excellent run defender, with 97 tackles and 5 tackles for loss on the season, per ESPN.
Edmunds uses his elite athleticism to shoot the gaps and close on running backs before getting to the second level, and will absolutely impact the Broncos’ ability to run the ball. Neutralizing Edmunds will undoubtedly be a point of emphasis for the Broncos’ offense.
Edmunds can also affect the passing game as well. While we likely won’t see a one-on-one matchup of Noah Fant and Tremaine Edmunds, we will certainly see Fant cross the middle of the field where Edmunds patrols.
Overall, Tremaine Edmunds is an excellent player for the Bills and has the ability to impact the Denver Broncos’ offense in a multitude of ways. If the Broncos can limit Edmunds’ impact, the offense will have a chance to successfully move the ball.
