Thirdly, at VaTech, I heard that he was recruited as an ILB, but switched to SS (as in: he might be a better ILB/SS).
That said, I have seen improvement. As steelreserve stated, Edmunds is no longer compensating for the shitshow at CB. And, his coach at VaTech said Edmunds was his “best player” (and, that was on a team with his younger brother: Tremaine).
I understand the idea of moving Sean Davis to SS. I do. But, that is actually where he started his NFL career, and he wasn’t very good in that role; switching to FS actually improved his play.
Davis would be an outstanding backup... if he were to take a smaller contract. He can/has played every position in the secondary; so, the Steelers would be able to carry one less DB on game day (and keep an extra player at another “needed” position).
SUMMATION:
Hope that Davis signs a team-friendly contract.
