Quote:I hated those transition days (from Dallas to Jax).

 

Some of the most difficult days of my football fandom.

 

Eric Green was an outstanding red zone target and very big.

 

Edmunds never made sense...to have all of that physical talent and never put it together.  If he could hold onto those passes, he could have been one of the all time greats with Marino throwing him the ball.

 

He's like the offensive version of Alonzo Spellman.  Great physical specimen, but never put it all together.

 

In Spellman's case, IIRC, there were mental health issues with him.

 

I don't know if there are any comparisons to Edmunds or Green in this draft.

 

Those transition days were very trying, but I think I was helped along because I joined the Service in '95 and since I was out of town it was just as easy to follow JAX as it was MIA. Maybe that helped the transition a bit.

 

To related Edmunds to anyone, I would think that it would be Dorial Green-Beckham just swap the emotional, off field issues with those of the inability to hold on to the dang ball. There were so many times that he would just sprint past a LB and Marino would throw the fade to him, and it would just go off his hands. Sad really.
