I've never put much weight on Joyner's stats. They're interesting, but I don't really see how they tell anything about who is a better player. Somebody has better numbers in some oddball statistic so he's a better player. I'm not even sure how he arrives at some of the numbers. "Yards given up per tackle" seems like a good example. How do you calculate that? What if a guy chases a play down on the other side of the field on a play that was run away from him? Can you really say he "gave up" those yards?
Anyway, I'm kind of in the middle on Edwards. I think he's a very good player, much better than Beisel, and he makes lots of tackles, but I'm not convinced he's one of the top LB's in the league.
