sdrawkcab321 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 It’s bugged me for years. It’s not an abbreviation, it’s not an acronym. So why is EDGE capitalized? This is the kind of hard hitting questions we need to ask around here. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Erm.. The only D position with 1 syllable.... One of only three positions with one word, but at least with safety you can break it down into free and strong, and with guards they usually stick to left and right, but no such thing with EDGE... E doesn't seem right and/or could be confused with End ? Edited April 12, 2020 by Hunter2_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexGreen#20 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 It's an abbreviation and we capitalize all the other positional abbreviations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetsujin Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Because all the other positions are in ALL CAPS, and it's just being consistent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoboRocket Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I propose that we reclassify the position. How about changing the official name to "Edge Defender?" ED for short. Example: the 49ers sure had lots of ED last year. @N4L @Forge 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB is the reason they can't generate pressure. ED isn't even a factor (unless we're talking about BOB's). Jimmy G, on the other hand... It's possible that the extreme levels of ED on the team masked his lack of a fire hose and general inaccuracy beyond very short distances. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
