He not only is playing well, but is a team leader. On X I remember people saying after the first few games that he has slowed down because of his age. I'm not sure they say that now. When you judge a player in a short window, you can't properly measure a players worth. Look at the RB position tons of people on X, (we need another RB). That narrative changes now. We have to let this season play out and see the results. If we finish 5-6 we still end up with a winning record. I would say 11 wins are our ceiling. Can we go 7-4 the rest of the year? We will find out Sunday.

There was a video you shared a few days ago that highlighted the defensive production to this point.  What impressed me were the repeated shots of the 'old timers' Edmunds and especially Byard and how well the both of them are doing.  Byard came on strong late last year so he's been consistent not just in this season's window.  He's deserving of the accolades he's been getting for sure.
