Knowing what to expect in a Roman offense from a scheme and mentality perspective after their time together in Baltimore makes the transition that much easier.
Although there are some small differences the basics are similar, and Edwards said he’s been able to pick everything up from the jump.
“It makes it a lot easier to adjust because you kind of know what to expect, especially with the terminology — it makes it kind of easier for you to memorize and everything,” Edwards said. “It helps my transition to be more smooth.”
Edwards later added: “I love this scheme, the way that he schemes everything up, and just the whole mindset — the physicality — I really like.”
The veteran running back said he was ready to bring the downhill, physical style of play in the run game that Harbaugh and General Manager Joe Hortiz have referenced during the offseason to the Chargers.
It’s something he knows how to do well and not too different from what he did in time in Baltimore playing with Harbaugh’s older brother, John.
Edwards spoke glowingly about the early interactions with his new head coach, as he sees a lot of things in common with his older brother in how they want to play and how they lead.
“I see a lot of similarities with his brother. I don’t know if he’s a big fan of me saying that, but I see a lot of similarities,” Edwards said with a laugh. “He’s kind of like a player-coach. You’re real comfortable around him.”
“I know his mentality. He wants to win,” Edwards later added. “He’s been very into everything. He’s been in the meeting rooms with us. He hasn’t been staying away from the team. He’s in the weight room with us. It’s been great to just see his face around.”
