Romadon Adams Romadon Adams 5'11" | 180 lbs | RB Eastside | 2024 NJ makes big plays. Gone in a jiffy, some might call him a Ghost. However, he does not do any of this without the help of his selfless o-linemen. In particular, one 5’8″ o-lineman on Paterson Eastside seems willing to do all the gritty, dirty work necessary for Adams to succeed. Playing center for the Paterson Eastside Ghosts is Jared Edwards Jared Edwards 5'8" | OL Paterson Eastside | 2024 NJ .
Edwards has a great sense for the game. We see this manifest in the quick screen game, where Edwards will automatically turn his assignment into a run block. This gives the LBs a false read and makes them a step slower to the play. When his adjacent guard pulls, Edwards protects the vacated hole well and plays with correct leverage, attacking the down-lineman’s inside shoulder. Double teams are another strength of Edwards’ game, as he and his corresponding guards drive opponents hip-to-hip. His grittiness is shown in he always seems to play to the whistle. When Edwards is in pass protection, he does a nice job helping with his body and peeling off for any blitzing LBs. Getting some more bend and flexibility will pay dividends for Edwards. It will help him stay lower and help him keep a consistent base so drive blocking will become easier.
The Eastside Ghosts have had a great run in recent seasons. Might it be attributed to a certain attitude and style of play? If it is, Edwards embodies it.
