3 over or unders for Mario Edwards with Chicago Bears
1. Over or Under 25 tackles
This will be a tougher one to go over than the first two. He has only gone over 25 tackles twice and has not done it since 2017. In that season he had a career-high in snaps and only recorded 27 tackles.
He hit 42 tackles in his rookie season but has not been used in that manner since. In the past four years, he has 14, 7, 8, and 17 tackles, so he has not even hit 20. This would be his biggest increase from any year.
He is going to play more, and if he gets near his 2017 snap count he could end up with around 26 or 27 tackles as he did in 2017.
However, as we noted, the role that Edwards has will be more of a pass-rushing role. Blackson and Jones may rack up tackles, but Edwards will be selling out on pressures.

He has never been a player to rack up tackles, mainly because his role is to shift inside and rush the passer. That is not going to change, and may only increase, which could lead us to a season with four sacks, and under 25 tackles.
