Braylon Edwards wants New York to be his redemption, and with the postseason just one win away, he’s trying to do everything he can to make it a reality, even predicting it to the press. Rich Cimini writes a great article today on Edwards and his desire to go to the playoffs for the first time in his career.

The article has a number of good quotes, and here’s a smattering of them.

“We won’t lose this game,” Edwards said. “We won’t lose this game. We want it too bad. Just talk to the guys and you get a feel. You can hear Rex’s conviction when he talks to us. Guys are serious about winning this game … [g]uys aren’t talking about New Year’s Eve. Guys aren’t talking about family. All guys are talking about is the playoffs. All guys are talking about is beating Cincinnati. I’m convinced this team is 100% in. I don’t think we can lose this game, just from the mind-set we have, from the attitude we have. I just don’t see it.”

…

“They could play their starters, they could bring back their Hall of Famers, we have to win this game,” he said. “It’s a must-win for us. It doesn’t matter what they do. We’re going to play our hardest and we’re going to beat them, and get into the playoffs and play them again … [t]his is my opportunity. I’m going to do everything I have to do to ensure that, if we don’t go, it won’t be my fault.”

I like his confidence, I like that he’s willing to give everything he can to this team and this team’s chance at the playoffs. This is a great shot at redemption for Edwards, and I hope he finds it in New York. I like Edwards a lot, and there’s not been such a talented receiver on this team in a long while, but with that in mind, I’m still cynical about just how far Edwards will go to make this team win. He’s not exactly the type of receiver who digs out short passes, like Coles or Cotchery would. Maybe it’s his body type … I don’t know … what I will say is that once the ball is in his hands, he’s a force to be reckoned with, I know that much.
