truth on hold Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 I am cool with the idea though, Wang pulls to the inside... Exactly. Zone blocking on a 3-4 defense too. There are plenty of instances an LT finds himself up against an NT.
Buffalonian-at-Heart Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 A Japanese Monster is the perfect nickname for a Chinese dude? That's interesting.  I like the nickname Darth Wang, that was on the back of that one fans helmet.
EastRochBillsfan Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 nice video. what a feel good story. makes me want to "root" (choosing my words carefully) for the guy. It really looks like with some good coaching he could turn into a good find. With the physical tools he posseses, and a great work ethic, I like this kids chances.    Maybe this is somewhat racist, and I sure hope I'm wrong, but I wonder if he will hold up physically against the large African-American guys in the NFL. But one thing he has going for him, is a voice that sounds deep like a stereotypical African-American. Even has some hip-hop intonation. Oops, I did it again, maybe another racist sounding comment.  What, there are no big white men in the nfl, or other races? I mean WHY even put that in there? Couldn't you have said "against the large guys in the nfl"? IMO, just a stupid thing to say that didnt needed to be said. and i'm a white guy just so ya know   I like the nickname Darth Wang, that was on the back of that one fans helmet. yea I noticed that too. I like it. wonder what darthice will think of it?
BuffaloBill Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Don't mind him, he's just having a Wang Fantasy   He has these often
/dev/null Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 yea I noticed that too. I like it. wonder what darthice will think of it? Â Always 2 there are, a Master and an Apprentice
RealityCheck Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 I am cool with the idea though, Wang pulls to the inside... That's how babies get made bro. Maybe that's what Nix had in mind though when he said he was gonna show us the baby.
billsfan89 Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 To Summarize, Wang can pass protect, but not run block effectively: Â If we can get an LT to do 50% of his role, then I think it is a good start. Protecting your QB and keeping him upright is better for now. Â Â He is excellent at pass protecting against the speed rush. The bull rush did give him some issues as far as pass protection went. However the guy has great positioning which means its just a physical issues that he can get stronger as time goes on as he gets exposed to an NFL strength program and he gets older. Â Run blocking in college he was good but not great which means in the NFL were the guys are bigger and stronger he could struggle there in his early years. So yeah there was a reason he was there in the 5th round the guy needs to be stronger in order to be effective in the ground game and to be more complete in the pass protection game. Â Once again this is all according to scouting reports I have read the key issue with the guy seems to be strength. Â The one thing you really like about the guy is that he is a hard worker and so he is going to put in the time necessary to get that added strength he needs to be more effective at the pro-level.
drewfla Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 It will be great if this kid can start one day but day one does not bode well. Peters was on the roster a long time before he ever got over to LT. It would frankly not be shocking to see this guy on the practice squad this year in order to get bigger and more polished. I just think putting any kind of faith in this guy passed over this much for day one is completely misplaced. Now year 2 or probably 3 of the rookie contract could hold some hope.
CarolinaBill Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 why does everybody have to be a top rd pick to play well, I dont get where that comes from, esp with lineman. There's no reason to think this kid won't make it to the roster or even play this year.
Thurman#1 Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010  I hope Wang is our LT for years to come. he has the "feet" as hes a converted tight end, and it was noted he is great against speed rushers. Thats big for LT's, they dont all have that. But can he run block and be nasty? idk, but I sure hope he can develop it.  idk if this link was posted already    Great stuff, man. Thanks.
Thurman#1 Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Not unheard of, unheralded. He's not as raw, but it's close. Hence the late round selection. Â Â Â On the contrary. Peters never played on the line till his second year as a pro. Bell never even played football till college. Â Compared to them, Wang has a more conventional background. Picking guys in the later rounds and training them for a year or two till they're ready to fit in isn't some kind of Bills-only technique. It's a common and often-successful way of developing a line.
Thurman#1 Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Ed Wang's nickname at VaTech was "Godzilla". The perfect nickname! Especially if he can terrorize Gotham. Â Â Â Except that Godzilla is Japanese, not Chinese. Â Ed apparently got a bit of a chuckle out of the fact that his teammates didn't know the difference, but then accepted the nickname and enjoyed it. Gotta like the guy. Hope he works out.
....lybob Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Wang has some nice physical qualities but is not overly powerful for a guy who's been hitting the weights since he was ten.
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Wang has some nice physical qualities but is not overly powerful for a guy who's been hitting the weights since he was ten. That's because he spent 10 years studing for his SATs tjis is mearly my sense of humor guys...
/dev/null Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Except that Godzilla is Japanese, not Chinese.  Yeah but they all look alike  j/k
Booster4324 Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Yeah but they all look alike  j/k  There is more than one Godzilla? We are so !@#$ed.
/dev/null Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 There is more than one Godzilla? We are so !@#$ed. Chinese or Japanese, it doesn't matter. The really scary Godzilla is the Jewish one, Mecha-Streisand
CarolinaBill Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Chinese or Japanese, it doesn't matter. The really scary Godzilla is the Jewish one, Mecha-Streisand affectionately known as the "kyken"
THE GASH STATION Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Maybe the marketing Dept will bring back the whammy weenie Call it the Wang weenie this time.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Hey the last converted TE to play LT for the Bills was a pro bowler. Lets hope he turns out like him minus the hold outs lol
