seadog Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 How long before Ed Wang comes back or is he just being inactivated? Would like to get him playing time at RT, as Green is 34 and has looked less than stellar. This is a throw away year might as well see what we got on the roster.
Punch Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 He's back from injury but has been inactive for all 3 games. I think he's not quite 100%, but there was speculation from some of the Bills' offensive coaches early in training camp that he could be the starter at LT at some point this season.
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Get Wang in there. TWSS When I saw the title, that's exactly what I thought. He's back from injury but has been inactive for all 3 games. I think he's not quite 100%, but there was speculation from some of the Bills' offensive coaches early in training camp that he could be the starter at LT at some point this season. I wouldn't be surprised if he rises to the challenge.
BillsFan74 Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 last week Chris Brown reported that he is still not ready to play. Hopefully when he gets healthy he can take over the RT position and make an impact.
MattyT Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/09/25/ed-wang-update/ “I think we’re a few weeks away from that,” said Gailey. ”He’s going to have to keep that protective cast on a little bit longer. It’s not the big club that he had. “He does have use of his fingertips, but he still can’t do things like punching with that cast on it that he normally could. It’ll be a little while before he gets back 100 percent, but right now we’re sitting at 80 (percent) and that’s better than 60 (percent) and that’s where he was.”
DCBongo Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 In reading the pre-season stuff, many thought Wang was not quite ready for Sunday player. Did I read the wrong articles?
Punch Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 In reading the pre-season stuff, many thought Wang was not quite ready for Sunday player. Did I read the wrong articles? Not at all, but just as Nix implied following the Miami game that Urbik was in the mix at RT there were some amongst the coaching staff that believed he would get a shot... especially if he could increase his strength and catch up mentally. Open auditions in a rebuilding year, and all.
DDD Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Wang? Another classic example of assuming a player drafted in the mid rounds can actually play in the NFL when in reality he can't. The guy will be out of the league in 1-3 years. See James Hardy who went in the 2nd.
/dev/null Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 If Wang gets in there and doesn't perform right away, they run the risk of prematurely pulling Wang
Sisyphean Bills Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Easy on the Wang there. Just trying to plug some holes.

Jim in Anchorage Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 If Wang gets in there and doesn't perform right away, they run the risk of prematurely pulling Wang Or worse they may need to wack their Wang.

Buckeye Eric Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Wang? Another classic example of assuming a player drafted in the mid rounds can actually play in the NFL when in reality he can't. The guy will be out of the league in 1-3 years. See James Hardy who went in the 2nd. It's amazing the talented scouts we have on this board. Can't believe some you aren't actually employed by the NFL with your ability to judge talent in absence of even one regular season start. Simply amazing.
Dr. Trooth Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Wang won't be playing before week 9, if then. He still needs to get full strength back in his surgical repaired hand/wrist.
dib Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 When I saw the title, that's exactly what I thought. I wouldn't be surprised if he rises to the challenge. If he doesnt rise he'll never get in.
Haven Moses Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Chris Brown leaked that Wang was still down.
Mark Long Beach Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 (edited) Wang? Another classic example of assuming a player drafted in the mid rounds can actually play in the NFL when in reality he can't. The guy will be out of the league in 1-3 years. See James Hardy who went in the 2nd. Blah blah blah. Hardy wasn't a mid round pick, he was a 2nd round bust. Nothing to do with the success of a late round pick. But fyi, our last 5th round OL was Butler who was a good one and has hurt our line significantly with his sudden retirement. I hope Wang is as good or better than Butler.
