Beerball Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Wait a minute, isn't James Andrews the Redskins team physician? So he sent a letter to all 32 teams clearing him to play, then flunked him on their own physical?? He may consult for them, but he isn't the listed "official" orthopod, that would be Commonwealth Orthopaedics.
YoloinOhio Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) You couldn't tell that when he hugged Goodell? I missed the pick on TV! Edited May 10, 2014 by YoloinOhio
vincec Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Way does a OT need to run a quick 40? Probably the most useless metric in football. Tackle eligible plays?
Kellyto83TD Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I love the pick! My #1 RT And the one guy I hoped would be there when we picked. Love it!
Punch Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) ESPN's Injury Specialist Stephania Bell says Kouandijo is worth the risk and added on twitter that this type of wear would be "common" amongst NFL linemen. http://espn.go.com/v...=espnapi_public Stephania Bell @Stephania_ESPN 14h OT Cyrus Kouandjio may have been the most discussed player with regards to injury concern pre-draft. Some wear in outer aspect left knee. He did not miss game or practice since surgery (so last two years); no pain/swelling; some concern over long-term knee health. His situation serves as a reminder that selections are all about perceived value by team: Does talent outweigh medical risk? Yes, if you sampled NFL linemen would be common “@DrRaySolano: @Stephania_ESPN Is it true that kind of wear is common given the position?” Edited May 10, 2014 by Punch

KOKBILLS Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I agree with you a lot...and that concerns ME! (j/k)
Johnny Hammersticks Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Wow. This dude is large. I remember some analyst saying that he has only 16% body fat. Gosh, that's really impressive for a human his size.
Rockinon Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 lol, NFLN still sour about Glenn pick... I know. They said he is not ideal. What has he done? Only given up like 1 sack in 2 years, but he isn't ideal.
machine gun kelly Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 This guy is going to be a stud. We have our bookends for years as long as we pay Cordy in two years. I know today they are just doing the BPA, but would have like a TE. I trust Whaley though.

I know today they are just doing the BPA, but would have like a TE. I trust Whaley though. They could split Spiller out or play Spiller/WR in that spot. TEs aren't what they used to be. They are trending towards better receivers than being a hybrid catcher/blocker. The NFL has trended towards have a 'fullback' or 'blocking' TE that they bring in for specific situations. I think that is what they will do. Have spiller in the backfield and chipping then going out for a route. Getting this guy, will hopefully let them not have to have TE help as much.

Buffaloed in Pa Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 @buffalobills Marrone on Cyrus Kouandjio: "first round talent" Love the pick. Love every OL pick. Where`s the Beef ? Buffalo.
BillsFan17 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 This might end up being a bigger steal than the Glenn pick. Honestly, if teams were scared off every time a player had an injury in their draft year the draft would be pretty dull and boring. Honestly, a lot of players have had injuries that never effected their pro career or at the very least didn't cause them to miss significant time. The game is not for everyone and injuries are part of the nature of the beast.

I don't know, we'll see, but weak slow and injured is a bad hat trick
thebandit27 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I don't know, we'll see, but weak slow and injured is a bad hat trick I can't agree that he's weak...his arms are so stinkin' long that he's bound to have lower reps in the bench. I mean, I'm 160 lbs and have very short arms, so I can bench more than some of the 220 LB guys that train with me...those guys could also block me across the county...poor comparison, but I'm sure you know what I mean. The footspeed and injuries are worth noting; very true.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 @ChrisTrapasso Cyrus Kouandjio's film certainly shows some off-balance whiffs, but #Bills fans will like this play ---> https://vine.co/v/MgwXnreudaD
Kelly the Dog Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Another extremely important and oft overlooked element of the Kujo and Richardson picks are that the Bills play a specific kind of offense, a power running offense, that is not similar to a lot of other teams. So the guys we drafted, who are huge maulers and not exactly fast or nimble on their feet, would not fit other offenses as well as they do ours. In turn, draft guru types will only look at what the profiles of these guys are and say that he has trouble with speed rushers or doesnt have great feet or whatever, but they are just ignoring what we, the Bills, want these guys to do best and first.

Everyone is so focused on the passing game these days, the Bills just might be the team that sets the tone with the run. Can't wait to see short yardage situations. The guys Buffalo picked up for the OL are huge, powerful men. The pass will benefit, but the run is so overlooked. We have a whole herd of humungous linemen.
John from Riverside Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Didnt this guy play left tackle in college? Right Tackle should be no problem as far as footspeed
