justnzane Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 you know what they say when its cold out... ok lets not make this another dick joke thread... how did he do, guys? i sure didnt notice him He really didn't stick out much. Wood did a hard day's work and Wrotto and Howard followed Wood's lead. Jesus, even when I don't try to make a dick joke, I make a dick joke.

ieatcrayonz Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I am no expert but wang got respect during the game. People were paying atention to Wang. There is another thread about it, but it pertains here too. Wang at last week's game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 It would not shock me at all to see Wang get cut in the offseason......I have been told I am reading way to much into it but it just strikes me as odd that we have to bring in players to man that guard and RT position when we drafted Wang and we wont play him His learning curve must be big time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta break Wang in a little more. You just can't yank him if he isn't finishing plays. I would like to apologize for this reply.

No way! But seriously, he'll be given several years to develop. The marketing potential is China alone makes it worth it. As for Wang's potential, recall the last OT the Bills drafted in the 5th round from a college in the state of Virginia, who also missed most of his rookie year. He did alright (until he retired early after suffering a knee injury...okay it's no longer a mystery, it was Brad Butler!). Give him at least another year.

Albany,n.y. Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I didn't notice Wang last week. The Bills were rotating Howard & Rinehart at RG, Wang wasn't in the rotation. Since Bell, Levitre, Wood & Wrotto played the whole game I doubt Wang got in for many, if any, offensive plays. There was an article I read this week where the writer attributed Rinehart's playing time to Wang, but the writer was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Bell was inactive his entire rookie season, and Peters mostly only saw work on special teams - he blocked a punt as a rookie. Wang's developing behind journeymen veterans. Give him a full healthy offseason, and we'll see if he can make the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 FWIW, Chad Rinehart was elevated from the practice squad last Tuesday. He's now been installed as our starting right guard, due to injuries to Wood, Hangartner, and Howard. Wood's back of course but at center. Howard has played right tackle and right guard. Here's the thing, though... Last Wednesday, Gailey said that Cordero Howard and Ed Wang would be splitting snaps at right guard. On Saturday, Chris Brown reported that Cordero Howard and Chad Rinehart would be splitting snaps at right guard. So Wang was leapfrogged by a guy who was on the practice squad only a few days earlier and another guy who was a street free agent. Now granted Wang was a 5th rounder so he's not supposed to set the world on fire…but I think you're kidding yourself if you think the Bills aren't a little disappointed in Ed Wang. This could be nothing. Or it could be analogous to when Aaron Maybin was practicing with the 3rd teamers in training camp. We don't know right now.

With Bell both playing well and healthy they have moved wang to see if he could play other positions. In the end he may just be a developmental left tackle. Let see what an offseason of strength and conditioning do for him before we jump to any conclusions Edited December 18, 2010 by bkc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinehart was a 3rd round pick of the Skins in 2008 and started 4 games for them last year, before getting injured. So while he was on the Bills' PS, it's not like he is a rookie. The Bills may be disappointed in Wang, but again, Brad Butler didn't do much his rookie year either, as he was recovering from injury and learning a new position(s).

So, Wang might be the next Brad Butler? Ouch. Butler was injured all the time and retired before his career got off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
