Augie Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I've heard rumors that Lawson actually slipped on Kevin Kolb who laying on the ground at Bills camp disguised as a mat for some reason Oh, that SUCKS! I bet the Pats* are behind this in some way. Follow the money...... (They always say that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Striker is not a fit for that role. If he ever makes this team or any other team he would most likely be a situational player. He doesn't have the size for the edge, he needs IK's size and then we would be all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Actually......I need to change my stance on this I was always under the impression Striker was of the same size, biuld, weight of Jerry Hughes Jerry Hughes has 30 pounds on him Striker will need to make it as a hybrid safety in order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I just had this injury. If he needs surgery (completely torn pectoral major from humorous bone) then he's out for the season. If not (just bad tear) then he still has about 6 weeks of rehab and a huge loss of strength. Being able to push the lineman is pretty important to a defensive end. Needless to say he won't be playing at 100% this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The CBA needs to allow more team supervised conditioning in the off season to try and prevent accidents like this one and Kiko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) I just had this injury.

Being able to push the lineman is pretty important to a defensive end. Needless to say he won't be playing at 100% this seasonsounds like they think it's the first one based on the MRI and ensuing timeline of being back for the 1st game. I'd expect him to miss all of TC and preseason. The silver lining is that this is one player who does know what he's doing in this defense, and as a veteran may not need camp and preseason games as much as the others. Still sucks but could be worse. Edited July 31, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Not for nothing, burt Eric Striker is one of the best edge-rushers I've EVER SEEN at the collegiate Level... It would be both a shame, and a smudge on Rex's reputation as a "defensive coach" if he couldn't turn that talent into anything. Slight hyperbole here. Striker was a decent edge rusher; a guy that could win with speed and not much else. He doesn't really have a 2nd trick in his repertoire when speed rushing doesn't get it done. I'm not saying that he can't develop into a situational guy as a pass rusher. In fact, I think he can eventually play downs as an EDGE and as a Will; he's a guy that I really liked as a mid-round developmental prospect. I do think, however, that he's got a lot of work to do before he can be a spot-duty player in the NFL. Pure speed rushers tend to get chewed up and spit out by NFL OTs. sounds like they think it's the first one based on the MRI and ensuing timeline of being back for the 1st game.

YoloinOhio Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 @tompelissero Talked to Rex and he was 👍 about injury situation. "If we were playing the Super Bowl tomorrow, they'd probably all be out there." #Bills Slight hyperbole here. Striker was a decent edge rusher; a guy that could win with speed and not much else.

I must've missed the timeline report Yolo...what was it exactly? pec injury while benching 415 lbs, not expected to be long-term, not expected to miss any time in regular season. Per Rex.

K-9 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Striker is not a fit for that role. If he ever makes this team or any other team he would most likely be a situational player. He doesn't have the size for the edge, he needs IK's size and then we would be all set. Yep. Corey Moore without the speed. Kid has all the heart you'd ever want, but the odds are against him. He's gonna get a better opportunity due to some injuries and I hope he takes advantage but when you see him lined up across from a real NFL OT, it's scary. GO BILLS!!!

YoloinOhio Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 @marklud12 Manny Lawson told me he thinks he'll be back by Week 1. Has a partially torn pectoral muscle, not completely torn. Great news for Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 you mean he may not be benching 415 again anytime soon ? I was benching close to that much and I'm 2 months out and the physical therapist has me benching with 5 lb dumbbells and I still don't have normal range of motion. Manny, if he does play week 1, won't be 100%. JPP showed last year that while not impossible it's definitely tough to play the position with 1 arm, especially if you don't have the strength to bull rush a 300 pound lineman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
