1997WS6 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I went to training camp on Wednesday and Justin Zimmer was right in front of me. He didn’t talk to fans, and he didn’t talk to other players either. He just practiced what I would call burst off the line and hand fighting. his work ethic seems impressive to me! Anyone else see that or know anything else about him? 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills808 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Apparently he scored off the charts in his RAS, and from what little I've seen of him he's definitely a hard worker at the 3tech 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely, there seems to be an article about this: https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/justin-zimmer-hopes-to-have-finally-found-a-permanent-nfl-home-in-buffalo/article_8cf95af6-f96e-11eb-be02-dfd4eb52ffcd.html Talk about a methodical approach to improvement: Quote “I sat down and got a spreadsheet. I went through all my plays, got what position I was playing, what our call was, what pass rush move, what run stunt,” he said. “I kind of graded it out, saw what I did well, saw what I didn't do well. And then kind of put that as my areas of focus for the offseason.” Zimmer’s biggest takeaway from that film study was a need to improve his performance immediately after the ball was snapped. “When I was getting off the ball well, I was making plays, playing better,” he said. “And when my get off was inconsistent, I played inconsistent, and that was the biggest thing. 3 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 https://www.wivb.com/sports/nfl-journeyman-justin-zimmer-finally-gets-his-shot/ Quote “I just try to go out and have as much of a well rounded game as possible. I work on run defense every day, I work on pass defense, whatever I see in the game that I didn’t do well, I’m going to go before practice every day and work on that,” Zimmer said. “Then whatever they put me in, whether it’s first down run stopper or it’s third and ten and they want me to rush the passer, I want to be able to do as many things as I can to help me get on the field.” 1 minute ago, Buffalo716 said: Well they do call him the quiet assassin I think because he's been the underdog and his roster spot has never been secure, he feels an extra need to keep grinding 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 For those who do not know (I didn't) RAS is Relative Athletic Scores. I read on another forum that he worked with Beebe's House of Speed in offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Duffy Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I know some are just joking around and whatnot, but I like him and it's clear he gives everything he's got on the field. Good hard worker that can make some plays here and there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Cue the overused terms to describe every white lineman in the NFL: He's a blue collar player He brings his lunch pail to work. He's "high motor" He's a grinder. He's "sneaky athletic" After he gets out of practice he hauls bales of hay around for fun 😂 Edited September 2, 2021 by Allen2Diggs 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this was his first residence and maybe where he winds up long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
