DiGiorgio closer to 100 percent

[The Spaz]

Bills linebacker John DiGiorgio went down on a punt return tearing his ACL on a non-contact play in Buffalo’s Week 7 win over San Diego last season. Now six months removed from surgery, DiGiorgio is getting closer and closer to once again being football ready.

“I would say I’m just a little ways off,” DiGiorgio told Buffalobills.com. “Not back to 100 percent quite yet. I’ve been doing some running and doing some cutting and just strengthening everything and regaining flexibility. Everything has been improving over the last couple of months. I’ve noticed significant gains of late and I’m doing real well.”

Despite all that progress however, DiGiorgio is not going to be ready to participate in the team’s OTAs which get started on May 18.

Re: DiGiorgio closer to 100 percent

we need him soon. He's quality depth.

Re: DiGiorgio closer to 100 percent

I'd like to see him get a shot to start over Ellison.

I would take just about anyone over Keith Ellison.

Keith Ellison... you are the weakest link.

Digi is a key player for us this year. A quality guy, that provides much needed depth, at a position of importance.:historian:

Re: DiGiorgio closer to 100 percent

He "should be ready by training camp" means he won't be. Mark it down. Too bad, he's good depth. But we'll survive....

THANK YOU.

Who would really complain about a DiGiorgio/Posluszny/Mitchell LB corp? I wouldn't mind that on running downs, then put in Harris or Bowen on passing plays. Of course neither are sure things, but Ellison has to go...

Re: DiGiorgio closer to 100 percent

I think it will take DiGi more then camp to be starter ready if he could win the spot... The ACL is tough thing to bounce back from.

Then we are once again settling for backups with limited ability posing as starters, ala Kelsay.

Well kinda, yeah. But, when your "backup" is better then your starter, whatcha gonna do?

You can only work with what ya got. I think Digi should have been starting over Ellison last year. Ellison made like one play the entire year...... he ran for a 1st down on a fake punt.

Re: DiGiorgio closer to 100 percent

Digi is awful, just like Ellison. This really doesn't mean anything.

OK, so they both suck. That wasn't the question though. Let me rephrase it, "Who sucks the least?"

[Turbo.GUN.Hawk!]

Re: DiGiorgio closer to 100 percent

Did we resigned him?

Back in 07 I remember he was pretty fast against the run, the opposite of Ellison. I would love Fewell to use him as an outside instead of Ellison.

Digi sucked?He wasn't great but he did admirably well without a Stroud in front of him.

One of the best posts of the thread. He wasnt all-world, but he wasnt a liability, and that was without stroud up front.
