Ed Wang

[The Spaz]

It's a 5th round pick but I hate it!!!!!!!:tongue:

[Dozerdog]

Let the Wang jokes begin!

[kingJofNYC]

I saw him play against Alabama, he was brutal in pass blocking, just awful. Penalties and guys going right by him.

[TacklingDummy]

Wang, Wood, and Levitre on the line. Let's hear the jokes.

[bills4ver]

why do you hate the pick? depth at Tackle, don't know much about him..

[camelcowboy]

Worth fifth round pick alone because of name I'm buying the jersey

[djjimkelly]

Wang, Wood, and Levitre on the line. Let's here the jokes.


now all we need is cialis and some guy called the blue pill

hopefully next year we can grab a guy with the last name cox

[The Spaz]

Too light, not enough strength, gets over powered and not consistent.

[don137]

Hey Wang its a parking lot....

PRO DAY RESULTS: As usual, the scouts came out in droves to check out Virginia Tech Pro Day, with representatives from 25 teams in attendance in Blacksburg, Va., on March 18. And they weren't disappointed, as a couple of big prospects had solid performances. The biggest name of the group was offensive lineman Ed Wang (6-4 7/8, 318), who is looking to become the NFL's first Chinese player. Wang, who also worked out at the NFL Scouting Combine, could find his way into the first round of the draft. He ran the 40 in 5.09 and 5.12, had a 28-inch vertical jump, an 8-foot, 7-inch broad jump, a 4.72-second short shuttle, a 7.94-second three-cone drill and his arms measured in at 33 7/8 inches. - Gil Brandt, NFL.com

This is the 1st pick i didn't like in the draft for us! GO BILLS:confused:

[YardRat]

Can a mod merge all of the Wang threads please?

[The Spaz]

I hope he works out but I'm not liking this.

I think you are wrong...Tech season ticket holder...best running game in college football, pass blocking does need some work though, but according to the reports, nothing that can't be coached, and they all say he is smart, dedicated, and easily coached.

I think you are going to see a mauler in the run game, and then we count on the coaches to get him up to speed in the pass game.

[Dozerdog]

Wang, Wood, and Levitre on the line. Let's here the jokes.Dick needs to come back and coach these guys!

[Griff]

he's a former Tight End so he's pretty athletic, he's 6'5" and 314lbs he could put on weight, he's a bit of a project though.

I really hope so. I guess i'm more pissed because I liked guys a lot better than him at OT. We'll see.

I might not get my Charlie Brown jersey but I might just have to get a Wang jersey


1st ever Chinese born NFL player

[Dozerdog]

Wang, Wood, and Levitre on the line. Let's here the jokes.The only school that can cover these guys are the Trojans!

[Prov401]

Just saw some video on him. Definitely needs to learn to play low.

[BILLSROCK1212]

See that's why I don't like this pick...we have enough projects on the O-line. If our staff has faith he'll work out then that's awesome, but if he's just a project then I'm not a fan.

So what's the OL's nickname...

That's just what I was about to ask. The theme from this FO is consistent. Run and stop the run. I think he's a project, but in the long run, sounds like he might be good for the team...

snap out of it. Every single OT from the Staffold on were pretty much projects of some sort

[Scumbag College]

I know his brother Harry.

[TedMock]

Wang has all the natural tools and his size is fine at 315-320 range. His biggest problem by far is his inconsistency. When his technique is there he looks great. He just gets away from it way too much. If his head is on straight he's coachable and starting by 2011. Otherwise he's off the roster by 2012.

[don137]

Let the Wang jokes begin!

Merideth rang Levitre's Bell and gave his Wang Wood

[BILLSROCK1212]

Well the O-linemen drafted late are big projects. We already have Bell, Scott, and Meredith.

Not a project, been a staple at LT for the Hokies, 3 year starter. NOT a project at all.

[TacklingDummy]

We should have drafted Clausen and the Bills could have a dick behind center also.

[SquishDaFish]

Good ones Dozer :roflmao:

1st ever Chinese born NFL player

Season ticket sales from Niagara Falls are going to skyrocket!

[Griff]

See that's why I don't like this pick...we have enough projects on the O-line. If our staff has faith he'll work out then that's awesome, but if he's just a project then I'm not a fan.

the difference is coaching, Chan is used to teaching kids to be better, DJ was just a cheerleader.

[Oaf]

I really hope so. I guess i'm more pissed because I liked guys a lot better than him at OT. We'll see.
You should of taken the hint in round 2 that OBD gets a different look at players than we do and so values them differently..

[The Spaz]

Hey don't hate me now. I have liked all the picks until this one. :up:

[ddaryl]

Season ticket sales from Niagara Falls are going to skyrocket!


LOL!

yeah here's our ticket sales pick... We now have the enitre population of China as Bills fans :bath:

[Oaf]

If our staff has faith he'll work out then that's awesome, but if he's just a project then I'm not a fan.

There is no such thing as "just a project". Why would our staff draft him if we didn't have faith?

[ddaryl]

Hey don't hate me now. I have liked all the picks until this one. :up:


Obvioulsy the upside for this kid is much higher then the others... That's my guess on why he was picked donw here. :kid:

[Buddo]

Does a Wang jersey from china count as 'authentic'?

[YardRat]

Wang's name, written in Mandarin...

王

Wonder if that'll be on the back of his uniform?

[New Ro's Greatest]

We should have drafted Clausen and the Bills could have a dick behind center also. GO BILLS:lol!:

[NOT THE DUDE...]

solid run blocker put up 29 reps of 225 so thats good... i think hes solid depth....

[HAMMER]

First Chinese player ever drafted, his nickname is Godzilla, love it.

as a tech alum and a guy who has watched every game the guy has played.. i agree completely with what tedmock said.

he is extremely smart and coachable, so i am banking that he will be coached up vs. flaming out. he is a big boy though that will get bigger.

[Griff]

terrible nickname, Godzilla is Japanese. I like Big Wang.

[BuffaloBlakely14]

These are the two keys. This is what every player we have taken in this draft is about. Good producer, smart and coachable. Head of college scouting for Bills just said, looked at as a LT.

[methos4ever]

Buffalo Bills just got a great guy to develop and 3 BILLION new fans. Doubt me? Look at even the most marginal Chinese player in the NBA and how they get endorsements out the wazzoo back home.

Russ popped a chub when Buddy made this pick.

[Commissioner]

I hope he becomes known as The Great Wall...

[Buddo]

terrible nickname, Godzilla is Japanese. I like Big Wang.


You might want to re-phrase that.....lol!

[ddaryl]

Sorry Griff, but you knew this had to be coming


How much do you like Big Wang ? :biggrin:

[Commissioner]

Nice video of him against North Carolina....

Plays a little high... but looks light on his feet. I think he's got some real potential.

I actually didn't think he looked that good in some of those clips. He definitely needs to get alot stronger and he needs to stop ending up on the ground so much! He made lots of glaring mistakes too. I did like him running into the open field/2nd level to block for the rb also. At this pt, I think he'll benefit from a strong weightlifting regimen. If he wants to be a great run blocker, he's got to be stout and be able to push bigger and faster DEs than in college backward.

In truth, he may just be backup material until we get a top 2nd rd OT alongside a QB next year!

[justasportsfan]

need him to be a lot more meaner.

Plus he can do math.

I'm not married to it, but I'm hoping it becomes a legal option soon ;)

Hells ya that is by far the best name I've heard. Lets count it.
