Shawne Merriman is a straight BEAST

Found this pretty interesting article on his muay thai training. Guy trains like a warrior, lets hope he can showcase it on the field with the Bills. Honestly...everytime I look at the man he scares me.

BTW...new to this forum, wanted to say whatup and I look forward to future posts. LETS GO BILLS.

first of all, welcome to the forum
secondly, i really am hoping he returns to his normal form we're all used to in the past. by that i mean the pro bowl-calibre player, not the injury-plagued one. time will only tell, i suppose. thanks for the link

[YardRat]

Welcome, and I think we're all hoping he can return to Pro Bowl form although many aren't holding their breath. The guy has a lot to prove this season.

[Night Train]

We are all hoping that this gamble pays off... but a part of me wonders if he can even make it out of camp.

Training > Tweeting

[ZEUS]

If the NFL doesn't work out for him, maybe he can get a shot at Brock Lesnar.

[justasportsfan]

he's nothing but a hobbling beast right now.

[HHURRICANE]

Funny that Spikes actually got back to playing football and was mentioned by new coach Harbaugh as a player he wanted and needs.

Merriman is very young so there is alot of upside. We'll see.

I still give him a 20% chance of making the team and contributing.

Is there a more overused cliche on football message boards than "beast"?

20% chance of making the team? I give him about a 100% chance of making the team.

[TacklingDummy]

He won't last the season.

I'm not expecting miracles from Merriman, I just hope he can be a solid starter for us. However, if his comments about the Bills doctors doing a really good job of helping him heal and get healthy are true, this could end up being a huge signing for us.

[Goobylal]

I'll trust the Bills' docs, namely orthopod Andrew Cappuccino. He's the one who helped Kevin Everett walk again. No doubt they were consulted before giving him that 2-year extension. Now it's up to Merriman to fulfill his end of the deal. Get him some better masking agent and let's roll!

"Franchise" QB

[Demon]

Aaron Maybin is a beast too... but that means nothing if neither of these 2 "beasts" can't see the field.

[ChristopherWalken]

The same was said about Coy Wire.

Coy Wire? Now that's a R E A C H !

[OpIv37]

I take a martial arts class that incorporates a lot of kickboxing, and it's no joke. I can't imagine doing it as a supplement to an NFL workout regimen.

He's only doing that stuff in case Tila Tequila shows up in Buffalo.

How long did they date for?

[HAMMER]

How long did they date for?

About six hours.

[billzboy2]

About six hours.

LMFAO HAHA!

[Beebe's Kid]

About six hours.
I only need about half of that...including the nap

[billzboy2]

I'd need half of half of that. I'd take 10 minutes with Tila Tequila.

Titans?

[jcdavey]

Titans?
yep

titans are the reason for his injury, he's never been the same since they tag teamed him

[WeAreArthurMoates]

What we did for Merriman is huge, letting him get healthy was the key. I don't think Merriman will ever get back to the player he was but I still think he will be a valuable asset and be a good player. I think will have a similar career transformation that Takeo had but at a different position.

[trapezeus]

currently the bills have zero tackling ability in the run or the pass. if merriman is a shell of his former self, he'll still be an upgrade.
