Allstarjim Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 looks the part...unfortunately, that's not everything...it's all about his ability to grip He'll be able to grip just fine. I've put out the challenge before... grab your own shirt without the use of your index finger and pull. You can easily do so with power. Wasn't there some doctor that said the majority of your grip strength comes from your middle and ring fingers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allstarjim Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 My understanding is he had one sack last year...unless that's an opinion 1. He didn't play a good portion of the season 2. He did get a lot of QB hurries/pressure 3. He wore a club almost all last season, now we are talking about him having use of the hand He'll be fine... in fact, much better than fine.

Allstarjim Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yeah but that thumb looks pretty fucked up too... Don't really need your thumb to grasp either, but he has one, it's just a little shorter now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 There's a big difference between pulling at your own shirt and dragging a man to the turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 As long as he doesn't have a club that confines him to arm tackling mahfuckas all the time, I can see him improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 hr has a lot more help on the line now at least. If he pressures like he did last year we'll be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_NYG Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I for one am quite sure he is going to be a beast this year - and will be primed for a long term contract with the Giants come next year. You could see he was improving with every game. No one can plan the run better than he can and he was the best at batting balls down as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I think he'll be improved over last season, but I'm not expecting the guy he used to be either. Agreed, grabbing a cup of coffee is far different than dragging down a guy like Cam Newton. He has half a thumb, no index finger, and a jacked up middle finger. I have no knowledge of the tendons that may or may not have been destroyed as well as what was done to repair them if anything. Range of motion, grip strength, etc. will play as big a role as any conditioning. I'm sure he'll continue to get pressures. But whether or not the sacks will come depends largely on his hand and his ability to use it. I'm hoping this Olivier cat we brought in does more for JPP than his improved hand will.

NightFire Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Just get him some Captains of Crush grippers and he'll be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 If he can get pressure, and be a good run stopping left end, that is good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFP Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 He'll be able to grip just fine. I've put out the challenge before... grab your own shirt without the use of your index finger and pull. You can easily do so with power. Wasn't there some doctor that said the majority of your grip strength comes from your middle and ring fingers? That injured hand needs some sort of reinforcement (i.e., like the metal in a wrist brace) to help his existing fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Well, there's one way to go if he has trouble grasping with that hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightFire Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Better, they should get him a mechanical hand like Ash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
