Their noodle necks would only be strong enough to draw blood and maybe slowly tear flesh. They looked to rely on their razor like teeth more than jaw strength.

Their noodle necks would only be strong enough to draw blood and maybe slowly tear flesh. They looked to rely on their razor like teeth more than jaw strength. A human could beat them with kick.
Anyone says they have a strong bite doesn't pay attention to other animals with similar jaws. Crocodiles for example can do 3700 PSI but is supported by a rigid neck and doesn't have to deal with the weight to support its jaws. This is also support by a jaw snapping mechanism. You could effectively hold a crocodiles mouth shut with no force at all. This would say the Jarasic Park ones had 1000 PSI, but real life ones 100 PSI and the teeth did all the work. Yeah I think humans have a stronger jaw, further the mouth extends from the jaw the more muscle it needs.
Looked up a caiman bite force it about 400 PSI. There are some that can do more but it makes sense crocodile bite force is how much it can do with its weight. Slightly larger than a chicken Dino isn't going to compete with a caiman.
