hi everybody!
semantics aside, this was unquestionably a great pick. in my eyes the expectations on a 5th round pick are low, low, low and if okam reaches to any of his potential then the texans are that much better for it. i think there is a video of the d'line motoring through a coupling tackling dummies with jethro franklin giving them "inspiration" on the official site. mario looks god-like, amobi looks good, and okam is doing exactly the opposite of what jethro is yelling about. maybe it was the end of practice, maybe he just got filmed on one bad rep, but he looked as advertised: big and lazy. not that it really means much at this point, but i just thought i would throw it into the fire. and since most of his job is going to be make amobi and mario look better i'm not all that concerned with his perception.....that is, as long as amobi and mario look better.
on topic: between demeco, diles looking to start, and now x. adibi does anyone think that our defense just prefers smaller, coverage-capable linebackers?
