Additionally Okoye made a great play on a screen pass, something few Texans have done in the history of the franchise.

I just think that Okoye has become a convenient fan scapegoat because of his high draft position. How many of you complaining actually broke down the line play in that game and how many just don't like the guy?

Being drafted high comes with high expectations. Yes he made some good plays but he gets manhandled way to much. A guy in his third year that was drafted that high shouldnt be getting moved around that easily. It is one thing to get pushed back alittle or sheilded off from a play but when you allow a single OL to move you five yards down the feild away from the play there is something wrong.

I want the guy to succeed as much as anyone but he has to stop getting dominated on certain plays every game. Making a few good plays then getting completely washed out on one isnt good enough. I dont care where you were drafted. Im not doggin the guy I just want to see he become more consistant.
