As for Diles and Walter... like I said, you've got two guys who practiced hard, drew praise from their coach, and earned spots. There is no correllation to Okam.

The correllations for walter and diles are Deljuan Robinson and Jesse Nading. Both are hard working young players who have performed well enough in practice to EARN their way into the DT rotation.

The way you make it out, Okam must be not do anything. You say he doesnt practice hard...Show me a quote where Kubs has said this. The only thing I have heard Kubiak say concerning Okam and where he was as a player was that he had a lot to learn. As for Fred Bennett, he started after Duanta Robinson when he was injured. As I remember, it was after that Kubiak made a statement about he should have probably played him more, but he felt like Petey was "better" at the time. I will see if I can find the quote, or maybe someone else can provide that.

This is becoming pointless. You think Okam is lazy, and he may be. I don't know that. If he is as lazy as you are making him out, then he should be cut; however, I doubt he is as bad as the rap he is getting.
