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.
What conclusion do you draw from the fact that he continues to get passed on the depth chart by guys like Nading, Zgoniga, and Robinson? The Texans staff has no reason to like these guys and has more invested in Okam than any of them (5th round pick). If he can't beat out any of these guys it should tell all of us everything we need to know about how good he is right now. Maybe he EARNS time next year and turns a corner in becoming a player, but every conceivable sign points to no right now.
