Not that that really matters at the end of day, but people expect a lot from high first round picks....a DT can have a great game and have it go unnoticed by the fans. Okoye is still on his honeymoon so to speak, and he did show flashes last year, but if he can just get 6-8 sacks and do his job in the middle against the run then he's done a good job.

yea, i just looked at mario's improvement (from 4.5 to 14.5 i think) tripling in one year and figured it would be sweet for okoye to double his. but you guys are right, 10 from a DT is over stating amobi especially because of mario being there too. but the possibility of this line being a hellraiser is high. weaver might even get a sack hahaha...

Not so much. One - Bennett will start over one of them. Two - I think Faggins is better than most give him credit for.. I have no idea what his deal was last year though. Three - I think that Reeves' performance last year was a product of a scheme that didnt fit and horrible S play from Roy W., whom it arguably the worst S in coverage ever.

i gotta say man, faggins is exactly as bad as i think he is. reeves has a shot to turn his physical abilities into something here, but he's got to prove what he is before i start praising/slamming him.

arguably the worst S in coverage ever? who is arguing that? hahahahaa...

2. Can Brandon Frye impress Alex Gibbs enough to make Weary a back-up? Imagine, 2 Hokies on the OL!
I think the question is can he beat out Brisiel or Studdard. Weary is backup if he makes the team at all IMO.

forgot about spencer already?

5. How potent can the passing game be if we keep AJ, JJ, AD, and Matt Schaub healthy?
I would have to argure that OD is way more integral in the passing game than JJ is, baring injury. I think AJ is the key though, not that the passing game sucked last year (It was better than we have seen in a long time) but the other two are not even close to AJ in terms of what he brings to the table.

indeed. OD's pull in kubiak's offense is going to be greater than jj's unless jacoby cracks into the 2 spot which i'll file under "possible". OD is a consistently open target with good hands......GOT to fix the oopsies though. kubiak almost got thrown under the bus for letting him play through a couple of key fumbles in a row last year. i'm not worried about it though, OD is a man's man.
