Agreed. He's had what, a combined 3 months of padded practice? If that. Let this kid work all season and then we'll see what's what.

He was with us last year during TC as well...

No, he was put on I.R. for the year so he could still be on the team...could study, use the facilities but not practice with the team.
Dial has a chance to be even better anyhow.

He got injured and was put on IR after the third preseason game last year. He took part in the majority of TC 2013.
2015 is his year. I'm expecting him to be able to really perform and catch on next season as a rotational player.

True but it was his first NFL experience...ever. Coaches liked his potential and committment and had him fake an injury. One year on the PS may just what he needs. He made huge srides in that first game...injury hurt his chances big time.

Your assuming that Okoye was kept simply because RayMac got in trouble. If you keep operating under this assumption, you will never make a logically coherent argument. The two events, RayMac beat a woman, and Okoye made the practice squad, are not mutually exclusive. Further, Okoye isn't the only lineman in the entire NFL who was cut and eligible for the PS. Kind of pathetic to make up a scenario in order to avoid admitting to being wrong.

Exactly. One of the last one's cut and the first one signed...to the PS...not the "active roster" where he would replace RayMac. Besides, RayMac wouldn't get suspended for a long long time...most likely, next year.

nc i think you know i was being a little sarcastic in my theory about why they kept lawrence,, amp does not get my sense of humor. you guys want me to be serious,, ok,, there is a 10 per cent part of me that actually thinks rays arrest helped lawrence get a spot on the roster. there i am serious. remember earlier in this thread some guys said the team was working on a plan to stash him on the roster? I just was making what i thought was a good humored poke at that but my "theory",, of which about 10 per cent of me agrees with. i just think its kind of pathetic we can not have some fun around here without someone getting all worked up. and by the way amp,, check my history,,, i admit when i am wrong all the time. stop being so thin skinnned

I think if Okoye continues on his development trajectory, he can replace RayMac temporarily (with other veteran D Linemen in a situation substitution scenario) for 6 games next year.
