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.

I believe NCommand was referring to the "hawt garbage," "scrub," and "lock this b****h up" comments. It isn't for folks feel Okoye doesn't deserve a place on the PS, but for the level of invective from some. This lack of respect for both the player (so recently a Niner) and posters who support Okoye qualifies as "a**hole" comments.

He showed flashes in the first preseason game, made a huge improvement from year one to two, had some positive reports throughout camp, possesses measurables of a JJ Watt, is as young as a college athlete. He got a high ankle sprain at the end of the first preseason game and tried to play through it during the rest of the preseason, but was clearly hampered. High ankle sprains take much more time to overcome. He's the definition of a p-squad player you'd like to develop.
will meet you half way.. if he makes the practice squad i will root for him and will be happy for him.. i really do think there were many guys we cut in areas of need like the offensive line and maybe winston at running back where it would be more valuable to give them a spot than lawrence

It is a 24 hour period, from 1pm PST/4pm EST yesterday to the same time today.

We should bring him back or make another move considering RayMac allegedly was arrested last night.
not sure if we bring him back on the taxi squad.

I would think that Purcell we would bring in before him.
Omg but he's really big and has never played football so he has hall of fame potentialzzz
