I dont think the physical aspect is really a concern, the mental part will be the hardest.

sure, through ota's and such, but how many padded, 11 on 11 drills do you get pancaked on before you get some badass in you?
seems like okoye should be getting pretty tired of being the o-line's bi*ch after this many practices. if he's not coming around by next week, then he might not have the constitution for this kind of brutality.

The PS spots will be in high demand. Chances are he won't be in a position to be activate in case of an emergency. He needs to show something fast.

he's way too high cut for d-line.
I still don't understand why any NFL team hasn't hired you yet. Its an outrage.

LOL...watched his few snaps. Not bad, trying to engaged and contain edge (lined up outside and inside)...LOVED his speed/hustle on the Skuta sack though. Got shoved back by two OL (happened to all our DL this game as well esp. cold). He's just "thinking." Let's see him build off it now...more snaps...more "react."

did he have his hands on the ground? Maybe if he rushed from standing it would be easier for him? I hope he gets more reps this game

Good question...outside, he stood up ala Justin Smith. Inside, he had his hand in the dirt. He will...sounds like they have a plan in place for him and this next game he'll get more snaps and a few chances to rush even. We'll see...

I would think that it is easier to rush with his hand on the ground. Standing up helps with reading pass or run though.
