Thread: Bears Sign Okoye

If he doesn't make the team, the villagers will storm the compound...I think he's pretty much being treated like a 1st round pick, but on the d-line.

I think we keep 9 DL this season(Gholston, Okoye, Adams, Peppers, Toe, Izzy, Paea, Wootton, Melton). At least Harrison should be gone. Jeez I wish they would do something on the OL already. If people thought last years pre-season line had issues I will hate to see this one.

I think they're going back to the old system of two way players shorty. We used to have players who played both OG and DT like Stan Jones, so out of those nine the two who don't make the rotation get to be our starting OG's. Right now I'm thinkin' "Toe" and "Okoye" stand the best chance.

Actually that group amount to 5 DT's and 4 DE's and I think you're right in that all 9 should make the final cut. Even with a rotation you can probably bank on injuries costing some of them a game or two or even a season so 9 really shouldn't be an overload. We won't be carrying 4 TE's this year so that'll create some room.

The only way this offensive line gets better as it sits is that it has Gabe Carimi, and the rest of the unit has a year under its belt together fully intact. I don't know anything about Chris Spencer. Now if Jerry Angelo will just sign another OG, we'll be fine.

Okoye is a pretty good player, and is a better pass rusher than Anthony Adams. I'll be interested in seeing which player sees more playing time.
