Efe Obada

[NAS]

Kid has done more than justify that he shouldn't just be guaranteed a spot on the practice squad.  I would be  disappointed if he doesn't make the 53 man roster over Daeshon Hall.

Just like I was saying 2 years ago, Byrd has that it factor that hunger.

Efe Obada moves likes LB and he can play inside with his size. The dude is strong, has a very quick first step and can run down fast QBs/RBs. I was his biggest fan last preseason and he has only gotten better.

If he does not make the roster I will be disappointed but he will definitely make it next year.

Obada is going to be solid.

Give Obada a few more years to develop and he could become a very solid rotational end.

I see what you are saying.  Hall has only been effective on stunts--but I would say way too early to give up on him.  His strength was his biggest issue--so maybe he gets another hang nail  and goes to IR (weight room) for another year.  Obada can stay on the PS without costing us a spot-

I like what we have in the oven at DE--Haynes, Hall, Cox, Obada---if Horton, Peppers, and Addison can hold down the fort for a while, we could be solid. 

I still say way too early to give up on Hall.  He is slowly improving and has a high ceiling.  Obada had a good preseason for sure.

Its now or never. I would be surprised if he doesn't make the team, and if he doesn't someone else will enjoy his service.

He is 26 now, so he should be there--but I see your point

Hoping Efe makes the 53. I wouldn't be astonished if another team gave him a contract and promoted him to their 53 if we try to stash him on ps again. Unlike Haynes and Cox he won't be trucked off the ball. Unlike Hall he is consistent. Give him a chance RR.

My question is,

Do you think Obada is as good or better than Horton

And if so would you be willing to cut a Horton to make room for Hall

 

Its just hard to bite and cut Hall.  Dude was a 3rd round pick with tons of potential and had to sit out his rookie season last year with a injury.

[Mainter]

Its a good question. Horton have proved to be a reliable run defender and based on playing time I don't see him being cut, but imo, Obada is more versatile and a better pass rusher, so I would have no problem with that.

Mario Addison didn't fully breakout until he was around 28.

I think if our future is Haynes, Hall, Cox and Obada, the future could be more than a bit troubling.

[Bronn]

He'll make the team. On the 53.

Right. Efe is a high effort guy who's reached his ceiling. BCox and Hall are younger and tremendous of untapped potential.

I wonder how much of the Efe love is based on the story and a few splash plays.  I'm guessing the coaches are looking at all of the snaps and looking also at things like keeping contain on run plays and such.

I'll be honest I haven't really took time to watch the game and just focus on him every play.
