Nice to See Otah on the field

keep his ass on the field and his head in the game.

i just wish that happened more often because things sure work well when it does. dude's just high maintenance. i'm hoping that ziemba learns quickly how to do the job at the pro level because i feel like we are going to be needing him to play at RT pretty often.

until otah can prove he can stay in the game i will continue to have my doubts that he can.

Exact same thing Lions fans are saying about Stafford.

This team is better with him. Otah is just another Beast

Otah is definitely a difference maker on the o-line. If he can stay healthy and play to his potential (two big questions markes), he will get paid big bucks when his rookie contract ends.

IMO, his health and desire to stay game-ready are the only questions.

He has always been a beast when on the field. We are a different offense with him in the game.

    • Plus he was in the era in which Safety, LBs, and CBs could de-cleat WRs/TEs on crossing routes. He was beyond tough too. Plus those numbers his 4.66 40 time etc....... GameDay with 15 LBs of pads/clothes/tape, he was the fastest guy on the field. In fact I never recall at any point Rice being ran down or "hawked" from behind by any player. He was a gamer and clutch, just like lex Lugar the total package. 
    • Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE. 
    • He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
