Oo-blah-dee, Obada, life goes onnnnn!

I know it was against lesser competition, but good showing last night for the international guy. In my opinion he looked a lot better than guys like Larry Webster, whom I know some people have a fondness for.

That one knockdown sack was pretty cool. He had a good deflection too.

I figured he deserved his own thread.

I guess that sucks in one way but he gets to develop without the threat of being plucked by other teams which is awesome.

I don't understand the rules either, especially since he's been in the league for two years already. Why the hell can't he play?

He is still green to the game. Give him 1 yr on our PS and our weight training program, he could be a future DE for us. He is determined and has great measurables with a great work attitude.

Wow, cool story. He has the look of the part. Hope he develops well and contends for a full roster spot next year. Our big name DEs are getting a bit long in the tooth, but they can be great mentors for him.

Truth^

To learn from JP and CJ is huge. Dallas never had that type of mentors nor NE tbh.

   True. I wonder if he gets paid and who by? But if hes not under contract then Carolina could be coaching him up for someone elses benefit which would be a pity. Mind you I guess its unlikely that anyone else will come in for him at the end of the year if they never see him play. Love that he has Osi Umenyiora coaching him. That guy is hilarious in UK coverage of the NFL, but more importantly was a hell of a DE for the Giants. Anyway, hoping my fellow Brit can make people take notice of his play in Carolina. Keep up the good work Obada.

Surprised he got on the pitch. Pleased he got a sack. Weird and disappointing that a rule that keeps him on the practice squad all year though. Anyone know what happens after that?

Yeah I'd like to know how we can keep him if he keeps his play up.
