I was streaming the game and my stream went into buffing right after I saw the replay and said it would be overturned.   You are correct that he hit his arm but the ball didn't come free from his hand.   Credit Dalton for holding on and giving a forward motion.

Obada deserves the recognition though JJ Watts had 3 sacks in a loss and Jackson has two picks.

He might not get sacks every game but he is going to get pressures.   His sack was because the TE didn't get across the line quick enough but Obada burst was like a DB flying in there.  Dalton had no chance. 

 

The award was for NFC Defensive Player of the Week (Watt is in the AFC), but Jackson certainly would have been just as deserving. I think what made Obada’s performance more impressive though was how he impacted the game that much with such limited snaps...I kept getting frustrated with Rivera when he kept leaving Obada on the sidelines. Like IMMEDIATELY after the strip-sack got overturned, he took Obada out of the game :eyeroll:

If Obada ends up being somewhat of a 1-hit wonder, it still will be an incredible story.

That being said, I truly think he has the drive (and not to discount it, size & athleticism) to actually be an impact player for this team.

I see him being in the same mold as Addison a few years ago.  Maybe not the size to be an every down DE, but a terror on 3rd downs and as a pure pass rusher.

However, given what he has gone through, I'm not going to doubt he can do or be anything he wants.

I am so excited and happy for him, just want to be realistic.  He is a joy to watch

He actually has the size to be a every down DE. It’s experience he needs more of, mainly in run defense setting the edge. With Pep & Washington to learn from. Not worried about him being able to pick it up.

no but Id like to see him rotated in and all three of those guys + Horton get a similar amount of reps. Maybe less Horton and more OBADA!

That's rational but my boy up there thinks Rivera not starting him over the vets is a bad idea apparently. :)
