Talked to the agent for OT Jeff Otah, who told me his client is in "great shape. I talked with Marty Hurney and he told me he was thrilled with how good Jeff looked. ..."

"... The knee is fine and he's all ready to go. He's eager to get on the field." Otah has missed the last 19 games with knee problems.

I just hope he can get back in there and pick up where he left off.

"Eric Metz, the agent for starting RT Jeff Otah, said his client is in "great shape" and ready to start the season. "I talked with Marty Hurney and he told me he was thrilled with how good Jeff looked. His knee is great." Otah has missed the last 19 games with knee injuries. When healthy, he's a stud run blocker."

UPDATE:

he's still fat

But seriously, if Otah can get back to his 2008 form (or hopefully better), we are in GREAT shape. He was a beast for the running game.

How bout adding a Leonard Davis at RG...10 yrd rushing average...run right please!

I PRAY they make Otah wear Knee Braces this season. Our running game was dead without him..

I was just about to bump this thread with that update and link. How great would that be if Otah is healthy and back to form?

Gross, Wharton, Kalil, ???, Otah. With the Schwartz love from the highly reputable PFF (not to be confused with the highly disputable PFT) I'm exctatic about all areas of our O line again. With great developmental depth too.

Combine that with Double Trouble returning and their awesome matrix dance (which will soon be a statue at the stadium according to my source*) and our revamped TE unit, and 89 returning and the promising youth and speed and size of our WR Corp, and Cam... And a REAL OC... Is this a wet dream or is this really happening?????

**disclaimer** my source is 3 Norcos and a six pack of beer.

Not having cohesion on the O-line was a HUGE part of why we were garbage last year if he is healthy and gels with the rest of the line during training camp thats worth 2-3 wins alone.

It would be even better if Duke Robinson stayed in shape and live up to what everybody thought he was gonna be.

I have to admit that he looked pretty slim in that Charlotte Observer pic I saw. I'm not getting my hope up for him though. Otah, on the other hand, has at least proven that he can play when healthy.

I just hope Otah hasn't been eating big macs with JaMarcus this whole offseason.

The man is a beast when healthy. His pass blocking was well underrated because of his put your ass in the bleachers blocking.
