Otah's knee bothering him again

[Sam Mills Fan]

If Greg Oden counts as a Portland Trail Blazer bust and if Bruce Nelson counted as a bust for us, we need an official Huddle ruling on whether Jeff Otah counts as a bust or not. He was solid in his one real season as a starter, injured all the rest of the time. We traded a 1st rounder in order to get him plus our 2nd from 2008. Could have had DeSean Jackson in the 2nd that year and Hakeem Nicks in the 1st round in 2009 instead.

Bruce Campbell come on down.

And Tackle shoots up our draft board already.

The thing that has irked me about the Amini draft choice is for months I've been preaching OT as a huge need for this team. More so than a guard. Right after we picked Amini, 3 excellent OT prospects from big time, legitimate schools were selected. Really wanted Mike Adams from Ohio State. Thought he would be a perfect pick. He has starting experience against awesome competition and is familiar with mobile quarterbacks. The Steelers, who have a pretty damn good eye when evaluating offensive line prospects, picked him like 2 spots after we grabbed Amini.

Oh well what could have been.

Way to waste ur contract year Otah.

If Otah doesn't get it together this year, he never will.

Like I've said before, if Jeff has a good season (and it's fuging June 1st and we're already having our doubts) they have to let him walk. There is no way in hell they should invest a ton of money on a guy who can fug his knee playing with a wii.

I question his heart, too.

“Jeff tweaked his knee a little bit. It swelled up a little bit, so we're just checking on that,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. “We sent him for an MRI (Thursday) so we're going to have that read. We'll see.”

Otah, a first-round pick in 2008, has missed 31 of the past 35 games due to injury. He played in four games last fall before placed on injured reserve with knee and back ailments.

The Panthers thought shutting Otah down last fall would improve his long-term health.

Rivera was asked whether he was concerned about the latest setback.

“Not really,” Rivera said. “But we just wanted to make sure everything's OK.”

Rivera also was asked whether the 6-6, 330-pound Otah looked heavy during OTAs.

“I think Jeff looked like Jeff. Big,” Rivera said.

Bell or Campbell will start, maybe Pollack. Who knows, but if Otah is gone the RT spot is an open book. Jeff Otah was on his way to being a Pro Bowl talent before all this bullsh*t.

I didn't see that coming. Oh wait, lol I did. Hopefully he'll be fine come September.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Rivera said he's not concerned...well see how the MRI goes. Campbell probably has more potential than bell and it would be nice to see him step up and fulfill that potential

[TopCat]

Of course it is.

SMF, are you trying to make us feel bad? Regarding O'Nah, I can already tell which way you're leaning.

It was that fuggin jumping jack dance move he did at the OTA.

Maaaan, its a smokescreen... I been talkin to the lady at PanthersShop.com about when my Keuchly jersey comin, she gave me the low down. They gonna claim his knees hurt & sit him the first 15 games. Then theyre going to put him in the finale at NO to knock the rust off, and BAM! theres our playoff secret weapon. Yous thought Tolbert gonna make the goalline TDs? Hell nawz. Red zone throw? Shuttle pass to the big man & let him carry defenders to the endzone. Jeff Mufugggin Otah is our slam-bam-thank you ma'am-SuperBowl surprise. Mark my words, Championship...
