Comments on: Texans say goodbye to Amobi Okoye and David Anderson http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/30/texans-say-goodbye-to-amobi-okoye-and-david-anderson/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Thu, 20 Jun 2013 03:05:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: ajtexans http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/30/texans-say-goodbye-to-amobi-okoye-and-david-anderson/#comment-1161253 Sat, 30 Jul 2011 23:33:05 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=143727#comment-1161253 He was cut because he’s not a fit on a 3-4 DL. He can play 3-tech somewhere, but his motivation and passion for football is the issue. He still wants to go med school – at least that’s what he’s said. He does great community work in his native Nigeria and he’s super smart – maybe too smart for the NFL. This will be his last contract wherever it is…

At his age, the fact he was cut is more an indictment of the organizations inability to develop defensive players. No matter how you cut it, they’ve never been a defensive oriented team and he was drafted at 19.

Anderson will be missed- great guy and got the most of his ability, unlike Jacoby Jones

You’d think first round picks would be automatically high level players after all the microscopic examination they go through and you still end up with farts in the wind…….

Put him in rotation with Geno Atkins along side of Peko. put all three in on obvious running plays.
Carlos Dunlap and Michael Johnson on the ends will have 20+ sacks between them with Dunlap getting 13 or more of them.

Won’t be the first time that’s happened.

The broncos need help enough to overpay him though.

The 3-4 was something he certainly isn’t built for.

He is a decent player.

However Wade Philips knows defense better than most and it he cut Okoye there’s got to be more to it. Not to mention that his stats aren’t that spectacular.

Kid’s only 24 and still gas untapped talent.

Still young with at least four years of service in the NFL. Rod can get him motivated and ready. Something that the Texans could not do!

Not a bears fan but I think it’s reasonable to say they should go for Anderson.

Who will do Connans string dance when they score a td now?

I’ll miss david anderson. An i’m sure Okoye will become a decent player somewhere. His entire career so far has been with garbage d-line coaches and cord’s.

They need DT’s so badly.
