White Linen Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I really like Okoye. Big, strong, and athletic. I think he needs to learn how to play smart, but the physical tools are there. I followed him a little bit throughout the year after watching him in pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stony Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Why are they available still? Thats the first question id ask Harris seems injured a lot, and Okoye seems to have never reached his considerable potential. He came into the league really really young if I remember correctly.

He came into the league really really young if I remember correctly. yea harris had some sort of injury last year and was playing out of position i believe in a 3-4. okoye is a 4 year vet coming into the league at 20. He's just now starting to hit his stride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Why are they available still? Thats the first question id ask There's questins marks surrounding any of the available free agents. The top tier got signed, now we're in the 2nd and 3rd tier. Doesn't mean they're not good football players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Notwithstanding injury issues, with Tommie Harris you've got to ask if his head is in the right place to play football after the passing of his wife Ashley. I'm not even sure he's out on free agent trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean they're not good football players. O im not saying they are bad football players but these are two relative names out there at an important position I just wonder if there is a reason why there has been little interest? Major injury? Malcontent? Suspensions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 somebody tell me these guys wouldnt be immediate upgrades over johnson and edwards? What makes upgrades to Johnson and Edwards relevant? Our line right now will be Williams-Dareus-Williams-Kelsay (or maybe Williams-Williams-Dareus-Kelsay), with Merriman if healthy as a situational pass rusher or if really healthy, possibly displaces Kelsey. If we sign Anderson, it will be a rotation of Kelsay and Anderson. We have Carrington as depth, and possibly Moats or Batten depending upon the draft and how they are seen as 4-3 LB Johnson and Edwards are relatively highly paid and will quite likely be cut. Harris and Okoye are neither upgrades on Kelsay/Merriman/Anderson or young enough to develop like Carrington/draftee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

switz1610 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Would like Okoye a lot. I think, similar to Mario, he was lost in the scheme change and fits much better in a 4-3 than 3-4. Didn't know that about Harris, I feel bad for the guy. Widower with two kids at 29. I do think, however, locker room-wise this would be a good place for him.

BB2004 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Okoye yes. . .Harris maybe not. I'd want the youth. Okoye was a good player last year. I was good on the pass rush, I think for the bears. Edited March 21, 2012 by BB2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
