Idk, but their track record is getting a bit blah. Conley, Arnette, now Okudah. Lattimore is good, but gets dinged up a bit and isn't the brightest star in the sky. Wade was a bit tumbler in the draft. Etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro, Oregon has only 3 cornerbacks in the NFL currently and only one of them is starting (Terrence Mitchell who was replaced in Cleveland because of his performance or lack thereof and is playing for a tanking team) Relax, especially when they dont have anywhere close to the pedigree of OSU historically.

How are we saying he is worse than Gladney? Okudah didn't even get to finish one game this season and was supposedly having a great camp. Let's slow down there and let it play out. He allowed that big TD to Deebo, but he didn't have bad coverage on that play, just didn't get his head turned around. Aside from that, he was hardly targeted and had one pass breakup I believe. The injury sucks but Sherman returned from a torn Achilles at a much older age and had an all pro season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro, I didn't bring up Oregon CBs at all, did I? Guess what else? Oregon not having a bunch of CBs in the league doesn't negate OSU putting a bunch of busts in the league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least a position change to Safety or something. Black cloud has hung over his head since he hit the league. The Deebo TD is a super hard pass to defend. It's a great play by Deebo to track it and catch it. And Pleasant picked him up after that play when he came to the sideline. Pleasant is a great coach. He knows when to yell (i.e., when Okudah gets greedy and doesn't execute his run fit) and when to build a guy up. It's unfortunate that Okudah suffered this injury. I think Pleasant would have had him playing up to his potential if given time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah....not sure whats really going on but Jeff is way too talented to be playing like a UDFA. I had him higher than Lattimore, Ward, Arnette, Roby, Conley and Wade. His technique combined with his mental understanding was what made him special. Not sure whats happened with all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardlionfan Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 It’s an unfortunate injury. Okudah really needed to show major improvement this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still take him over Gladney. Even if Okudah never plays another down for Detroit, at least he's not a first class knucklehead like Gladney turned out to be. It just goes to show how hard it is to draft players who will be successful in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nagahide13 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Okudah has been so abysmal that this is legitimately not a blow to our secondary whatsoever. I do not know what happened to him, but he is awful. It is not a "lionized" issue. Dude is just straight up broken mentally and now physically as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take being elite in college and failing than being average 10 times out of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
