Is Okung a bust!

[geezer]

It is frustrating to see all his penalties. Offensive line may be the biggest weakness. Okung appears to be weak in the brain!

His blocking is decent, needs to focus on snap count, fixable.

If things dont get better that position needs to be evaluated in the offseason. I know hes not 100% healthy but thats part of the problem as well. Cant be paying him franchise LT money if he isnt one. Especially with Wilson, Wagner, KJ, etc. contracts coming up.

No, he's still prob. one of the better O-Lineman from that class. It doesn't help that Bevell keeps drafting up these goof ball plays that really make our O-Line have to work harder than they should be. When you run a power I offensive run, there's very small risk of a false start because it's an easy play for a lineman.

However, when you keep doing these Jets sweeps and goofball empty backfields with no blocking help.... the pressure on the O-Line is immense because if they get beat it's a sure sack.


The bigger bust is Bruce Irvin. He's done nothing since his rookie season and whiffed on a wide open sack today that literally cost the game.

He has these lapses, but usually comes back and does well.

He is in his 4th year. You cain't fix stupid.

j/k about the stupid part, but some guys just don't get it. He has a rep for continued problems as our LT.

I was going to post something similar. If he was a rookie, the false starts wouldn't be as concerning, but he's been around long enough that he shouldn't still be plagued by these mistakes. The guy has been a false start machine his entire career. And the false starts at home in particular are maddening. There's no excuse for him to commit as many as he does.

He's not a bust, but he'll never be great IMO. He's definitely not one of the guys I'd like to see the Hawks invest long-term money on.
