He's horrible
One tackle, one assist  
sb from NYT Forum : 12/7/2016 11:07 pm : link
Actually worse than last year when he only played 8 games. What a stiff.
He is Tied with Robbie Gould in Tackles....

We thought

he was going to be Osi 2.0
Another Reese special

Between him and Bromley, I think it's safe to assume neither will earn a 2nd contract with the NYG.

Theoretically, with JPP likely done until 2017, he should have an opportunity now at both DE and DT. Let's see if he seizes upon it.

Giants drafted him. Down he went.
He is tight,  
RetroJint : 12/8/2016 6:38 am : link
undersized and injury prone.
Looks good coming off the bus  
B in ALB : 12/8/2016 7:29 am : link
That's about it.
Get him in there, time to see what he's about.  
Jim in Forest Hills : 12/8/2016 7:58 am : link
Excited for him to get some snaps.
I remember on a 2015 episode of path to the draft  
superspynyg : 12/8/2016 9:01 am : link
That focused on the GMen, that Charlie Casserly picked Owa as our first rnd pick.after that I lost total faith in Charlie Casserly's ability to pick players.
When we got him in rd 3 I was very happy.

Agreed. Hopefully he steps up.
He has not performed, but I am shocked  
gmen9892 : 12/8/2016 9:37 am : link
That so many people are trashing him. This is essentially his rookie year and he was always touted as a raw prospect coming out of UCLA. The kid never picked up a football until highschool.

He will now get a ton more snaps with JPP out. I think we will finally see what he has to offer. It may be nothing, or he may actually flash some potential. But to say that he sucks and that hes a bust not even 2 years into his NFL career is kind of ridiculous.

more time. Rookie year was a wash out because of injuries. Also played in a 3-4 at UCLA. It does appear he's been passed by Okwara, but don't give up hope yet. Need at a minimum to see what he can do the rest of the year. Question with him is injuries. His injuries in college caused several teams to take him off their draft boards. The Giants also wanted Lockett or Strong, but Seattle and Houston traded up ahead of them. OO was a fall back choice.
We do realize that JPP and OV...  
Dan in the Springs : 12/8/2016 11:29 am : link
have had over 95% of snaps on the DL right? OO has had very few snaps at his natural DE position, and while he doesn't have many stats, he has recorded some pressure.

If JPP or OV were playing poorly then you might think his performance is terrible, and it's true that he seems to be losing snaps to an undrafted rookie.

Still a stretch to consider him a bust though. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he can do if given extended playing time.
Its about production and potential

When you take a guy that early you expect a hell of a lot
more meanwhile a UDFA Okwara has shown a hell of a lot more
I hope the light goes on pretty quick and the same with Bromley . Its the very reason why we had to spend a boat
load on Defense and we have plenty of holes on offense
to boot .
Be nice if

OO got healthy, manned-up, and reached his potential. Especially now.
