Lot of bodies vying for LB spots on the roster with good play.

Going to be some tough cuts at the position this year...

Nice write up and thank you Hunter.

Ola has the BONES in the OLB business to do very well but catching and excelling on Speial Teams is what's going to SEAL his fate in making the 53. I love his attitude of knowing what it takes to stick around. Selfless would be a good disripsion and he is on his way to making the 53, all you can ask.






Salute the nation

Well he had two great tackles on punts/ kicks. My guess is more than knowing his role, he knows they will play Dud Dupree no matter what because of the 9million.

yes, good article. I like his perspective, but as a fan I would be super stunned if he isn't on the final 53. I think he would have been last year if not for the injury. Nice to be discussing how painful it will be to let a good player go than scrubbing other team's roster to figure out who we might sign to fill out our own depth though.

I can't read the article ATM, are there any suggestions he might not make the final 53?

It doesn't say that, no. But Ola does indicate he understands where he is on the Depth chart and that he has to make an impact on ST.

Has way more upside than numerous linebackers on this team. He's humble and hungry.

Great attitude for the kid to have. He'll get his opportunities this season to shine and he knows it.
