Amobi Okoye News Archives

Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky The situation: The Texans had just driven to a touchdown that made it 31-31 near the end of the third quarter.

It wasn't particularly a day for a defense to celebrate, especially allowing 449 yards, but Amobi Okoye was still "enjoying this victory, feeling good about it," after the Texans edged the Titans on Sunday.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Kerry Collins fumbles the ball against the Houston Texans with 1:32 left in the fourth quarter Sunday in Nashville.

KICKOFF: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET SURFACE: Grass TV: CBS SERIES: 15th regular-season meeting.

He may be a millionaire and playing pro football, but invariably when Amobi Okoye and his former Lee High School teammates and coaches reunite, he's a target.

No sacks all day, let me repeat that NO SACKS ALL DAY. Even with a rookie quarterback, this line has to get a lot of credit for them defending their young QB.

Two years ago, he surprisingly wasn't intimidated at being the youngest player in the NFL at 19.

As was pointed out by Joe in the comments of the last post, on Thursday morning, FanHouse posted its NFL predictions for 2009.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre was fined $10,000 by the NFL on Friday for his crack-back block on Houston defensive back Eugene Wilson in a preseason game.

Even the most casual of NFL fans will probably have their TV tuned to ESPN tonight for the preseason clash between the Vikings and Texans, if for no other reason than to see the strange sight of quarterback Brett Favre wearing #4 in purple.

The college draft is supposed to be the NFL 's great equalizer. The worst teams are awarded the highest picks in the annual draft, theoretically giving them the best players coming out of college each season.

At least two starting spots remain up for grabs. Rookie first-round pick Brian Cushing, who was scheduled to start at strongside linebacker, still hasn't played because of a knee injury.

It's never truly Texans season until there's the first Matt Schaub injury scare.

Schaub went to the sideline to have his ankle taped, and he and Leach later returned to the game.
