    Much like I have said about Conley over and over again, its all talk so far.

    Obi has done little to nothing on the field. He is in a new system just like everyone else.

    Practice matters. Production matters.

    Obi needs reps, pure and simple. Same with Conley

    Having hip surgery is significant. To judge Obi based on his play against Pats is not fair given he was likely dealing with hot hip injury and the incompetence of the prior coaching staff

    Nonetheless, in coaching parlance, Obi has to “flash” in training camp, as Conley did in mini camp. If he doesn’t, he’s going to get cut or be purely a ST player

    He’s apparently hurt again. Not practicing against the Lions today.
