"The Bust" Is Your AFC Rookie Of The Month

Sorry for the radio silence around these parts for the past couple of days; work was kicking my arse.  It's lightened up now though, so we return to our regularly scheduled snarky commentary.

The player PFT reported was being labeled a bust before he ever played his first regular season game has, SURPRISE!, been named the AFC Rookie of the Month.  His name is Amobi Okoye.  He has four (4) sacks in four (4) games.  He also has 10 tackles and a forced fumble.  He may also have the power to heal lepers.  Congratulations to Houston's new "Nigerian Nightmare" on the first of what I'm sure will be many awards throughout his time in H-Town.

And don't worry--I'll be weighing in on Kubes' decision to start Petey Faggins (again) on Sunday soon.  Very soon.

Bust
Yea, and the guy he was touting ,Carriker, looks like this:

Four tackles - 0 sacks.

That's why...
Florio is a retard.  Anyone with any sense knows that taking a speed rushing end and putting him at tackle rarely works.  Watch Carriker's Nebraska highlights--seldom does he just blow someone up with a bull rush.

Lessons from Mario
And it may take Carriker ( how badly am I butchering this guys name ?) more than four games to develop.

Florio however is a bust. I always wince when "unnamed circles" or "unnamed sources" are quoted. Sometimes I read .. "I made this up but you can't prove it."
