Amobi Okoye: Henceforth to be called...

Hervoyel

Hervoyel

BUENO!
Since I think he sounds like a Jedi Knight I'm calling him...

Amobi-Wan Okoye or simply "The Force".

So let it be written, so let it be done. I'm going to have to whip up a sig pic for this.

I thought the same thing earlier today.

Help me Amobe-wan Okoye...you're my only hope.

I didn't think of the Force though...I like it.

I was too distracted by the cheerleaders, Miller-Lite girls, TCs legs & my wife's elbow to the ribs to be that creative at the Draft Party.....but I Love it Herv!
 
I don't know if I could tolerate seeing the Star Wars thing at Astro games with Luke Scott AND at Texans games with Amobi. It's not as clever but how about calling him The Professor. He's a really smart kid afterall. More than I can say for myself.

BTW David Carr was at the Astros game tonight. Uh oh I just turned this into a Carr thread. Sorry Herv.
 
Sheeeeeit, crunk dont like da pic mein.



what a shocker dude, im just messing with ya but come one, try some of that new agy positive thinking stuff :texflag:
 
Maybe we can have a nickname for our defense if Mario, DeMeco, Dunta, and Okoye all live up to their potential.

Well, that is 4 of the 11 defensive positions that are accounted for with, oh, top 33 picks, not to mention Babin and Travis Johnson in that mix (for a total of 6 of 11 defensive positions are top 33 picks), along with Weaver amd Greenwood in FA. I think we should start having an improved D, don't you?That just leaves maybe a future safety?....

Maybe on day 2 tomorrow?

Let's not do old worn out nicknames that other players made famous in other cities....that's just so...tailcoat riding. I came up with the Nigerian 419 Email Scammer-guy!


....but I don't think that will catch on.

I think a hologram with Amobi would make a nice avatar, even if Herv doesn't like the 419.
 
With Amobi Wan, Travis "Chewy" Johnson, Anthony "Solo" Weaver and Mario Calrissian-Williams all piling in the Maltese Lamborghini hopefully we will see "The Return of the Sack," in the city of Houston.
 
I like the Star Wars blast...and our D should take the field with the "Imperial March" playing.

bum bum bum Dum da dum Dum da dum

Just a part of the article, but 'Oh what a feeling'! :d: :mail: :doot:

Compares To: Reggie White, ex-Philadelphia/Green Bay … To compare a player to White is something that can not be done without much consideration … But the more you see Okoye on game films, the more convinced you become that he will not only have a long, fruitful career, but will continue to grow both physically and mentally.
 
well....the Reggie White comparison is kinda not too sharp....whomever wrote that probably never seen Reggie White play. White was a freak of nature that was 6'5" and physically imposing...Okoye is a short big man with quickness.

It's all good Vin! We'll take the positive press either way! :cool:

All joking aside, this year should pan out to be a real thrill for the fans and the team! :texflag:
 
hopefully at 19 he is still growing and can grow a few more inches in height.

if not, well here is to him learning the game :d:

I mean...last year "they" compared Mario Williams to Reggie White too....and Williams has about the opposite body type as Okoye. We are full of Reggie White clones now I guess. :)

You just can't have too many Reggie Whites. :shades: The more the merrier.:d:
 
Originally from Anambra, Nigeria, Amobi moved to Huntsville, Alabama when he was 12 years old. After only spending two weeks in middle school, he tested into the 9th grade. He first started playing football as a sophomore, knowing virtually nothing about the game before his high school coach suggested he go play Madden NFL football to learn. By the time he was a senior, he won first-team All-State honors as both a defensive lineman and offensive lineman.

His nickname is "You Know".

Check out his latest interview, Okoye officially introduced in Houston, on Texans TV.

That is weak. I'd love to see you in front of a dozens of reporters and cameramen during the biggest event of your life. I'm sure you would be Mr. Smooth.

Considering his age and the situation, I thought Amobi handled himself well. Extremely well.
 
You both should get off your high horses, it was a joke. HaHaHa, you know joke. Damn.

PowerfulDragon - Try being 19 and in a warzone. Been there, done that. Much bigger stages then a Texans Press Conf.

the point i was trying to make is that 19 is young. you're not ready for much of what life has to throw at you at that point in your life.. he hasn't been in houston for 24 hours and we're already making fun of him.

Say good bye to TJ--I think the Okoye pick all but finalizes that.

Yup, TJ is done; and it'a shame. He ahs the physical talent to be a really good player, just never showed the desire of want to. I think I'm more disappionted in TJ then I was about Carr failing...oh well.

Bring on the Imperial March :hothboy:
