I am thinking Nick Williams, Kupp will be back soon.

Fair enough. I'm just hoping for something out of him at this point. And, I agree with ActionJack above. Nick Williams will be let go when Kupp is healthy so that frees up a spot for Obo.

Oh believe me, I want him to come in and make a difference badly. I just don't see NFL caliber pass rush moves/ability yet from him. i think he will develop to that level. I guess i am tempering my "hopes" and want to be pleasantly surprised.

We have to get more consistent production and pressure from the edges somehow, someway - be that a new player, different scheme tweaks, or both.

I don't have high expectations. But in the interests of a balanced view, here's just a bit of stuff:

My thing with Obo is even if he's not great, isn't he better than what we have now?

Which to my eyes is next to nothing on edge rush.

Or is the concern that he will somehow miss blocking assignments, forget what a runner looks like, and leave a giant gap on his side of the field?

Update:

https://www.therams.com/news/mcvay-prov ... -okoronkwo

Outside linebacker Ogbonnia Okoronkwo started the regular season on the physically unable to perform list. He’s been back at practice for over a week now, but given the way Los Angeles has been holding its practices — with a walk-thru instead of a full session on Wednesdays — there just haven’t been many reps to evaluate. Because of that, McVay said the team will likely use the full 21-day window to make a decision on activating Okoronkwo to the 53-man roster.

“[T]hat’s kind of the trajectory that we're on right now,” McVay said. “Really, he's done a nice job with the things that he can control. The thing that's interesting about it is being able to do some individual things, but because of the way that we're practicing at this point in the season, being mindful of especially some of the guys that are naturally just banged up through seven weeks, he's had limited opportunities to really show how he's doing. But he is making progress. It's been good to have him out there. He's got a great demeanor and we're seeing good things. But as far as any sort of updates or changes, there's nothing on that front right now.”

With that said (McVay), I am just not expecting much if anything from him this season - maybe late going into the playoffs which would be great. Hope I/we get pleasantly surprised by him this season.
