Comments on: Okung done for the year with torn pectoral muscle http://blog.thenewstribune.com/seahawks/2011/12/02/okung-done-for-the-year-with-torn-pectoral-muscle/ Where there is no off season Thu, 23 May 2013 20:11:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: BobbyK http://blog.thenewstribune.com/seahawks/2011/12/02/okung-done-for-the-year-with-torn-pectoral-muscle/#comment-264985 BobbyK Sat, 03 Dec 2011 05:27:06 +0000 http://blog.thenewstribune.com/seahawks/?p=12400#comment-264985 The positives are that this line looks to be a strength moving into 2012:

LT Okung
LG Gallery (with former #1 pick Carpenter as an understudy as he recovers)
C Unger
RG Moffitt (with some quality depth)
RT Maybe he’s on our roster and we won’t need to go here in FA or the draft.

No matter what, I’m more confident in our offensive line moving forward than I have been in any individual season in over a half decade.

It’s really too bad that common sense alludes some fools as much as it does.

Okung didn’t tear his pec while blocking. He was hurt by a dirty player throwing him to the ground while holding his arm. How much money he makes has nothing to do with it. He has been worth every penny this season as far as I am concerned.

If you are a Hawks fan you should be wishing him a speedy recovery because he has shown a lot this year.

He may have had an ankle sprain in the pre-season but he has done an outstanding job this year, and could have likely finished it out without the blatant move from Cole. Actually am proud of him for wanting to go after Cole after the game, torn pec and all. Love the attitude!

I agree with seahawk44 the whole thing p*sses me off. We noticed Okung being thrown to the ground and the camera promptly moving away from it. Followed by no call (big surprise there). Cole had better be fined big time for this.

I was really looking forward to seeing Okung handle Peppers again too…damn.

Even if he has the surgery tomorrow, it will be early June at 6 months.

I am a very positive fan that believed the team could run the table and get the 6th seed at 9-7. I do not believe that can happen now. Okung is vital to every play the offense runs and was playing his best football. The team is down to NO depth now for the final 4 games if something else happens to one of the o-linemen.

This truly pisses me off. Okung was just following through on his blocking assignment away from the play, and a frustrated defensive player does a blatant wrestling move on him while the officials are not looking. After that happened, I would have liked to see the entire O-Line run a play and ALL squash block Cole! Did anybody on the team see it happen and retaliate in any way? I hope the Eagles are on the schedule next season.
