Ockimey; finally GBY has a shining star on defence!

[Green Bay Bombers]

it must be remembered this was an acquisition from HON... perhaps the greatest scout of defensive talent in the league... he's been everything LIGHTS OUT since he's played for the BEAST... er, um the Bombers...

S Ron Ockimey that got my vote i really thought this guy could be a play maker and in the big trade between gb and hon he was the one player i had a hard time giving up.

[Green Bay Bombers]

... if y'all haven't witnessed that, you should... Vince Lombardi at the chalkboard drawing it up... AWESOME... and Horning Starr Thurston et al with the WRs and TE chipping in... you'd BETTER get it right or ur GONE! Y'all have to go back and take a look at that clip... PRICELESS!

What about Portland DT TJ Gholston? No. 3 in sacks from the nose tackle position. was the reason portland's defense was no. 1 against the run, forcing everyone to pass. combined rushing yards against portland only exceeded 1,000 yards in the last game of the season.
