Was this the guy that was talking trash about the Packers after their 2010 regular season game? This guy is a clown. Laughing

He does have 100% Medical Clearance to practice, but it was his MCL, but that injury at 31 years old I just don't know if he can be the same. Luckily he didn't rely on supreme quickness or athletic ability.

Another thing to note in this is that the Falcons wasted(err..used) a 5th round pick on another blocking FB. So there was little to no chance they could bring him back after spending a 5th round pick on a blocking FB. Sorry to type that twice, but even now I'm still trying to grasp why on earth the Falcons drafted a couple of players as high as they did. Oh well.

Back on topic, Ovie is a hammer (actually his nickname was "the drill") don't ask me why but that's what the fans voted him, and he rolled with it for about 2 weeks lol. He's just absolutely nasty in a power scheme (to answer that question) Atlanta hasn't been using ZBS for a long long time now. I can assure you that Jackson would love to have Ovie in front leading the way, that'd be a seriously bruising ground attack.

Guy is a class act, very sad to see him go but this is business and a necessary move. He had like a 3m cap hit, is 31 and came from a MCL.

I bet he finds a new place soon, great player and a guy every organization would love to have.

Injuries and money. Sad day for some Falcon fans. I was a fan of his too. Hope he latches on somewhere and continues being successful

This smells like a Pioli signing. We have a giant hole at FB right now unless we plan on playing Hillis there (unlikely) and if Ovie's willing to sign a one year, "prove it" kind of deal, I see him being a Chief.

Not sure if that's what I want to happen or not, but it just seems like it's a likely scenario.

Ovie is a boss.

I will miss him, I feel if only he wasn't injured last year that he could still be on the team, I think if we had him we would have been better running the ball last year, which would have made us see him more useful.

I hope he clears fully medically, and latches onto a contender.. guy deserves it he is a great guy.

I liked the idea of one of the guys on the first page who said he would welcome Ovie to the Texans.. I really think the Texans are on the verge of something great down in Houston, and I root for the Texans when it comes to the AFC, I liked them when they were first an expansion team.. I rooted for the guys like Kailee Wong and Jamie Sharper. I think Ovie would be a total asset for the Texans, blocking in front of Foster and Tate.. Ovie did wonders for Michael Turners career, I feel like he would be at least able to add something to an already dynamic running game that the Texans posses.
