Any interest in CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu?

If the Steelers didn't already have so many small corners I'd say go for it.

But big corners are needed to play vs big receivers.

 

"Yesterday, the Dolphins were awarded CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu on waivers. 3 other teams tried to claim him, per source: Saints, Bills & Steelers."

according to Field Yates, from ESPN.com

 

Well I wish Ifo luck.

I also wish he gets married to a woman with a long ass last name and adds it to his own.

Maybe he could marry an NFL player's cousin.

Ifo Ekpre-Olomu-Biakabutuka.
Ifo Ekpre-Olomu-Roethlisberger
Ifo Ekpre-Olomu-Hoomanawanui

Etc.

Then he could demand it all gets fit on the back of a jersey. It would be hilarious.

If he was Ekprw-Olomu-Roethlisberger he would be called Eeyore (spelling) for sure E-O-R.

I'll stop now.

 

I'm trying to find a way to sing this to the tune of "old McDonald"...

 

I'm glad the Steelers didn't get him, we don't need a injured 5'9 CB.

 

Singing "Ifo-Ekpre-Olomu" to the tune of old McDonald makes me bummed that we didn't sign him. That, and the fact that he's 5'9, can dunk a basketball (post surgery), and has 1st/2nd round talent. Would have been a good signing considering we haven't seen our 2016 slot corner play a down yet.

 

I think he could have made a very good slot CB . When I look at the NFL the job of the #2 CB has got a lot tougher over the years . The smaller CB'S used to be able to thrive as a #2 CB now only the great small ones can . The reasons are the QB'S clocks have got so much faster . The route combos are filled with rub routes and pick plays. Then when you have #2 WR'S who are a lot bigger and a lot faster than they used to be coupled with the 2 elements above a Team really needs at least 2 #1 CB'S .
