Wink Martindale Praises Odafe Oweh’s Strong Debut
“What’s he on schedule for now, a 17-sack season?” Martindale said.
Oweh is far more than just a situational sack artist. He defends the run well, with an ability to blow plays up in the backfield with his quickness off the snap. He has the upper body strength to set the edge while defending the run, and that should improve as he gains more experience.
Oweh played 58 percent of the defensive snaps Monday (46 snaps), and that playing time is likely to climb if he continues to improve each week.
