Another Sunday brings another update on our former Sooners playing in the league. Unfortunately, we are down a man this week after the Patriots released Casey Walker early in the week. However, Jalen Saunders has now landed on the Saints active roster so that’s definitely good news for the well-traveled rookie. Week 12 was highlighted by quality performances from Demontre Hurst, DeMarco Murray, Gerald McCoy, Tress Way & Aaron Colvin who finally got to play in his first game of what will hopefully be a long and successful NFL career.

Damn, I missed Colvin.
How much did he play?
I didn’t get to watch but he made one tackle so he was at least in the game for a little while.
I was at the game and Colvin was in quite a bit
Did he look game ready?
I must admit it was deep in the first half when I even thought to look for him but once I figured out his number I noticed him in on quite a few plays
When will Frank be off of suspension?
Eligible to return on Dec. 15
It sure would be nice to see more OU offensive playmakers getting some NFL productivity (either where they are now or with another team that may give them a legitimate shot). Seems like most of our OU guys are in the trenches.
D. Murray and A. Peterson (maybe) will have to carry the load for OU football runners in the NFL at “present time”. You are right I counted 7 players who are listed as lineman for the big league.
D Williams with Miami is not doing too shabby. when he gets his turn, he is showing up, but still is not grabbing the job.
It would be sweet if Demarco could break Eric Dickerson’s record. 1354 yards so far with 5 more games to go in the regular season.
If he could put together a couple of 200 yard games he will get close.
He is averaging over 100 yrds a game, but I agree, he needs a couple of beast mode runs.
Madu and Simmons for the Tiger-Cats in the CFL. They’re going to the Grey Cup.
nice
How did Colvin look? Was he playing at corner or just special teams?
both, I believe
Did Trent Williams get hurt?
yes
