London Calling: Two Games Under His Belt, Obada Gaining Confidence
http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/2...games-under-his-belt-obada-gaining-confidence
OXNARD, Calif. - There is something about Efe Obada that is just so likeable. Obviously he’s a compatriot of mine so that helps, but there are so many other reasons why everyone who meets him seems to instantly take to him. He doesn’t even try to hide his enthusiasm for the game of American football, and told me about playing at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday night.
“It was amazing. Everything is still so new to me, so I’m loving every bit of it.”
After seeming a little disappointed following the Chargers game, Obada was in great spirits this time around.
“It was a better day. I’m not going to look on the negative side of things, I’m going to take the positives. It’s an amazing experience, I’m enjoying it, I’m happy. I’m in love with the journey. I’m in love with the learning. It’s addictive.”
Other than one play where he failed to recognise a pulling guard and got pinned outside, Obada didn’t seem to have any bad plays. In fact, the majority of his plays were actually very good. On two occasions, he was left unblocked on play-action passes, and both times, he recognised it, closed on the ball, and forced the quarterback to throw away, only a couple of steps away from a sack both times...
