Oweh wants to ‘dominate’

Outside linebacker Odafe Oweh’s expectations for his second year in Baltimore are simple.

“Just dominate more,” he said. “Finish. Be there more for my team in terms of making the plays in situations that we need. Being more aware in terms of things going around me.”

A healthier shoulder should help. Oweh underwent surgery in late January to address a lingering issue, and he wore a harness at practice. He was a limited participant Wednesday, but he said he’s hoping to build up his shoulder’s strength “day by day, and I’ll be out there soon.”

“It kind of bothered me a little bit” last season, Oweh said. “But coming from Penn State, growing up where I’ve grown up, you learn to play through stuff like that and not even think about it until the end. But it definitely got a little bit more kind of hectic toward the end of the season. But I’m good now. We’re straight.”

Despite missing the final two games of the season with a foot injury, Oweh finished his rookie season with five sacks and 15 quarterback hits. After learning “things I didn’t even know I didn’t even know,” the former first-round pick enters Year 2 ready to make a leap.
