Re: Orakpo / Lavar Arrington Compare & Contrast

What I was saying to compare & contrast is what they do on the field, not off of it.

Orakpo will play both DE and LB for the Skins, just like Lavar did. I thought Lavar was much better at DE (His best season was when he played it primarily - 11 sacks), but we needed him at LB, and he whined about playing with one hand down....

Orakpo, they are saying, will play LB on 1st & 2nd down some times, but DE on all 3rd downs... just was hoping people would compare their PLAYING STYLES and what they bring to a game as LB/DEs...

To say the only thing they have in common is skins color... pretty lame.
Do you have a link to that information? In this link, Zorn says something very different. He describes Orakpo as a hands-down DE and is very vague about any LB role.
