Yeah I agree. That seems to be the problem I have with this defense though. I dont like how we have a run stopping DE at LDE when other teams that run the 4-3 have pass rushers on both sides.

The defense ranked 4th so its not a big deal but the more pressure you get the more sacks and turnovers you get. Haynesworth will help out alot but I wish we just put Orakpo at DE to go with Haynesworth, Griffin, and Carter on the DL.

I really hope they arent thinking about cutting Chris Wilson. He has alot of potenial. If he leaves its going to be another Chris Clemons deal all over again.

Yeah and hopefully it works out if thats the way they go. Im just afraid placing Orakpo at LB on 1st and 2nd down will hurt his development at DE. Id rather just roll with Orakpo at DE and Wilson at LB.

I see why the team wants Orakpo at LB because we have Daniels/Wynn at LDE but I think they are filling a hole instead of looking at the long term succes of their 1st round pick.

If I drafted a player in the 1st round the last thing id want to do is play him out of position. This is how id set up the front 7 (it wont happen though )....

LDE Andre Carter
LDT Cornelius Griffin
RDT Albert Haynesworth
RDE Brian Orakpo
SLB Chris Wilson
MLB London Fletcher
WLB Rocky McIntosh
