Every new player is always more hype than production, no way all 3 live up to hype...certainly not 2 rookies, Jarmon likely wont play much at all, Orapko will be attacked as a LB...Haynesworth is solid but is not used to who he is playing with, nor the scheme...so if they start out the way they ended the season and end up top 3 or so, they will be top 10 but not top 5.
Remember our D was technically top 4 last year in yards, however, they blew several games at the end of the year wearing down and giving up long game sealing drives...I just don't believe they hype until I see it

Our LBs aren't the strongest. Springs was hurt most of last year. He did play good against T.O. tho. We have basically the same linebackers besides Marcus Washington being gone - He also stayed injured. Jarmon and Orakpo are big improvements to the old timers we keep holding on to for the D-line. I agree with the Rak at linebacker statement. they should stick him back on the D-line and stop trying to make him into a hybrid player. I don't think the scheme will stop Haynesworth from being effective. I think that statement is idiotic. If they were top 5 last year why do you think they would drop all the way to 10. Its possible. But we added better D-lineman.
To end this its only one preseason game.
