I think Orakpo fully understands the situation, he's just speaking the truth and saying what's on his mind, that's all. I guarantee you if these guys are talking publicly about this, what they're saying behind closed doors is far worse.
But to an earlier point, myself and others have stated, this has now become a distraction for this football team. This is not some media hype or fan obsession blown out of proportion and the players haven't completely tuned it out either. The obvious loser in all of this is Albert Haynesworth. His legacy and respect, or lack thereof, around the league will be damaged for good. He can wave Canton bye bye. And by the way he's been playing lately, God, I don't see how this guy makes it to another Pro-Bowl.
But Shanahan shares some of the blame too. Not for Haynesworth's knuckleheadeness, but this tough guy don't tread on me attitude. I swear, we've gone from one extreme to the other with our last two coaches. One guy was so soft he couldn't give a half time speech. The other is such a hard ass players have rules about where to park their cars (or least that's the word on the street). Success is somewhere in the middle and Shanny, for all of his success in the past, has done a miserable job managing one prima dona. I wish we would cut the guy already.
