Let's talk some Orakpo

MTK · 08-14-2009, 11:25 AM

Seems like Rak was impressive, and I've read positive things about Jarmon as well.

I don't want to jump the gun here but we could really be set at DE for a long time with these guys if they pan out as expected.

For those that watched the game fill me in on how these guys looked coming off the edge.

From what I remember (fading in and out of sleep most of the game), both Rak and Jarmon were able to get decent pressure coming off the edge. Very good for their first taste of NFL action.

Quick. Very quick. I think we have a couple of standouts here.

Orakpo is going to terrorize QB's this season. As far as I could tell, he created pressure every time they rushed him. He would have gotten to Flacco on one particular play if not for a blatant hold.

Orakpo was held almost every time when he tried to rush the passer. He has a very quick first step and doesn't slow down. The only way to stop him was to hold him.

Jarmon looked alright, but not as good as Rak. Rak was was awesome for his first NFL Game.

Exactly....was pretty funny seeing Baltimore trying to block him. Orakpo is a beast, hopefully he sees plenty of time getting after the QB.

I thought Jarmon played well, for a 3rd round pick next year...he could end up being a steal.

The future looks much brighter for the DE position with these two guys on the roster.

I think Theismann compared Orakpo to Ware last night. Of course, it is Theismann talking, so take it for what it's worth.

Imagine how good Orakpo will look when Albert Haynesworth is in their taking double teams

Ouch for opposing QBs.

I think we're going to see a lot of holding calls in our favor too.

I wasn't able to watch the game, but I watched the highlights on the Redskins website, and there seemed to be no shortage of Steeler passing plays in which Batch had a pocket large enough to fit a dining room table and enough time to throw a tea party. Haynesworth did play in the first quarter correct? Again, I only saw highlights, but from what I did see there was very little pressure from Haynesworth, Rak and Co.

That really wasn't the case, there was pressure all night long

Monty was in real fast. I think Haynesworth played the first 4 plays before they pulled him. Then it was just spot duty for a couple more plays.

The pressure was there from the front four... although I will say the blitzing didn't seem to work very well. Looks like we are at our best with the 4 down linemen bringing the pressure and maybe a delayed safety or LB blitz.

Definitely glad to hear that. Thanks.
