The Redskins see him as an impact talent. The other teams that he was taking visits with saw him as a valuable role player.

We'll see who is right. If he gets 6-8 sacks from a 3-4 DE position, that's a big impact.

As you know, it's not just the sacks. It's the QB hits and the hurries. It's being disruptive. We desperately needed to get some inside pressure on the QB and now I think we'll get that from Hatcher. Lord knows, he has given our OLines and QBs fits over the years.

And there are other benefits to this signing, as well. For example, to me, one of the key things that would make keeping Orakpo worth the money was to improve our inside pass rush so Brian could be more effective. Now we've done that.
