Brian Orakpo = Beast

[SC Skins Fan]

I mean, its obvious, but I'll say it anyway; Haynesworth is the biggest reason that Orakpo and Carter have the sack numbers that they do. Obviously both are talented guys, both were high picks, but neither would be enjoying the type of success that they are this season without the big guy up front. Orakpo has gotten some nice pressure, while remaining a liability in coverage (though it does seem that they have tried to use him less in that role in recent weeks ... but that is anecdotal). I can't think of an instance when he made an absolutely "wow" play (though I am very likely overlooking something). He is solid, will have a good chance of winning DROY because of his sack numbers, but the "great pick" remains #92. Haynesworth is the guy that OC's have to gameplan around, Carter and Orakpo pick up the residuals.
