All things offseason discussion part II

If Rak gets the same number of rush opportunities that other top pass rushers get, no reason he can't put up some big numbers.

I think we've seen a large enough of a sample size to know that Rak isn't Aldon Smith or Robert Quinn. Maybe the new OLB coach helps him develop more pass rush moves.

I don't think it's about moves as it is opportunities. It's been well documented he doesn't rush as often as the other big sack number guys in the league.

...but when your new head coach pretty much says he wants to see more from you as a player. That statement said everything to me in my opinion. He believes the guy is too talented to be performing at the level he is when he could do so much more. Didn't Smoot say something along the line that Rakpo doesn't think he needs to work on his game? (or something to that effect)
