In regards to the DL question, it's kinda loaded. We've taken a lot of DEs high and transitioned them, somewhat poorly, to LBs. When Orakpo was a rookie he got almost all his sacks from the 4 point stance. We have some great DEs on this team, they just got moved to LB.

You watch, when Orakpo leaves he will play well for his new team. That will tell you something about the kind of coaching that goes on around Redskins Park.

I think it depends on what position he plays. I think he's a mediocre standup LB but an excellent all-around DE. If he goes to a 4-3 team he'll have a big year - in my opinion.

I'm still sad we didn't go after Schwartz after he was fired by the Lions. Great defensive mind. Just look at what he's doing in Buffalo.

Wouldn't have minded seeing Schwartz come here and go back to the 4-3. He's got the horses on the d-line in Buffalo.

Synder and et al are not familiar with him like they are with Haslett!
