I wonder -- suppose Philip Daniels goes out again (knock on wood), and Wynn is not on our roster because we have too many DEs. I'm assuming they would start Orakpo at LDE, right? Or would Jarmon get the nod?

I know this wasn't an option for him, but I think Jarmon would have developed faster by playing his Sr. year in the SEC as opposed to not playing much with the Redskins as a rookie.

Anyway, Orakpo kinda, sorta already IS our starting LE, but nominally, they are calling him a linebacker.

When the TE is on the right side, the LDE tradionally lines up on his outside shoulder, but in our base scheme, we've got an extra guy over there to prevent teams from getting to the edge on us in the running game. That's the Daniels/Wynn/Jarmon role.
