This was definitely part of it. Samuel's was having the devil's own day with Orakpo and Haynesworth was giving two men all they could handle every time. Andre Carter was also coming free a couple of times.

In terms of Campbell's performance, I'm totally chill. I think he's the best QB we have. I just don't think he had a paricularly good day, even when you take the O-line into account. Remember that the pass rushers run past and play continues, so even when the O-line got blown it was still basically a 7 on 7 drill.

I consider that to be outstanding news, especially the Orakpo part! I know the OL struggled. But the D is always ahead of the O on the first day in pads and we know folks like Samuels will get it together. To me, the salient point of your helpful description is that the D was so dominant - not just good, as expected - but dominant.

So this means the Orakpo was drilling from DE?

He may have lined up at other spots as well but he was definitely at RE on some plays. (It's hard to watch everything from ground level 40 yards away with Christie Cooley 10 feet in front of you with friends to boot). At one point against shotgun by the offense, the front four from L to R was Carter Daniels Haynesworth Orakpo. You may recall that Daniels played tackle some on 3rd down situations 2 seasons ago and appparently Blache is at least considering doing that again. He certainly isn't too small for it. He's still the biggest guy out there. Maybe Heyer, Dockery and Williams are in his zip code, but Daniels is just humongous.

Great...then the rest of the league's D-lines (except for the NJ Giants) will be a piece of cake.

Our o-line gets to practice against one of the best defenses in the NFL...that's beneficial, or it should be.

That's a positive. The problem is that the D lines in Philly and Dallas are very good too.

Good compared to the rest of the league, but not to ours.
