On Brian Orakpo and holding

The pressure that makes the quaterback move in the pocket should allow other rushers to have sack opportunities. Rak is doing a fine job, to think you can teach a player how to shed a block when he is being held on to seems a bit much too ask. Pressure from ANYONE else would make these non-calls moot.

Excellent point. For all the attention Orakpo is drawing they must be ignoring someone
