Are you buying into the Shanaplan?

You can also consider that the defense has "buckled down" partly due to Jackson heady play. He is a smart player.

He is a good role player, I do not think he can be a long term starter though. A single interception is better than a sack. But a consistent pass rusher through an entire is better than a linebacker who has three interceptions and makes flashy plays. I still think we should keep them both but to think that Jackson will replace Orakpo's impact vs. the run and vs. the pass is far fetched at best. There is a reason the pass defense is so inept, and a huge reason is lack of any pass rush. Redskins have improved slightly but we just improved to terrible to bad. It is not like the Redskins all of a sudden are a top tier defense with Jackson's presence. Redskins are still a well below average defense and Orakpo and Carriker's presence on the d-line has proven to be essential to the success of the defense.
