I think at times Orakpo is a liability.

Perhaps there is a bit of truth in what you say. I think Jackson can probably cover better than Orakpo. He can also get to the QB just as ferociously. People tend to forget that both of these men are natural DEs so they both are impressive linebackers. While Orakpo is the slightly better pass rusher of the two, he still needs to work on his coverage skills come next season.
