I love how a thread about two defensive players being out for the season is now a thread about whether Aldrick Robinson has enough speed. Nice.

Orakpo was hurt because Robinson runs a slow 4.4. Discuss.

Maybe Orakpo should've been the one running the 4.4?

Re: Orakpo and Carriker Done for Season

With all the hoopla about Rak, Carriker is a huge hit to our run defense. Did anyone see our run defense yesterday? I love Rak but he is the 3rd best LB on this team IMO, its a loss and nobody you sign or replace him with will get you double digit sack numbers. Lorenzo could be an option or the rookie Kennan, Carter off the street as somebody already mentioned. You could move Kerrigan over to that side on obvious blitzing downs. We still have options but can't afford another LB injury the rest of the season. Losing Carriker was a bigger blow because nobody we have comes close to being a good run stopper like him. Jenkins has been a huge disappointment after all the intitial hoopla.

Re: Orakpo and Carriker Done for Season

I think people just talk on here to make it seem like they know what's going on lol.. Robison lacks speed? LOL. He drops one ball, and people cal for his head.. Hankerson almost dropped a WIDE OPEN ball.. Imagine if he did...

A. Robinson is our fastest WR. He's a huge burner.. He almost broke it on a hitch route against the Rams. I wish I could find the video where he caught that stopping route in the preseason and totally vanished to the end zone.

He's a late round pick for WR who is turning in solid performances when given the chance.

Robinson is just a scapegoat. A lot of shouldas, couldas and wouldas today, it seems.

Re: Orakpo and Carriker Done for Season

I have just had a major wave of optimism. The Redskins rite now are a team with what appears to be a great qb and a handful of weapons around him, capable of putting up big points and have a below average defense. Sounds like the Saints, Packers, and Patriots. We have not even played a home game yet - and our offense has played well in two loud ass domes. Lets see what happens at Fedex - I will be there with my iphone and tapatalk app in hand! HTTR

Part of being a Redskins fan and has been for the last twenty years. One week we are over the moon the next it is time to cut people, fire coaches and change the playbook. Football season really is like a soap opera.

I don't think the Redskins have a doom and gloom week after we/you/anybody on this board has a really bad work day or week!

Re: Orakpo and Carriker Done for Season

Any chance one of the roster spots go to Cooley considering the lack of TE production.

Seems like the TEs have been busy blocking seeing as especially the RT side of the line (I'm looking at you Polumbus, letting Chris Long bend you over all day yesterday) has been basically inept. Paul is mainly a special teams beast and Paulsen showed a flash of promise last week in regards to catching but is mainly a blocking TE. Davis... I dunno where he's been lately but I'm hoping he starts showing up in the coming weeks.

No real need for Cooley right now.
