Re: Meet the Beast: Brian Orakpo
This might work. Now if our O can score 16 points a game we should win with the D we now have.

Re: Meet the Beast: Brian Orakpo
Were we interested in Sanchez? Sure. But how interested. We were NOT going to give up the farm for him. Call it a smokescreen or whatever you want, but the idea that we were VERY interested in him, and that Snyder would go to ridiculous lengths to get him, played to our advantage.

Re: Meet the Beast: Brian Orakpo
At this point I could really care less how much of the Sanchez talk was a bluff or truth, truth is we'll never know for sure... all that matters is we addressed a key need along the DE and didn't have to trade up to do it.

Re: Meet the Beast: Brian Orakpo
HELLO REDSKIN FANS!!!! I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief today. Perhaps our front office is starting to get it after all. I thought the DE from Tenn was a little better than Orakpo but I'm not going to complain about this pick. Will filled a huge need and this guy sort of reminds my of James Harrison coming off the edge. My only concern is can he hold up at DE 265lbs at DE? But someone mentioned that he's got the frame to put on some weight, which I agree with. Dude looks like a tank. And is he a better fit in a 3-4? But I've got confidence in Blache and co. Our defense now looks more like one that's going to get sacks and create turnovers.

Re: Meet the Beast: Brian Orakpo
Does anyone know if they are doing a presser today to introduce Orakpo? I thought I heard them say something along these lines, but I don't see anything in the Redskins website.

Re: Meet the Beast: Brian Orakpo
Accidentally hit "d" when I saw the thread grade the skins draft...I thought this poll was for that....outside of orapko, I was quite a bit disappointed.
We definately needed Oline youth and depth. I do like orapko...but I am concerned about his size a bit...I'd hate to have 2 small ends pushed around in the run game again. Thats what hurt us last year
