Don't try to compare the redskins 2012 record to 2013 and put that on Orakpo as the reason we won 10 or lost 13. It doesn't make any sense. There are way to many factors that have nothing to do with Rak. I would argue if he was healthy all of 2012 we would have won a couple more games.

The guys back.

Definitely agree.

He's always played with a high motor, I don't buy the "he was just playing hard for a contract" BS.
