Orakpo and Carriker Done for Season

[ethat001]

Agree w posts above. Rak is great, but we overvalue him. I'd bet Robby J and C-Dubb fill in well. Shanny has actually developed decent depth, unless previous decades.

Couple of points:
1) Our defensive problem has been SECONDARY, not D-line/LB. Our front seven was full-force for most of the past 2 games, and the QBs just threw quickly to uncovered WR. Unless we strengthen our secondary so they can cover for THREE TO FOUR SECONDS, then who cares whether we have Orakpo?

2) Does anyone think Shanahan / Redskins medical personnel rushed Orakpo back to the field? Perhaps taking more time off to recover would have helped prevent this - he already hurt himself in the preseason and we only gave him a few weeks off.

3) What the heck defensive scheme was Haslett running? Zone my a$$. I digress..
