People can say what they want about the FO and the talent level of this team but after listening to Campbell after all he has gone through and now hearing Orakpo, I am proud to have these guys representing our franchise. And I'm not even including London, Chris Samuels, Andre Carter, and the list keeps going. It is a class group.

You know, in a lot of ways I feel Orakpo and Carter are alike . . . early first round draft picks, speed rushers with strength, physical specimen, possibly lining him up at OLB, etc.

I don't mean to draw the comparison to imply that they should just keep him at end or anything.

I just think it's awesome, I think with Orakpo and Haynesworth, Carter is going to have a great year. I can just see Carter getting pumped up by Orakpo's presence especially, both on the field and in the weightroom. I think it coud make for some very constructive friendly competition, and that the unit is going to be playing inspired this season, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the younger DT's improves enough with this talent around that they oust Griffin by the end of he season.

I am extremely excited about finally having a solid DL . . . and with Barnes rounding out the secondary, this D is not only sick as hell, but it has some talented depth.
