Is a God defender better than just a good defender?...I can see more on field miracles perhaps.

Book of Zorn, Chapter 2, Verse 13.
And yea, a player will come who will part offensive lines, stop footballs mid-flight, turn solid QB's into water, and raise a moribund franchise from the dead.

2 days 1 hour and 30 mins til kickoff!

We need a "playmaker." Orakpo could be that guy.

if blache uses him right and exploits orakpos strengths and hides his weaknesses..kinda like what lebeau does with james harrison of the steelers or polamalu..then ya orakpo can be that playmaker guy

Redskins' Orakpo no regular rookie - Washington Times

Warning: you may come away feeling like you want to see Orakpo kick a little ...

Cool story within the story. Jeez it's impossible to not get stoked about the season reading stuff like that.

...I really, really hope that Blache has kept the schemes very vanilla for preseason, in fact i hope he's been holding everything back to a degree, and come sunday we see a firestorm against the G-men. Our defense has not been terribly impressive in preseason and it's got me a bit worried...i want to see us flip the switch on the opposing line!

In yesterday's Redskins-Giants game, I didn't hear Orakpo's name called but just a couple of times. Did I miss something, or rather, didn the sports announcers miss something?

I didnt notice him at all, except 1 play early in the game when he kinda "rushed" Manning.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Not really. Rak wasn't that effective. He didn't make any real plas other than a QB presssure. Maybe he is better suited playing end than SLB.

Orakpo Height: 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) Weight: 260 lb (118 kg) a future OLB not DE ... Rumor has been he can not stop the RUN!!! Maybe he will be better in a 3-4 later in his carrear....

Someone who can't stop the run is better off as a 4-3 DE than a 4-3 OLB. 4-3 OLBs are chiefly responsible for the run. 4-3 DE's are far enough away from the play that you can compensate with a physical corner or safety.

Is it too early to say bust?
