Samuels high on Orakpo

Samuels and Fletcher like what they see from O-SAK-PO . Portis " I have 5 more good years " . Eagles LB Bradley might miss 2009 .... http://www.hogshaven.com/

So far so good for Orakpo. I wonder though if that's as much about Orakpo's abilities as it is the O-Line's struggles. Still, I think Orakpo is going to be a great addition

And it's Samuels man...Samuels.

Sounds like the d-line is just nasty. Typically the OL just needs some time to get up to speed this time of year.

one of the notes said that Blache also will line up Haynesworth at DE for a few snaps.

I am so looking forward to the season. Even Preseason to see the new D players.

I know it's early for this rook and all that good stuff, yea never played a down. But, I think this kids college career is going to carry over to the pro's. I think he is going to be an animal, right away and for many years to come!

This kid is gonna be fun to watch.

When Samuels compliments someone the way he did Orakpo, that's big.

On a note related to that story, Stewart Bradley, Eagles MLB, tore his ACL and is gone for the year. The Iggles defense might have less bite this year.

Sounds like Orakpo is doing real well. And it seems like we'll finally have that monsterous D-Line to help generate sacks and turnovers thanks to Orakpo and Haynesworth.

I'm anxieously awaiting this season to begin. It'll probably be one of those season again where we have to rely on the defense to win games.

It's sad to hear about the Eagles MLB Bradley. Very unfortunate for them but not for us!

GO SKINS!!

Yeah the Oline is at a major disadvantage at this point of camp for a number of reasons. One major reason is that you don't run very many full contact smashmouth running plays at this early point in camp.

It's not like we are running a lots of series that include seven running plays and just three pass attempts. We are a better run blocking line and if you don't have the opportunity to inflict damage in the running game the dline hasn't had to pay any kind of price and therefore they can just pin their ears back and attack.

Things will balance whenever we start running it down their throats.

Hopefully.

I wondered about this too. Hopefully Samuels isn't that much slower.
