I hope he keeps this up and wins DROY. NFL.com - Rookie of the Week (http://www.nfl.com/partner?partnerType=rookies) Lotus 11-10-2009, 02:15 PM Cool. Go Rak! diehard 11-10-2009, 04:46 PM He hasn't been abused in coverage every week has he? 2BIG2BSKINNY 11-10-2009, 04:59 PM He hasn't been abused in coverage every week has he? He has not been used that much lately in the LB role as the last weeks Cris Wilson has stepped in and got burned... I Like Wilson there he just needs to learn the position... He does not have the pass rush ability Rak has!!! A very bright spot on a dissapointing season. EXAMPLE: GOAL LINE DEFENSE VS ATL! WILSON GIVES UP TD TO GONZALES! dmek25 11-10-2009, 05:07 PM why not have a LINBACKER play that position? instead of trying to convert all these guys. i feel better with a old, broken down M.W. at linebacker. then i do with all these d- lineman. and congrats to the big O hooskins 11-10-2009, 05:31 PM because it is the quickest way for him to get the most snaps. Plus it was a glaring need. He will eventually play full time at end. mooby 11-10-2009, 06:11 PM I love Orakpo but there's no way he wins. Josh Freeman got a win for a winless team in his first career start and managed to throw for 2 td's and run for another against only one pick against a pretty good Packer team. mlmdub130 11-10-2009, 07:41 PM he is leading rookies with sacks at 5.5 he has a good chance to be d rookie of the year if he keeps it up and gets pass coverage down a little better, it het gets an int it's a lock for droy CultBrennan59 11-11-2009, 02:04 PM he is leading rookies with sacks at 5.5 he has a good chance to be d rookie of the year if he keeps it up and gets pass coverage down a little better, it het gets an int it's a lock for droy Supposedly Cushing at Houston is in clear contention to win that, as well as Jarius Byrd of the Bills who has 7 int's. mlmdub130 11-11-2009, 02:37 PM Supposedly Cushing at Houston is in clear contention to win that, as well as Jarius Byrd of the Bills who has 7 int's. i completly forgot about byrd, he is probably the front runner, i think orakpo has a better chance than cushing though, if he keeps it up he should have double digit sacks, but he would have to have an int and improve in the pass defense to win
