Is there room for Orakpo and Rob Jackson?

Maybe I am crazy, but I see Orkapo and Kerrigan excelling at playing as down linemen, Jackson playing great as a coverage LB... so how about the 4-3?

Starters:

DE: Kerrigan, Orkapo
DT: Cofield, Jenkins
LB: Jackson (O), Fletcher*(M), Riley (O)
S: Draft, Draft :(
CB: Hall, Wilson


* - If Fletcher retires then it's a camp toss up

I like the look of that front 7.

You are. The 4-3 ship left the port in 2009 with Greg Blache.. We are a 3-4 team now and for the forseeable future.

Because you're forgetting about Keenan Robinson

Also because you're forgetting Jackson is a DE converted to OLB who then you would be converting to ILB. This isn't Madden where you can just go to another screen and change a player's position. Jackson has very limited lateral quickness, especially for an ILB. Not discounting any of his plays but did you see how long it took him to build any forward momentum on his INT vs the Browns?

He's maximizing the role he's playing in the defense but let's quit being prisoners of the moment and making him into something he's not.

Also, Jackson and Rak are almost the same exact size. Rak is definitely more chiseled and is stronger.

Orakpo has not been the same sense he did those bad Geico comercials.

:laughing2That's good shit.

Yes. I was watching number 72 Stephen Bowen and there was a few plays I saw him just give up and lightly jog and lollygag basically. Let one of them take his spot even though Bowen is listed as DE. Either one of them would be better starting over Bowen. Just venting a bit but I'm proud of them so far.

I'm not sure that I entirely agree with your post. But you do get 10 points for using the underused word "lollygag."

I'm not entirely sure we use Jackson and Orakpo the same ways. I think we're using Kerrigan more like we used Orakpo and Jackson more like we used Kerrigan before. Might be wrong though.

What?

You can have Jackson and Orakpo on the field at the sametime, his alignment is a little off, but it can easily be done.

I wasnt critical of hte idea of having jackson, orakpo, (and kerrigan) on the field at the same time. His proposal put Jackson and Jenkins on the field in a 4-3 instead of Bowen and Carriker on the field in a 3-4. I think Bowen and Carriker are much better 3-4 players than Jackson and Jenkins are 4-3 players. His scheme put two backups on the field instead of two more talented starters. It also put in two rookies as safeties with Hall and Wilson still our starting CBs. it was a completely stupid proposal in every way.

I don't think the 10 points you awarded were warranted because the word "lollygagging" is a baseball term.

pretty sure lollygagging is just English and had nothing to do with baseball.
