Re: Orakpo / Lavar Arrington Compare & Contrast
I think the main difference is, Orakpo has not done a car commercial with Biz Markie:

Re: Orakpo / Lavar Arrington Compare & Contrast
I hope the main contrast is the coaches put Orapko in one position and let the man play football to his abilities and talents. Lavar got bounced from side to side and was up and down. Sometimes you just have to let talented players do what they do best instead of over-coaching them.

Re: Orakpo / Lavar Arrington Compare & Contrast
Obviously, I see I must have worded the original post all wrong....
What I was saying to compare & contrast is what they do on the field, not off of it. Orakpo will play both DE and LB for the Skins, just like Lavar did. I thought Lavar was much better at DE (His best season was when he played it primarily - 11 sacks), but we needed him at LB, and he whined about playing with one hand down.... Orakpo, they are saying, will play LB on 1st & 2nd down some times, but DE on all 3rd downs... just was hoping people would compare their PLAYING STYLES and what they bring to a game as LB/DEs... To say the only thing they have in common is skins color... pretty lame.

Re: Orakpo / Lavar Arrington Compare & Contrast
Time will tell with Orakpo. I liked Lavar when he played but since he got out of the league my opinion of him has dwindled.

Re: Orakpo / Lavar Arrington Compare & Contrast
I think Orapko will be better. Orapko, played all four years at Texas, Lavar, came out as junior with a chip on his shoulder. Brian, seems to be more grounded and eager to get on the field and prove what he can do no matter where you put him, and as long as he doesn't have multiple DC's over several years and isn't represented by the Poston brothers all should be good.

They are both going to be directly responsible for ending a Dallas Cowboy QB's career.

Re: Orakpo / Lavar Arrington Compare & Contrast
The year he had 11 sacks he played DE on 3rd downs but he never played it as a 3 down player.

Re: Orakpo / Lavar Arrington Compare & Contrast
here is an insane idea... LaVar coming back. He's only thirty. Think he's stayed in shape and can take playing a little strong SLB for us?
Just throwing it out there. |
