I agree, but remember he's taking on the opposing team's best pass blocker on most plays... Kerrigan is not.

Man these refs are TERRIBLE

Kerrigan vs Columbo
Orakpo vs Jake Long

And that was the point with bringing in Kerrigan. If the blockers are occupied with Rak and Kerrigan is open, so be it.

Once again, I don't know why our fans hate the idea of having two good players in one position.

so does demarcus ware and he lives in opponents' backfields. if orakpo wants to be considered elite, he needs to do the same with regularity.

i dont think anyone "hates the idea". just an observation and an opinion that has been formulated over a long period of time. elite players beat the double team. again, demarcus ware.

But this isn't about Orakpo, is about the defense making plays period. If this happens every game, so be it. In the end Orakpo alone doesn't win games, teamwork does.

I'd give very serious consideration to trading Rak this offseason. Well, to be clear, I'd test the market with him and see what he might bring back potentially

I don't think he is elite. My point with those making the Kerrigan > Orakpo argument is simply that if you swapped sides, you might see swapped results as well. That's all.

With the new CBA, it sure as hell wouldn't be a 1st rd pick.

Hail to the Redskins · 11-13-2011, 02:52 PM

AWFUL on 3rd downs today though... seriously... bad.

DynamiteRave · 11-13-2011, 02:52 PM

Man. Barnes blows again.

over the mountain · 11-13-2011, 02:52 PM

i dont have a problem with using 1st and 2nd round picks on guys who get at or protect the qb.

orakpo has rom to improve but hes got time too. hopefully when we are contending in 2-3 years he will be at his peak making plays.
