Orakpo + Ware = GTL?

firstdown · 03-24-2011, 05:37 PM

Back in the days of the hogs they had a room that after practice they would hang out in and drink beer. Now we will have a Skin, cowboy, and giant player doing god knows what in that room. Sorry too much love for me.

we do have a fellow by the name of chris cooley, he has been very vocal about his hate for dallas. i even heard him with mike wise the other day saying that his old man got a redskins tattoo not too long ago.

as far as rak workin out with ware and osi, go for it. and espescially since they are on the same side of the ball. it's not like they would ever go head to head for any reason. unless shanny thinks rak is a great zone blocker

Harumpf.

I don't know why I was hoping the CBA would go bye bye so teams could keep their players and build the player/team loyalty back to what it was in the 70's and 80's.

So much for the players getting the rivalry in their bones and hating one another. Might as well invite Fletcher and Wilson to go along also... maybe they all can all go get icecream together.

I 10000000000% agree with you.

I'd prefer Rak went to a whole nother division to seek practice time with.

I have no problem with this at all -- but it still seems strange. If you truly cared about your team, it would seem like there should be no incentive to share your techniques with division rivals.. I'm sure Romo and Eli aren't liking this...

There's the rub. Rak learning from Ware and Osi is like using Saddam Hussein's warplanes against him.

I don't see where Skins fans should be upset about this. Cowpokes and Giants fans should be the ones whining, if anyone whines.

Because your guy is helping our guy get better. Since Osi has more experience, the knowledge will flow mostly in one direction.

In todays NFL they all know and use the same type of techniques. The only difference is that the good players can deal with the techniques and the average player gets beat more often

i don't care if he works out with Jimmy Johnson, Troy Aikman, and Joe Buck everyday as long as he continues to progress and be the BEAST that he is .. Hail Rak

What does that tell you?

That everybody hates the Eagles
