Still Don't get why Move Orakpo to LB

Pretty much how I feel. He was the best talent at our spot and we need to him to stay on the field on all downs. So he gets to play SLB until its a clear passing down. It's the best use of his talent. He'd be wasted trying to stop the run anyways.

You know what I'm saying? I actually think he's pretty good at sniffing out a run and going after the ball carrier. He's a pretty strong fella too and you can't simply push him around like any other tweener type DE.

No kidding. During the Steelers game I rewound that play over and over when he bull rushed #66 and had him airborne. Dude outweighs Rak by about 50 lbs and he just straight rag-dolled him. He's got some serious power. I think he'll be fine against the run.

I believe he had 19 tackles for a loss as a senior which isn't an easy feet.

Yeah I don't think he is bad at all. I think having Carter, Daniels and Orakpo on the field is a better running defense than Carter, Orakpo and xxxLB. I also think having Carter, Orakpo and xxxLB is the best pass defnse. We're in total agreement...Orakpo needs to be on the field all 3 downs.

wasn't he a bit slow pursuing the run from the outside? I seriously forget games very shortly after watching
