Orakpo showed how great he was two years ago when he was being held consistently on every pass rush. He knows how to rush the passer but he has to learn how to fight through two defenders in order to get to the quarterback because the opposing coaches know what he's capable of. On a play last season when Orakpo sacked Cam Newton, he was more gratified with getting to the sack than going for the strip. Orakpo has to learn how to go for the strip in order to make himself even more respectable and feared.
