Orakpo making immediate impact

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on November 20, 2009 1:14 PM ET
We've criticized the Redskins front office more than a few times on PFT, so it's only fair to give them credit when they get something right.

Drafting Brian Orakpo thirteenth overall was very right.

The rookie linebacker/defensive end has seven sacks in his last seven games. That number alone is the most for any rookie since 2006, and it's amazing because he only plays with his hand down as a pass rusher one-third of the time, according to Rick Maese of the Washington Post.

Orakpo has successfully transitioned from a college defensive end to a strong-side linebacker on most downs. He is often responsible for covering the opposing tight end. This week, he takes on Jason Witten and tries to build his defensive rookie of the year candidacy. (There are a few good options.)

Some people close to Orakpo interviewed for Maese's article believe the former Longhorn would be even more successful as a full-time pass rusher. But that's a good problem for the Redskins to have. In a mostly lost year for Washington, at least the team has found a core young player on a squad needing a few more.

Washington's next coach should appreciate the help..................

Mecca was dead set the last two years that these guys were the two biggest future busts. So who is the guy this year that Mecca will say we shouldn't even talk about because he doesn't belong in the nfl.

point out who you like and why, if you are wrong you are wrong, but bring some humble pie until you got a superbowl ring and a haircut

I know this guy is the one that's always harping about how Taylor Mays can't tackle and he isn't worth a 1st round pick.

No, it wasn't Sauto.

IRRC, it was that Patriots troll that is here to wash Pioli's beanbag.

Flacco.

The football knowledge we have access to from a few posters is top-notch, IMO, but instead of people taking advantage and learning something from it, they'd rather act butthurt that they don't have that level of expertise.

i can only speak for myself but IMO the problem is when mecca acts like just because he THINKS it then it has to be true. and like another poster said he acts like people are stupid just because they dont agree with him. i GUARANTEE it's not because "im butthurt i dont have that level of expertise" i dont know as much about o-line play as milkman and disagree with him on many subjects. we can actually talk through things and it doesnt become uncivilized. it's all in how you act to people.

oh and he makes shit up when nothing else works, and likes to use what some random person on some other random message board says and acts like THATS PROOF.

including your opinions about the team.

Same thing goes for Dane.

Same thing goes for OTWP58.

with a name like Pestilence it's no wonder you support them ... you forgot Hamas btw.

As someone who has butted heads with him more than anyone here, I can tell you with 100% certainty that if he's called you (generally speaking) stupid or a moron, it's because you've brought nothing to the conversation.

If your opinion is based solely on emotion, and not rational thought, you're probably going to be ridiculed for it.

Bring a take, and be able to back it up.

Otherwise, if you say something stupid, with nothing to back up your claims other than "PIOLI" - you're probably going to get laughed at.

beach tribe · 11-20-2009, 01:11 PM

For the record. I like Mecca. But I also like to point out when he is wrong. I don't think he belittles people, I just think he has a hard time ever admitting that he is/could be wrong.
That's why he will almost never take a concrete stand on anything because he's so afraid that he might be wrong.

Say something positive about the Chiefs! Say something positive!

You're not a real fan111

This entire thread is about Sanchez, anyway.

Go to a ****ing Jets board if you don't like our team.
