The Orakpo decision is the one that hurts in my mind.......but there was no perfect answer there. We made our bed by hoping the line getting after QB's to help the secondary and he was a major piece of thinking that would work. Is easy to criticize now but I honestly feel there was no perfect answer and he and the team knew it........a bunch of articles at the time on the subject that they were going back and forth. The Orakpo deal likely kept us from getting more safety help, but the starting safeties have not been the problem during the key points of the season.
Aside from an additional player or two we might have gotten if the Orakpo deal was not done I don't see this years problems as Allen's......there were just to many needs to fill. Also for as much tough talk as Gruden's done his ability all year to get the most out of all his players has been really disappointing.
