Soup Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Orkapo is so quick of the snap, it's amazing. Just his speed alone will cause problems for tackles, imagine how he'll do in a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROSCOUT Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I just hope Blache is planning on moving him around all over the place because that is what distracts QB's and causes confusion. This guy is a beast and could be the 2nd coming of Laurence Taylor except without the drug problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time we drafted a player that was said to be "the next LT" he turned out to be a freelancer who blew his assignments. Let's hope Orakpo is better than that and makes his own name.

Children of the Zorn Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I just hope Blache is planning on moving him around all over the place because that is what distracts QB's and causes confusion. see thats how u become a jack of all trades and master of none...i got no problem with them testing him out during mini camps or even preseason but they better make up their minds before the season starts. id personally rather have him on the line because i DONT want daniels out there. we never had a good pass rush with him out there and getting haynesworth would be a waste if we're just going to throw out an even older/slower daniels than the one we knew.

VaBeachRedskin Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 My only worry with it looking like Orakpo starting out at LE is how he will hold up when he is asked to perform a different role than he has been used to at RE. We saw what happened last season when we tried to use another RE (Jason Taylor) at the LE position and saw the struggles that he had there in the new role. To really be an effective LE Orakpo will need to add ~20 lbs on to his frame to better hold up with the double teams that the position will command.

He's young and he can easily learn to play in several positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annonymous Source Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Orakpo will be solid against the run, but he is not dominant at coming off his blocks and sliding down the line. He reminds me of a young Phillip Daniels, and if his career resembles that of Daniels I will be content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second coming of LT? Wow, that's quite a stretch. Reminds me of all the people who suggested that Harold Minor was "Baby Jordan." That worked out...

SkinSince87 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 two quick things chase daniels looked good in those highlights except for the INT he threw and notice how Orakpo's DT never got a push up front imagine the QB with nowhere to go cause of a push in the middle and Rak coming effectively off the edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins55 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 What running plays did you see? I saw mostly pass rushes against spread offenses of the Big 12... The runs I did see he does need work. He needs to stand up those linemen and not get pushed back. He attemptes to go around them on therun as he does on that pass and u cant do that in the NFL. You leave a HUGE hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we are able to pick up a really good SLB to compliment him. Imagine the SLB rushing the QB in his shadows that would cause havoc... pushing the QB right into the waiting arms of Carter.

rhyno Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Orakpo played RDE and LDE in college. Playing him at either side shouldn't be an issue. Plus, I woud think it easier to start at LDE and move to RDE than the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's already a workout buff I hope he becomes good friends with Philip Daniels. I'm sure he could tech him a thing or two about getting his body ready for the season, and he claims (was news to me) that he was a bit of a tweener coming out of college as well and obviously has managed to bulk up. This was the first Orakpo footage I've seen so it's pretty exciting for me. His explosion off the snap is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
