Dat Moss Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 14.5 Jevon Kearse, Tennessee, 1999 13.0 Dwight Freeny, Indianapolis, 2002 12.5 Leslie O'Neal, San Diego, 1986 Simeon Rice, Arizona, 1996 So we got Rak In range of these guys with just under half of the season to go. Anyone think he gets it? I think if he was at end he would definetly get it but as of now im thinking around 12-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone think he gets it? I think if he was at end he would definetly get it but as of now im thinking around 12-13 I just saw the C. Hernandez interview with Zorn and he mentioned RAK has broken the Skins rookie record (7) anyway. He could be headed for something great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkypoo Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 It's possible he gets there. Right now he is consistently getting 1-2 a contest. I think he has at least one monster game this year when he gets anywhere from 3-5. Hopefully this week against Dallas. Dude is a monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrifNick21 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Nice post. That hadn't even crossed my mind. I hope he gets there. I'd love it. He definitely deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaRonDontLikeUgly Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 At first I was thinking to myself, "We play some pretty decent QBs in the next few weeks, it may be hard to RAK up the sacks..." BUT... of the 6 QBs we will play against, 4 of them are in the Top 10 around the league when it comes to getting sacked. 5. Russell = 24 sacks 6. Romo sits to pee = 22 sacks 8. Rivers = 20 sacks 10. McNabb = 19 sacks 23. Brees = 13 sacks 23. Manning = 13 sacks ohhhh... and if you are wondering.... 3. Campbell = 28 sacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 5 sacks against the cowboys would be a great start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I can see Orakpo absolutely owning Flozell when we face Dallas next Sunday. Couldn't be anything better for him than to have an awesome performance in his Homecoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Drunkenstein Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 As a Houston transplant, like Rak, who is a Texas-Ex, like Rak, who hates the Cowboys, like Rak, I will be in bliss if he gets 2 or more sacks against Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Those are tough numbers to match, but Rak is one bad MFer and he just might. I hope he does, and I hope he then sets the sack record for second year players, and then for third year players, and then for fourth year players, etc. etc. etc. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick1796 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 no way he can do it. he's not playing DE full time. .. oh wait that's sarcasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ke27on Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I think he will end around 10. I dont think he'll get it but I sure hope he does. Sacks tend to be an inconsistent thing even though he has gotten them consistenly the past several games. Mainly I think the fact that he is not playing at end every down is going to affect him. Plus unfortunately its easy to have games with no sacks at all, the same way you can end up with 2 or 3 sacks in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 That's nice company for him to be in, when he breaks the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysSaintsFan Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Just curious - where will he be lined up? Against Flozell, or Doug Free? Like I said in another thread - Columbo's injury is a HUGE loss for us. Again - no excuses, but if he's lined up against Free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunClintonRun26 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 He just seems to get better and better each game . . . It is actually quite amazing when you watch him during plays. Not only is he relentless in his effort, but his techniques/moves continue to impress me. He has definitely been one of the few bright spots of the season thus far.

MumboSauce Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 If he were there full time I'd say without a doubt, even as is he's doing a great job thus far. wtg Rak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnb123 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I seem to remember rak blitzing up the middle as either a DT or LB (i forget) for one of his sacks yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysSaintsFan Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 He will be on Free's side.Andre Carter will line up opposite Flozell. Though against Denver we were moving Orakpo around on passing downs. In 2005 when Flozell went down, Jason Witten was pretty much taken out of the offense b/c he had to help out in pass protection more, which ended up hurting our offense. Again - I'm not trying to make excuses, but it'll be interesting to see what Jason Garrett does if Free struggles(like Torrin Tucker did in 2005). Also - most of Barber's and Felix's biggest runs have been on that right side with Davis/Columbo - so we'll see if our run game takes any kind of hit. Columbo may not be the greatest pass blocker, but he's a mauler in the run game, and one of our (few)locker room leaders. Flozell isn't that great of a run blocker on that left side. Overall - I think it'll be a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Flozell, or Doug Free?Like I said in another thread - Columbo's injury is a HUGE loss for us. Again - no excuses, but if he's lined up against Free... Orakpo moves around a LOT. He might be coming right up the middle or off the edge. I know the solo sack he had yesterday was against Denver's right guard, Chris Kuper, after running straight up the middle and tossing Kuper like a rag doll. He's fun to watch for sure. He, Haynesworth, and Carter will be a handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
