4thHanson Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 it's tough to make an argument against him this week. Way to go RAK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[[ghost]] Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hes got to get it, no question He's wearing a Redskins helmet. He'd have to sack the QB on every play to even be reasonably considered for that kind of distinction. I firmly believe that while Orakpo deserves the award, he won't win so long as at least one of the other rookies has a mediocre day in a more popular team.

Cremins Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I saw they had these ready to go by Sunday night, so I was expecting to see this. He should get it, none of the others numbers stand out that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSilverMaC Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 He's the only rook with his own highlight vid this week. 4 sacks is good enough for defensive player of the week, let alone defensive rook of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToHail Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Why in the world is Nicks even on that list? Big TD receptions in the Sunday night game - but he dropped quite a few in that game too. I'm guessing he'll win it since this league favours offensive players.

I'm guessing he'll win it since this league favours offensive players. Wasn't it ONE big reception? 100 some yards and one score is not a super game from a WR. 4 sacks 6 tackles and a force is where it's at baby!

mistertim Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 He's the only rook with his own highlight vid this week.4 sacks is good enough for defensive player of the week, let alone defensive rook of the week. Especially considering that he is the first rookie to do that since, what, 1987? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljs Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 how can Hicks, who dropped 2-3 easy touchdown passes be considered? anyway, if you refresh the page, you can vote multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins93077 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 They should also note that big al wasn't there to help him out. That was huge!! To me this shows that he's starting to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
