I was wondering if he was going to say something about that list. He wasn't even considered, which is what gets me...

http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/25401/power-rankings-top-10-nfl-pass-rushers

1) DeMarcus Ware

2) Clay Matthews

3) Dwight Freeney

4) Jared Allen

5) Tamba Hali

6) James Harrison

7) John Abraham

8) Julius Peppers

9) LaMarr Woodley

10) Cameron Wake

The others considered were Mario Williams, Terrell Suggs, Robert Mathis, Elvis Dumervil, Justin Tuck, Trent Cole, and Chris Long.

:wtf:

Dumervil? Seriously?

IDK, man he did have a 12 sack and a 17 sack season. You can't knock him for being considered. I would probably have more of an issue with Chris Long since he has only 17 sacks in 3 seasons, yet Rak has 20 in only 2.

Dumervil just missed an entire season though. And you're right Long is questionable. Great motor for sure, but only a handful of great games.

I don't see why Orakpo is complaining. He isn't a top 10 pass rusher. In two seasons, he has a combined 0.5 sacks against division opponents.

Semi trollish, there eh?

Clearly, it's all opinion... And on a 'Skins forum you'll get more in favor of Rak than against.

But since I can see an argument here, I won't write you off as a total troll... Just half of one.

Osi set the single season FF record and was voted second team All-Pro at DE this year and he still didn't receive any votes in this poll. And I agree with that decision. You have to be one heck of a player to be considered one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. I'm just saying Orakpo has a long way to go before he can start chirping about not being considered elite.

One of the biggest knocks I've heard against Trent Cole in his tenure is that he kind of disappears against the NFC East. And I'll admit, most of the time I see him playing against a Beast opponent I don't see him mentioned as often as you'd expect such an "Elite" talent to be.
