Laxpunk2006 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 From what Jackson showed today, in two words : NO SIR Today was certainly a poor showing, especially in the first quarter. He lost contain on quite a few runs over to his side and completely whiffed on McCoy on one in the backfield. McCoy is a good player so it could have happened to anyone but we should be realistic in our analysis of our players regardless of their reputation or draft position. Jackson strung together a few very good games but today was not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 solution move to a 4-3 I wouldn't move back to a 4-3, but I would make more usage of nickel lineups where I play Orakpo and Kerrigan at DE and have Jackson as one of my 2 LBs. Then we can put somebody like Jenkins inside at DT and have a nice front four. But I do like the way this defense has been able to create turnovers, unlike previous years.

Jackson strung together a few very good games but today was not one of them. Whiffing didn't bother me as much(bothered me, but I get McCoy is elusive) as his mental errors today. He had the opportunity to turn the play inside(which is his job) on a number of occasions today. And I'm sure our D coaches made it abundantly clear all week to force McCoy into the meat of our defense. I like the kid, but he still has some growing to do.

Chump Bailey Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I like the kid, but he still has some growing to do. Every team needs players like Rob Jackson and he is Greg Blache's greatest contribution to this team during his tenure here. I believe Vinny asked Greg specifically who to draft in the 7th round that year. We drafted Orakpo to rush the passer period. He has an elite 1st step - that is exactly why he was taken 13th overall and Jackson in the 7th round. He needs more time to get acclimated to this defense. I personally think Orakpo is going to have a monster season in 2013-2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingGibbs Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 You guys can have your sacks. I'll take RJ and his impact plays. Like it or not RJ is a better all-around LB then 'Rak.

ZRagone Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Haz...you're job over the off season, find schemes to get Orakpo, Kerrigan, and Jackson all on the field. There doesn't need to be talk of "Orakpo" vs "Jackson". There needs to be talk of "Orakpo AND Jackson" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Skins Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Wondering when this thread was coming up. Jackson is so much better in coverage than Orakpo. It's great to see RJax step up the way he did. Edit: That being said: Rak still is a beast and RJax, Rak, Kerrigan and Zo all available as pass rushers next year gets me pretty stoked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newera Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I would move Rak back to D.E and try and resign Jackson. Rak just doesn't play the pass nearly as well as Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 After Week 2, I thought the Skins were basically screwed on defense without Orakpo and Carriker. Jackson, along with Fletcher, has made this defense a lot more sound during the 7 game winning streak. Obviously, he made the play of the game because Dal@ss had momentum and was on a roll after that TD and 2 pt conversion. I really thought that Romo sits to pee was going to drive them down to at least tie the game, if not win it if Jackson doesn't pick off that pass.

WheresRickySanders83 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I don't see why it has to be an either/or. You can never have enough DE's/LBs. Why can't we have both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeKnowsBest Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Under thew new NFL IR rules this year, since we got to the play offs does that mean there is any possibility of Orakpo making an appearence in a game with the Redskins in the Playoffs?

braindx Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I don't see why it has to be an either/or. You can never have enough DE's/LBs. Why can't we have both? Take the cue from the Giants --- you can never have enough pass rushers. Also, the Steelers have James Harrison, Lamar Woodley, and Lawrence Timmons -- 3 very good OLBs on their roster for at least 3-4 years now. Though they're going to part ways with Harrison after this season I think b/c of injuries and cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
