Banged-up safeties – LaRon Landry and Oshiomogho Atogwe have been banged up for the better part of the year. On Sunday, Landry suffered a groin injury and Atogwe was demoted because in his current condition, he doesn’t give the team a better chance to win than Reed Doughty.

There is one flaw with the article as stated by the sole commentor...
I like what you tried to do with the post, but I think our quarterback issue pretty much disproves your point. Why? Most good quaterbacks are taken very early in the draft. Not always, but the majority are taken early.

NE: has had it’s franchise quarterback for 11-12 years, and this one proves your point about quality being everywhere. Tom was taken in the 6th round, although this in my opinion is the exception not the rule

Baltimore: Flacco was taken with the 18th pick in 2008. Does this prove that quality quarterbacks can be picked up late in the first round? Not really… Very few teams picked/ needed QBs in the first round, Flacco was the second QB to go, with the exception of Atlanta who had a top 5 pick and took Matt Ryan. The teams that are picking in the top of the draft this year would not let the 2nd highest QB fall to 18.

Ind: the exact opposite of your point. Peyton was the number 1 pick in 1998. 10 years of draft data does nothing since it was further back than that.

Phi: Another team that defies your point. They had a franchise quarterback for most of the past 10 years, and guess what, he was picked 2nd in 1999. Their acquisition of vick had nothign to do with the draft

SD: Another team that doesn’t work. The year they had the number 1 pick they traded down to four and got their quarterback.

Who cares where you draft when you have the one piece of the puzzle that matters the most?

Only one player has the ball in his hands every time he steps on the field. Would love to draft 29th overall for the next 10 years, give me a 4 year run like Buffalo had drafting 31st (less then probably with expansion since).

He is basically Bruce Smith reincarnate. Which means he is perfectly capable of having a terrific career, albeit as a one dimensional player.

Now, all that said, I do hope he does break down and make the decision to round out his game.

Remember when the Skins were soooo dumb for taking a DE and converting hime to OLB? Imagine if Rak was on the line of a 4-3, he would be manhandled all day long. Also he is not getting the holding call when he is roped around the neck so he should really stop throwing his arms in the air and trying to draw the penalty.

When Gaffney drops the ball I blame Kyle. When Jammal Brown doesn't block I blame Kyle. When Barnes dives out a guys ankles and misses I blame Kyle.

but he does get held to much. Rak needs a spin or a swim move, I think he’s fast enough for a really good spinner.

You know pass rusher doe more than just register sacks.

You’re arguing he should be a 4-3 DE when he did that on a very limited basis. Like I said before, do you maybe think that there’s a chance that maybe the league adjusted to him a little? Or is that just totally out of the question.

People still arguing 3-4 vs. 4-3 need to find a new hobby, it’s a tired argument, we’re running the 3-4, GET OVER IT.

look again...

-he is better suited as a 4-3 DE…his best year was in a 4-3 defense when he was lined up as a 4-3 DE less than half the time. Did teams get film on Orakpo and adjust? Yes, but i’m not sure what you are trying to say with that statement. Team adjusted, but Orakpo is still doing the same moves from hsi rookie year…that screams slightly above average pass rusher if you adjust to the game and learn new moves…
-i’m not screaming “go back to a 4-3” just saying his best season was in a 4-3 defense. Orakpo in coverage??? yeah explain that

Yes, depending on his position.

If the corners are getting more tackles than your Defense is bad. The guys on the front line and in the box should be getting most of the tackles and the secondary should be getting the most deflections/pass defensed. In the 3-4, the linebackers should have the most tackles.

I guess you are judging best year by sacks only. Why wouldn’t he have more sacks in a 4-3 when he rushes the passer more in a 4-3. As for your comment below Kerrigan never played in a 4-3 here so no clue what you are talking about.

When Gaffney drops the ball I blame Kyle. When Jammal Brown doesn't block I blame Kyle. When Barnes dives out a guys ankles and misses I blame Kyle.

This is what I love about our fanbase

Dude has been in the league for almost three years and is a two time probowler. Is there another fanbase out there that isn’t happy with their best players?

Last time I checked every player gets blocked out sometimes. Even the great Ray Lewis got trucked by TWill in the preseason.

I think Rak is having a good year. Teams are still scheming against him and alot of them force him to drop into coverage. As the rest of our new pieces get comfortable in the D and Has continues to get better at calling a game Rak will start to dominate.

People need to chill a little.

Shut up DHall.

by 64ShagginWagon on Nov 30, 2011 1:14 PM EST up reply actions  

Agreed

I think it’s a little of both:

1. Rak isn’t Ware, despite how bad we wish he was. But that’s okay because DeMarcus Ware has shown himself to be a once in a generation type of LB, akin to LT. Orakpo is a converted DE who is still coming into his own and is just simply not as elite.

2. Orakpo could improve his craft, learn some new moves, and be a more rounded player

I don't think

Anyone is say they don’t like Rak. Just that, if he wanted to, he could be so much better. I don’t feel like digging up the quote right now, but I remember hearing a month or two ago how someone asked him I the thought he needed a counter move, and he basically said no, that the refs just needed to call the holding more. Of course, I’m paraphrasing. I don’t remember the exact wording.

The other thing is, I’m pretty sure teams are running to his side more. At least it looked that way yesterday. Same thing they did with Bruce Smith.

I wasn't trying to imply that noone likes him

Just that we aren’t satisfied with a pro bowler. I remember the quote you are refering to. I think it was in September. I was unhappy about what he said, but at the same time he spent the offseason lock out training in MMA to develope more moves.

I just wonder how much the lockout hurt all of the players. I think it stunted the growth of every young player in the league. Look at Riley, the guy shuld have been starting since game 1. But that is the nature of the beast.

Also RyKer has been pretty damn good in run D so I would run to the other side as well.

Shut up DHall.

by 64ShagginWagon on Nov 30, 2011 1:43 PM EST up reply actions  

If you become satisfied you become happy with a product if you become happy with a product you become lazy

Rak has been satisfied with his pass rushing abilities since he was an elite player in college, he has refused to work on counter moves to further develop his games. The great players never become satisfied with who they are and are constantly working on technique. I expect no less out of our fan base.

I think

What brings it out, to me at least, is that Kerrigan looks to be a better all around player already.
I realize he’s still young, and early into his career, but I just wish I could see more development from him. Frankly, I get tired of people complaining about him not getting holding calls. All the elite pass rushers get held. The difference is, most of them adapt. I just don’t see that from him.

As for the comparison between him and RyKer, this is what I said to my buddy when him and I had the same conversation yesterday. When I see Rak, he seems to be worried about getting past his guy. RyKer, on the other hand, seems to be worried about getting to the ball. I know that sounds like the same thing, but it really isn’t.

I agree 100%

Everyone says Rak is naturally gifted and that RyKer is more of a motor guy. I almost prefer the motor guy because he will constantly try to get better. He reminds me of a Jared Allen type player.

I agree with you and jbh that it doesn’t seem like Rak is satisfied with where he’s at right now. I hope that will change as RyKer develops more. Rak should want to compete to be the better player. I think of Mann and Manley and I get excited. Look at Freeney and Mathis for the Colts. For years they were the D there. I think these guys can grow into something special together. I just think we need to be patient.

Your entire argument is pointless

What are you tryign to accomplish?

Get us to draft a new OLB?

Everyone is acknowledging he’s not elite. But also leaving in the fact that he could develop.

End of story. What more do you want?

Move on to more worthwhile discussions.

This is not a worthwhile discussion???

Oh maybe I should talk about the draft that is damn near half a year away and i Orakpo will not develop, because he still has not learned another move.

I'm glad to hear Trent has done well the past 2 weeks

against solid competition too. I think it shows he has the talent to be as good as any LT, he just needs to keep working at it and get a bit more disciplined.
