Re-Focused: Redskins @ Eagles: Week 17 | ProFootballFocus.com
In what may be a preview of things to come in 2011, Defensive Coordinator Jim Haslett put OLB (and sometime DE, with his hand in the dirt) Brian Orakpo (+2.8) on the left side for the majority of his snaps, even though Orakpo usually always plays on the right side. In this game, he only ended up rushing from the right end twice, and once was after he began the play walking around over the middle. Before he got hurt on a strip sack near the end of the first half, this move led to what could have been one of Orakpo’s best days of the year.
