Zorn Fired

Not sure that Ryan actually interviewed, he was on our radar but for DC

I think you are right actually. As someone else noted, many could have taken themselves out of the running. Of course, this is in hindsight but if they liked Rex Ryan why didn't they offer him the job vs the DC (prior to the coach being hired)? RR had alot more experience than Zorn.

What's done is done. There are alot of things the Skins have done that have confused me.

This week I've heard that Rak is lazy and Flacco sucks.

Hilarious.

Who the heck said Rak was lazy? That's the most insane thing I've heard in quite awhile, but what is most insane is the fact that I am not surprised that someone would say such a retarded thing.

Ahhhh....if only everybody could live up to the motto of this forum! :(

Here is your culprit...

I would go as far to say that Von Miller is a better collegiate football player than Orakpo.

Orakpo was lazy in college, and unfortunately it translated to the pros. If only that guy gave 90% he'd be getting 15 sacks a year.

Have you truly not realized this? It was his biggest knock coming out of college also.

He's a great player, in fact our best player.. but lazy.

Hey I'm not here to start bashing the guy. I'm just saying that he's lazy and could be even better if he was using that same speed on every play.

In IR's defense though, he did a post a link with video of Orakpo's draft day where Mayock says one concern Mayock has about Orakpo is that he doesn't always give 100% effort. So while I don't really agree with IR or Mayock here, I'm not going to knock either for their opinion

I feel like it is a bit of a stretch to deduce Orakpo is lazy on the account of a 5 second comment Mayock made that stated that he didn't always give 100% effort. If that's the only evidence he has to back up his claim he may as well make that same statement about two thirds of the entire NFL. Mayock says a lot of people around the league have said this. What other people? I haven't heard this disucssion about Orakpo being explosive only about 80% of the time, and not playing that hard the rest of the snaps.

I'm guessing "lack of effort" can be subtle and one would have to watch the many Texas games Rak was in to get a clear picture of what exactly is meant by "lack of effort".

If Rak learned how to use his arms and hands he probably couldn't be stopped

And bending. When you turn the corner very low to the ground, it is harder for them to hold you.

Hopefully he's working on these things as we speak.

There was this too

But whatever, if there was an issue before I don't see it now with Orakpo and I think we'd all agree we're happy he's on our team

Someone should send him a twitter message to nab some Freeney and Mathais film from the Colts' not-so-secret archives.
