Orakpo and Carriker Done for Season

Game over. End of playoff hopes.
Someone needs to talk you in off of the ledge.

Way too early for that talk. Its week 2, there are only 2 teams in the NFC that are 2-0 and only 1 team that is 0-2. That means there are 13 teams in the conference that are 1-1......Redskins are tied for second in the NFC.

A lot, and I mean A LOT can happen before December. Theres way too much football left to start waving white flags.

LOL!

"Orakpo and Carriker are out for the season!"

"I've got the perfect solution, let's bring in some more wide receivers! Brilliant!"

it's unfortunate but it's not like either of them were game-changers. orakpo is not demarcus ware, jenkins has the tools to account for carriker's absence.

we're not doomed, it's an opportunity for a antonio pierce or ryan clark to emerge

I agree with this. I've always thought that Orakpo was vastly overrated. Wasn't a good run stopper, too easily taken out of the game due to his inability to learn other moves. I think Carriker is a bigger loss than Orakpo truthfully. It's time for the next guys in line to shine. Step up or step off. Really that simple.

The only thing I fear is that our defensive pressure just took a big hit. Hope Haslett adjusts.

We've been down that road, but it wasnt that bad. He wasnt ideal, but he was certainly serviceable. And he left on good terms. I'd rather bring him in than some other random veteran free agent. We'll probably just upgrade someone from the practice squad.

He's lost when it comes to playing in space. He's strictly a hand in the dirt type of 4-3 DE.

I'd rather stick with what we've got.

Wait a minute! So with the new IR rules, isn't it possible that if Orakpo is able to comeback even if we put him on IR? You guys think he has any chance of coming back this year if so?

LOL!

Unbelievable isn't it?

Why ,injuries hit every team.

I thought we put Sundberg on that special IR spot. Plus, I think Rak needs to get healthy, especially since this is basically re-injuring his pectoral muscle.

Crap in a basket....

then swing it around and hit yourself upside the head with it. Chicken last week feathers this week.

We used the IR option on our long snapper.
