[quote=Ruhskins;843965]Fair enough, still this seems like a silly argument. We have two great pass rushers, two good TEs, and three good RBs. I would take that rather than having only one good TE, one good pass rusher, or just one good RB.[/quote]

This.

What we have in reality would be fantasy for most other teams. It's like having Clay Matthews and Ware on the same team.

Actually Kerrigan is making Rak better as he draws more respect and blocking to slow him down. AND Rak will give supreme effort to keep up with Kerrigan. They are a ferocious duo and Rak was a monster today...
Tremendous Defensive unit this year...Cannot wait to see what happens next offseason with aquisitions...FA's and Jarvis Jenkins coming back

[quote=rbanerjee23;843967]Orakpo is still the man -- he is feared by coordinators around the league now, Kerrigan still isn't. [B]Orakpo and Kerrigan are absolute beasts though and we may very well have one of the best LB corps in the league with Rak, Kerrigan, Fletch, and now McIntosh stepping up and a very reliable backup in Rob Jackson[/B][/quote]

Pretty much how I feel. And let's not forget Riley and Zo. I think Rocky is absolutely having his best season...good enough to keep Riley from starting which I was really looking forward to seeing, but Rocky is ballin' right now. I wouldn't put Kerrrigan ahead of Rak just yet but he does seem to have a better knack for causing TO's and being around the ball. Of course as much as Rak gets held it's amazing he can make any plays at all. I think the HC and GM did a great job in getting Kerrigan as him and Orakpo are the perfect compliments to each other.

They compliment each other, even make Bowen, Carriker, and Neild look good. Jenkins is a beast of a pass rusher too.

Re: Your thoughts of the possibility of Kerrigan "surpassing" Orakpo
 

Rak is still our main man on the line but with the addition of Kerrigan we are making it much tougher for the opposition. Fun to watch these two at work along with Landry knocking the snot out of people.

[quote=Mattyk;843941]Not sure why it matters if he does or doesn't, we have two beasts at OLB.[/quote]

Exactly right. We've got two monsters at OLB, and that's great. But Orakpo has made the pro-bowl in each of his first two seasons, and he's pacing for another one in his third. Kerrigan has looked fantastic, but he's played all of four NFL games.

Oh, Orakpo had 2.5 sacks today, btw.

Stephen Bowen is very under-appreciated. I'm actually pretty ecstatic that they signed him instead of Cullen Jenkins. Granted Jenkins is playing well right now (4 sacks in 4 games) but Bowen has three years on him and is constantly getting pressure.

I didn't want a broken guy on the downside of his career, that's for sure.

Re: Your thoughts of the possibility of Kerrigan "surpassing" Orakpo
 

Kerrigan has been significantly better than Orakpo during his rookie year.

He's been a non-factor in Philly.

We'll see if he tops 11 sacks.

Surpassing him in what?
This is like trying to decide who gets a free oil change, you or your wifes car.
