Brian Orakpo - Nickname!!
 

At the home games I think we should chant "Beast" everytime he makes a play in the back field, qb pressure or a sack of course. You know how Tampa Bay's crowd use to chant "Warren" for Warren Sapp and Tennessee's "Freak" for Javon Kearse. I think it would be amazing to hear that from our home crowd.

Re: Brian Orakpo - Nickname!!
 

He's already got a nickname - "Rak." Maybe we can call a sack by Orakpo "Rak Attack."

Re: Brian Orakpo - Nickname!!
 

Rak some Sacks?

Re: Brian Orakpo - Nickname!!
 

I like Rak or Rak Attack.

I like it. I am gonna bring a horn like Yucko's to the sports bar as well so I can honk it and scream "Rack 'em rack!!" with every sack.

As much as I hate Berman, if he's calling him that every week that means good things so I am all for it!

I like "Washington Redskins 2009 first round draft pick" just fits so beautifully dont you think?

Re: Brian Orakpo - Nickname!!
 

I thought he already had one "Sackpo"

Re: Brian Orakpo - Nickname!!
 

Well Doc (Walker) calls him Baby Manchild

Re: Brian Orakpo - Nickname!!
 

im old school. how about we wait until he makes some plays, and then we decide?

I was thinking the same thing.

Re: Brian Orakpo - Nickname!!
 

Just wanted to say congrats on Orakpo. He is one hell of a player. Living in San Antonio and a lifelong fan and alum of Texas, I have seen this guy play and watched him every weekend in the fall.

Dude is a beast, he is fast and strong. He reminds me a lot of Freeney. His strength is his greatest assett. He may seem smallish to some, but his upper body strength is elusive and he can shed blockers fast. The dude benches 515.

You will enjoy watching him play.

Nice pick.

Re: Brian Orakpo - Nickname!!
 

I think I'll watch him play some before giving any thought to a nickname. Trying to think of one now is like Lavar making up his own nickname.

Freeney actually seems like a pretty good comparison. We can only hope he's that kind of player.

Yeah my only concern there is that we aren't built to have non-run stopping ends. Our LB corps isn't prepared to take up that slack. To me that means we have to get gimmicky with the use of Orakpo and I's rather just tweak our system to have our ends pin their ears back to go after the QB and the LBs fill in behind them for run support.

But Blades is probably too small for that type of continual role. Fletcher would be fine in it. Rocky probably excels there. That still leaves a huge hole where every team will run. Identify Blades' side and run there. Then we'll need to support behind that with Landry and suddenly our CBs are on islands again.

Re: Brian Orakpo - Nickname!!
 

I guess the hope is that Haynesworth reall clogs the middle and helps us channel LB efforts in very prescribed and specific ways that will allow them to be where they need to be a split second faster.

Seriously, this is really gay for us to be sitting here discussing what we can nickname the new guy who we'll never meet.

Some of us may meet him.

Didn't know players couldn't be nicknamed by fans though, thanks for the pro-tip.

Bet you have really cool stories at parties too.

Right but at least we all can agree that Berman needs to retire already, i pretty much watched the whole draft muted when he was on the panel.

The Rak..............The Rak is described as a large winged creature with glowing red eyes that can fly in the air, run like a deer and swim like a fish. Inside its body is a glowing furnace of fire which allows the creature to breathe out smoke. Its smoky breath blankets the surrounding area like a thick, black fog with an aroma of salt and pepper. It is bigger than a hundred men and feeds on any living thing. (description from book Tik Tok of OZ)

Sure. Hero worship is the best!

Grown men discussing what they can nickname another grown man is ridiculous. Whatever, it's a pointless conversation.

I see no problem with it. Just having some fun. If it bothers you so much why are you even commenting? Why not shrug your shoulders and move on? I guess your the type to have to control everything around you OR you're just really boring. Let people have their fun.

Well I'm glad that your opinion is fact; what's worthless is your opinion on the thread. There are plenty of other ones to click on if you don't like this one.

You nicknamed yourself for this board, like the rest of us, is that any better?

Loosen up. It's just a harmless thread about a harmless topic.. Not everything has to be so serious.
