It seems to me that orakpo had a much better season last year than he did his rookie year. Many of his rookie sacks seemed lucky to me. Last season it seemed to me that he got held on just about every time he rushed the passer. Obviously I don't watch these other pass rushers as in depth as I do Orakpo. I do no know if the same happens to them or not.

Orakpo doesn't seem to have whatever is needed to get out of these holds. I don't know if the ability go get around these holds is natural (agility/ fluidity/ natural escapability reasons) or something that is developed (technique, learning nuances to the game). If it is the ladder then there is no doubt in my mind that Orakpo will one day be a consensus top 10 rusher.

Orakpo is my favorite Redskin because he is a warrior at heart. I love guys with a motor and guys that get motivated by not being recognized as top dog, guys that know they are the best and nobody can stop them. I love guys even more that try to prove everyone wrong through both training their heart out and (more importantly) trying to soak in as much knowledge as possible.
