Rak still gets pressure, but lets remember that there is now two years of game tape on him vs when he was a rookie and 2nd year player. Teams game plan for him now and olineman have film to study. So as he plays another year or two he will come into his own. Lets not forget he is relatively still a very young player, 3rd year. Next year should be a coming out year. Plus, we are putting players around him that he hasn't played with before, guys that have not played in a 3/4 and they are adjusting as well. Much like offensive lineman, it takes a year to form a group that works in tandem.

It doesn't take much to be the best on this team. But our best is not even close to the best other teams offer. Orakpo does not deserve to be considered among the elites like until he starts destroying every LT he faces just like the elites do instead of getting stuffed by Doug Free.
