Its amazing to me how great and dominant Kerrigan can be with Orakpo and how medicore he can be without Orakpo.

MS said that he wants this defense to be a version of the Pittsburgh steelers defense and he envisioned Ryan Kerrigan and Orakpo as LaMaar Woodley and James Harrison.

Sad thing is that Orakpo at his best is barely a Woodley. Kerrigan isn't as good or comparable as the Woodley or Harrison. I think back to last year with Woodley playing and Harrison sitting out and Woodley is being double and sometimes triple teamed; and still is getting pressure or sacks.

Kerrigan used to be doubled teamed fairly regularly; now he gets singled teamed and taken out of games fairly easily. And yes, Kerrigan does only have one move; thats the Bull rush; and one move as a pass rusher isn't going to cut it.

I remember smoot saying we were thinking about trading Orakpo earlier in the year; I hope to god that the Redskins have some common sense now and see that we need him.

Side note; we need to draft a pass rusher that has more than 2 moves..
