Samuels high on Orakpo

Ruhskins · 08-03-2009, 10:24 PM

I like Samuels, but instead of commenting on Orakpo or Campbell (good or bad comments) he needs to continue to focus on that o-line and continue to have that chip on their shoulders about the unit's performance in the 2nd half of the season.

Cooley said the same thing about Rak-N-Sak. Star in the making.

Maybe he will be the next Lavar Arrington but a better pass rusher. I just hope Orakpo has a much longer career with the Redskins than LA did.

I suppose, but it is TC and the media are all asking him questions. He is a natural to answer them because we know his level of talent, and he is facing Orakpo on the field.

Samuels will be fine, the only question is health, and that will just have to play out on the field.

Yeah, his health and Randy Thomas' are the definitely in the back of my mind. Although as I said in a previous thread, with Thomas being held out of practice, the likes of Rinehart get to take more reps and playing time in the preason.

More Orakpo hype, and I mean that in a good way, the kid sounds beastly:

I guess I'm in the market for a new jersey. Does anyone know for sure if Orakpo is going to keep his number or can they change after the final roster is set?

He was #98 in college so i see no reason he would change it.

Since Redskins.com is already selling #98 I think it's safe to assume that's his final number, and that was his college # too so why would he change?

Thanks guys. I just got back from shopping with my GF so my mind's a little screwy right now.

That'll make a mind screwy.

Ya, I saw Orakpo on Sunday, and I have to say that he looks like DeMarcus Ware of a few years ago, and eventually he should be better than DW is now.

He just spun right by Chris Samuels, and was freelancing the whole time on the field. I love what Greg Blache is doing with Orakpo, making him like a huge question mark to the offense, as to if he is going to blitz the QB or play zone coverage. This may be our best pick since Sean Taylor. Defensive Rookie of the Year is definitely what Orakpo will be in contention with when the end of the regular season comes by. My props to Vinny and Dan for getting this guy.

Samuels is easily the best player on the team. He can say whatever he wants.
