On Brian Orakpo and holding

also orakpo would not be leading the league is sacks because EVERYONE gets held

^This^. How many sacks would D. Ware, Suggs, J. Allen, Mario Williams, and countless others have if they weren't held all the time? One thing I've noticed that Rak is starting to do is too much whining to the refs. He has to learn how to use his arms to keep the o-lineman from easily grabbing him. Rak just runs right into their bodies most times. Elite pass rushers don't whine or look for bailouts, they just get better to get it done.

Maybe I'm taking crazy pills but I haven't seen him whine one time...

Well I've been to both home games this year and I've seen him. Even B-Mitch said he would like to see Rak "worry less about missed calls and learn how to not be held" during one of the Post Game shows. He's young so he will be fine. It's all a learning experience for him. Oh yeah, don't take crazy pills.

Yeah because B_Mitch knows so much about not being held. Everything he says should be taken with a grain of salt. He just has that little part of him that likes to hate.

Orakpo doesn't complain enough...it is everyone else making a deal out of it.
