Re: Your thoughts of the possibility of Kerrigan "surpassing" Orakpo
Haven't even read the other posts yet but what it looks like to me is Orakpo is being held almost every play which keeps him from getting his sacks. Kerrigan is totally benifiting from Orakpo being stopped but what is nice is during the games it seems like when the opponants decide they are tired of Kerrigan either getting to the QB or getting too close they move the protection his way and Orakpo is freed up.
Its nice to see the Skins with two awesome pass rushers. |

Re: Your thoughts of the possibility of Kerrigan "surpassing" Orakpo
I think Rak would get more calls if he went to the ground actually. You see holding called all the time when the tackle or guard takes the defender to the ground. Sure it'd be embellishing a little bit but we'd be naive to think players in this league don't embellish when given the opportunity. As for beating the tackle I think Rak is actually diversifying his arsenal up this year. I saw him work a spin move on one play there, and on another he went inside on the tackle. And as has been mentioned on Bowen's straight sack Rak rushed up the middle, bumped the guard into the tackle, and that's what opened Bowen up to get straight to the quarterback. Overall great game by Rak today, he still got a holding call and that's in addition to the 2.5 sacks he recorded.

Re: Your thoughts of the possibility of Kerrigan "surpassing" Orakpo
Couple of points:
1. Not sure if we can say Kerrigan is ROY with Von Miller playing like he has been. 2. Orakpo goes up against left tackles which are best prized bulls in the NFL. 3. Kerrigan benefits greatly from extra attention paid to Orakpo. Until Kerrigan proves he is more worthy than Orakpo of those double teams I dont think we can say he is better. 4. Kerrigan is a beast and I am so happy we have him and Orakpo.

Agreed on the first point, but at the same time we have to consider as good as Von Miller has played Kerrigan still beat him out for Defensive Rookie of the Month. If Kerrigan can put up good stats from game to game like he's been doing there's no reason it won't be a close race.

Kerrigan is a steal at 17

Re: Your thoughts of the possibility of Kerrigan "surpassing" Orakpo
Just wanted to point out on NFL.com, that we're ranked 5th overall in the league in Total Defense.
6th in Rush Defense. Tied for first w/ Philly for most sacks in the league (15). Tied for 7th in the league in pass defense. 5th in scoring. 2nd in TD's.

Jenkins is a better player now, and probably would have been a better use of the money we spent b/c his "cheap" years would have been more valuable to us on the front end. But considering the way we did go (probably overpaying Bowen), we came out alright.

Re: Your thoughts of the possibility of Kerrigan "surpassing" Orakpo
It would really be hard to compare these two players.....Orakpo is a destroyer, while Kerrigan is a guy that makes plays and is incredibly heads up.
