He's on TB practice squad and the Skins should go get him, I think he would be the best choice to replace Orakpo's roster spot followed by Kehl.

How about Anthony Hargrove?

I don't think the Redskins have a doom and gloom week after we/you/anybody on this board has a really bad work day or week!

Agree w posts above. Rak is great, but we overvalue him. I'd bet Robby J and C-Dubb fill in well. Shanny has actually developed decent depth, unless previous decades.

Couple of points:
1) Our defensive problem has been SECONDARY, not D-line/LB. Our front seven was full-force for most of the past 2 games, and the QBs just threw quickly to uncovered WR. Unless we strengthen our secondary so they can cover for THREE TO FOUR SECONDS, then who cares whether we have Orakpo?

2) Does anyone think Shanahan / Redskins medical personnel rushed Orakpo back to the field? Perhaps taking more time off to recover would have helped prevent this - he already hurt himself in the preseason and we only gave him a few weeks off.

3) What the heck defensive scheme was Haslett running? Zone my a$$. I digress..

I wasn't very clear about it but I was only joking. While i do believe that Both Orakpo and Carriker are huge pieces in our front seven, I don't think we'll be significantly worse without them. As long as Jenkins steps up his game some, I think the Defense will be okay.

Don't let Laron Landry see this post or he will be all over it.

Eff him and his fragile ass. He will be on the sidelines within two to four weeks.

Whether or not orakpo is playing this defense is so far from ok. Like hundreds and hundreds of yards far from it.

They should change his nickname to "Crystal" cause he's so fragile.

I'll be honest, I really like Gomes and like what he is doing.

I like Rob Jackson or Chris Wilson. They both can rush the passer almost as good as Orakpo can. One of them should replace #98.

So do I, but we still need to fill Orakpo's vacancy. Markus White or Bryan Kehl make the most sense and one of them should be brought back.
