Even though starters Albert Haynesworth, the team's pricey defensive tackle, and cornerback Carlos Rogers spent the scrimmage on the sideline, Zorn liked what he saw defensively Saturday, particularly from Orakpo. Drafted as a defensive end, the Redskins are trying to mold Orakpo into a strong-side linebacker. He saw plenty of snaps at both positions on Saturday, and Zorn was eager to challenge him. "We didn't get many yards when we ran at him. He stood his ground," Zorn said. "He's got some things to learn. I think I got him one time on play-action. We want to give him those types of repetitions so that he could learn. I'm very pleased with what he did." "I can't be satisfied with just one day. We have a lot more to improve on," Orakpo said. "I know I have a lot more to do to make my game excel to the next level. But I'm really excited about what we're accomplishing." Source: Washington Post
HomerMcFanboy » samuels sees greatness in orakpo Still not sure why he is being wasted playing at SAM when he will likely have to spend a lot of time covering TEs instead of rushing the passer.
Yea Samuels said that he sees greatness in him. He has a terrific first step and a great speed going after the QB
