That's a fact ... Dexter was without a doubt one of the best I've ever watched play ... he had inhuman stamina, going 110% on every down.

Orakpo does remind me a little of Manley though. He's certainly got the dominating presence of Dexter ... we'll just have to wait and see if he can do it for years against double teams like Manley did.

But he sure looks like he could be the next Dexter Manley...

Manley used to scare Redskin fans... let alone the opposition - the guy was just an animal and played with a vigor that has rarely been seen on an NFL field. Do yourself a favor and watch some old videos of him in action. The guy just ate quarterbacks for lunch week in and week out - and the bigger the game - the bigger Dexter got.

But orakpo is such a stud that it isn't hard to see him becoming that same unstoppable force. What a talent.

I think Manley was a package of very superior physical skills and pure instinct. Orakpo has equal physical ability, and powerful instincts, but is also very smart. I spent about an hour Sunday evening watching him rush the passer... the way he was using his line mates, and linebackers to shed blockers was remarkable... He excels at improvising an opportunity to use someone else as a pick or a feint, to shed blockers... so not only is he very quick, and very strong... he also has the ability to disappear from the blocker that is assigned to him, and reappear in the face of the quarterback. You can't game plan for that.

This young man has the potential to be a dominant force on the line of scrimmage for a long time...

So you guys are saying that you think ey will be traded for Dexter Manley and Orakpo will now play TE???? Terrible move.

Orakpo can do anything he wants...







you going to tell him otherwise?

I thought "Jeopardy" was a South Oronokin word for "concerning the defensive line"


My bad.
