It would be stupid to have him start in enemy territory on a prime time game.......but hey, I don't make those decisions.

Neither does the coaching staff.

But the good news is that Orakpo's tenure as a Redskins is FINALLY over.

Oh, and I love the round table at RT. Polumbus was benched. Then Compton was benched. Then Polumbus was benched again.

Big Dan calling those shots....

Orakpo hasnt been the same since that season ending injury on his pectoral a few years ago.
maybe we can sign somebody else now

good - shake it up a bit and get guys that can make plays.
Polumbus looks like he hurtin too much and getting blown up too many times

I believe Orakpo has another pectoral injury, and if so, that means he could be back on a cheap one year deal if the Redskins want him back. Many of us have said we'd like Orakpo back, but only if the price is right. Murphy has done enough to warrant the starting spot next year, however.

This means Trent Murphy gets a baptism by fire, and we see if he will be ready to start next season or if we need to look for another stop-gap option. Orakpo could be back on a one-year "prove yourself" deal, but if he's smart and wants a big pay-day, he would look for a 4-3 team to sign with.

Rak is done.....
unless he willing to take a huge paycut.

lets see how our new talent is. Kerrrigan is doing much work anyway.

what you guys think about McCoy starting on MNF in Dallas?

[Guest]

After three pectoral injuries, Orakpo doesn't get anything longer than a one-year deal from the Redskins or any other team for that matter.

I'm starting Dallas' defense in fantasy.

Let that sink in for a second.

You know their secondary is the biggest weakness for Dallas, just like ours? I still feel we are going to lose by double digit points, but the odds are this game could end up being a shoot out.

With Colt McCoy as quarterback?

Anyway, just remember this: If Trent Murphy manages to get even half a sack, he will have done in one start what Orakpo failed to do in 5 years. Get to Tony Romo.

Defense is looking nice tonight.....
Kerrigan is excelling beyond Rak

[Slateman]

Holy shit, McCoy is the answer

[Tailback U]

On that 3rd down completion to Terrenve williams, Kerrigan was blatantly held by Smith...I think there were actually 2 separate holding penalties on that play they didn't call and it was in the end zone with a minute left...should have been a safety and a Redskins win right there.
