Yes because thats what we need. More overpaid players who under produce.

It took him three seasons to learn how to stop rushing upfield ten yards.
He only had 28.5 sacks his first three season. If only he knew how to rush the passer.

Too bad it took him three seasons to figure it out.

He belongs in a 4-3 defense as an end. He's gone.

no first round pick makes getting an edge rusher difficult (especially when you need corner backs, most of an O line, a D line, a number 1 receiver, an inside line backer, safeties...)  Use some of the cap money to franchise him (one year at an insane salary is better than multiple years at a high salary)- it's a one year hit, and, barring insanity, they should look to spend the whole windfall in one offseason

Perhaps. I'm extremely suspicious of a guy who suddently started producing in the last 4 weeks. Two of his sacks came off of Haslett moving him to the strong side with Kerrigan and using him as a blitzer. Two others came last night when suddenly developed an inside move, or at least, stopped running 10 yards upfield to try and get to the QB.

Personally, I think he realizes that it's a contract year and he needs to produce like he's been toutted in order to get paid like an elite pass rusher.

that's why I'd franchise him (there is almost no way I'd sign him beyond that). It keeps him in a contract year, it gives the team another year to fill other holes, and he only counts against the cap for one year

Well, following in the recen tradition of DC professional sports, Shannahan did say something to the effect of "Super Bowl or Bust" didn't he?

I wonder if he golfs with Davey, or if they just drink the same favor Kool-Aid?

if they move the sticks by mistake, what happens if the coach asks for a measurement?

Shanahan said he did ask for a measurment. If I'm not mistaken, if it's that close, they are supposed to measure it, stopping the clock to do so. I can't swear to that though. I don't think we'd have scored or anything anyways, but damn, how do you mess that up. Hell, the ref that was yelling that it was third down could have blown the play dead asap and got everything square. Better that than the mess that they ended up with.

As an outsider watching and listening to the game, I got the impression from Michael's and Collingsworth's comments that they had little respect for Jeff Triplette from the get go.    They tore him up after several plays during the game.    After that final non-call, they finished him off.     Now, it appears, the NFL is backing off the handling of that series.   In fact, they're owning up to a f*** up.    I wonder if Tripplette will get the Phil Luckett treatment.   This is the big time, only game, national game, etc.    You can't have this happen if you're Roger.

I think it's safe to assume Tripplette won be referring either the super bowl or conference championships, short of that, it's not fireable

Luckett didn't get fired but he did get "demoted".    That exhibition was awful for the brand.   Roger's all about the brand.    Jeff's probably light a few bucks (or whatever the NFL does to referees).

Last night's gaffe doesn't even bother me nearly as much as the inconsistency of calling penalties week to week or even team to team. Last night there were a couple times where Kerrigan had a Giant's arms around his neck trying to get to Eli that were apparently clean, yet looked equally as bad or worse than the holds on Moss and Montgomery. Then you have certain plays where handchecking with a receiver is PI and some where it's just "good defense". OPI and lack thereof might be my least favorite too.

It all just adds up over the course of a game and season and it annoys the hell out of me. It's a league-wide thing too, not just a Redskins thing.

Pretty sure he had 11 sacks as a rookie.

While that is true, he played linebacker. that's the position he was drafted to play.

In the 4-3? I'm almost certain he was lined up at DE with Andre Carter on the other side and Fat Al in the middle. Can't remember who the other DT was. Philip Daniels maybe?

Looks like it was both.

It wasn't long before coaches decided they could do even more with him. With seven games still remaining in the season, Orakpo has made the adjustment -- playing both strong-side linebacker and defensive end for Washington -- and has exceeded many of the expectations around Redskins Park.

Dress warm. Stay on the left side of the road. People often get mugged for their tickets on the right side.
