Orakpo sounding really cocky

[Dallas]

Is this true?

Of course its true. Did you see who posted it? Dude is NEVER even slightly wrong on anything he posts.


We are calling NASA

Is this true?

Yes. He has struggled recognizing free blitzers and that is why he is not on the field on 3rd downs.

he is not terrible, nor awful or whatever....He is just struggling to learn it.

That's a pretty huge issue because Jones seems like the perfect 3rd down back.

Clearly he is too soft to pick up a blitz.

Soft and can't run very well either.


Bust? One is starting to wonder.

wish that Cooley wasn't on the IR, I would have loved to see Sensabaugh put the hurt on the wimp!

he can do it. He has had some tremendous blocks this year. they just do not use him as the third down guy and the reason they always give is struggling to pick up free blitzers.

its just a learning curve I imagine. the more he plays the better he will get at it.

All three of our backs actually fit the role of a third down back. Its a good role for choice though.

Whenever anyone on our team talk trash they tend to stick their foot in their mouth. It's not hard to game plan. Flo struggles against speed rushes. Free is fresh meat. Felix Jones can't block or just flat out misses blocking assignments. Bring pressure and the team won't respond. Also let RW have a big game because the offense won't do **** if he goes off.

Dude have you even watched the games? Felix is really improving on his pass protecting. He's laid out a few and stopped multiple blitzers.

Maybe before spouting out you should actually watch the games and not have a bias because you don't like Felix.

Let's not get CLASSLESS.

I think hes fine... hes done some good things. I haven't really heard felix has trouble picking up the blitz since last year.

"YAC can mean Yards After Catch or Yards After Contact, and Cooley was the best tight end in the NFL in both categories last year [2006]. He gained an average of 7.35 yards after catching the ball, and 4.1 of those yards came after getting hit, according to STATS LLC."

I don't have more recent stats.

He's still a little girl. What's your point?

FYI: Nobody here cares about your Precious.

Cooley is NOT a physical TE. Please don't come out like he's the next coming of Witt.

what are these two, the idiot twins?

He breaks plenty of tackles and drags defenders along. He's a very physical player, who used to be the lead blocker as an H-Back. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Hmph. More like "Trolltron".

Thanks for the setup.

 

[Cover 2]

We have one half as good with swagger, you might remember him, Demarcus Ware?

And Ratliff, Newman, Jenkins, and Brooking.
