ripsean21 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I think Norman is a stud. While I wasn't the biggest fan of paying him what he got paid he is a heck of a player. He does struggle with AJ Green but this is pre season. This guy is a hard worker. He is passionate and he is a key player to the attitude change they clearly want on defense. He tackles and he is a heck of a player!!! By no means is he a freak like Patrick Peterson. But for a 6th round pick this guy is a top 5 CB IMO!!! I'm excited to see him play this season?!

Still a better center than Long - when healthy - but he wasn't healthy his last 2 years in DC. He was G/C when we used to run the ball well. He was C when our OL went over 150 yds in back to back games in 2015 then, Lauvao for hurt - replaced by Long - and then Kory got hurt - replaced by Leribus - and all of a sudden we couldn't run the ball anymore. We have replaced orakpo Preston smith basically doing what orakpo does but with some potential upside . Even so Ryan Anderson gonna be a stud if he stays healthy . orakpo overrated but I'll give him some credit he does avg more than 6 sacks a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breeland nearly shut down AJ Green except for one diving catch that Green made on a perfect ball that Breeland had great coverage on too. Breeland seems like the guy will be helped the most by the more aggressive style of defense we are playing. He's good when he's pressing & jamming WRs, struggles in off coverage. He's been staying in wrs hip pockets well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows he struggled with consistency in his first two years, that's why Doc calls him nancy. Orakpo isn't overrated by people who say what he truly is, which is a good but not elite pass rusher. People who think he's overrated are those like yourself who've always expected him to be some 15-20 sack guy every year. There's nothing wrong with having a speed pass rusher who can get you 9 to 10 sacks a year against good to elite LTs. If Orakpo hadn't had his pec injuries, he'd probably still be here and we wouldn't spent 3 second round picks trying to replace him since we let him go.

I will say he's got great technique and intelligence which has allowed him to become a great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we knock him because he is our best and teams do test him but the guy makes plays!!! I'm glad he's a Redskin we need more like him!!!

I understand that. As do I. But I also understand if we had better prices like them around them we really do have some players who are special. Josh to me is one of those plyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
