Orakpo? He's got some stiff *** hips. I don't find him to be too athletic, I think he's best going downhill. Russell has had weight troubles and has not taken his craft seriously at all. He skipped a team meeting that he organized. Heyward-Bey, I'll give you that.
i see improvement year to year to year with russell but its slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww. i think he'll be decent this year if the oline gives him some time. i wonder where he would be right now if he was drafted by a normal team. with orkapo i didnt really think he was overly stiff but he had no moves and horrible hand technique. he does pursue greaqt though, you're right
Agree for the most part. I thought he improved pretty well last season, especially toward the end, in the final three weeks. I just hope he puts it all together. He needs to work on his touch and accuracy though, he misses too many open targets. I think his muscle mass held him back from having some form of loose hips. He occasionally covered the flats for Texas but he didn't impress me much there. His lateral quickness isn't bad IIRC but his COD skills are not too impressive. Too stiff because of the muscle IMO. Agreed on no moves. He was mostly bulrush from what I saw. Sometimes would dip his shoulder and run the arch but mostly bulrush.
I think the things I would talk about with respect to mistakes and Gholston would be his mental processing, flexibility, and just the fact that he didn't make a whole lot of different kinds of plays.
