it's amazing how much he has suffered this year because of our D Line. Not many people realized the DE across from Gholston stunk so bad. With Gholston gone, our D Line is Texans worthy, and James has not been able to be a fraction of the player he was last year. I still think he's the second best LB in the draft.
 
Orakpo back in the starting lineup for the Horns today.

EDIT* - Technically not starting. He will only be playing in passing situations today.
