I applaud this as well.
I think Orpik helped this team more than most realize. You can't place a value on what a guy like that brought to the culture of the locker room (especially ours) and to what he brings to the whole organization. You need a good solid guy who stands on the success of hard work, effort, and dedication (not God gifted talent) to make a successful career based on those things. I'll be surprised if he doesn't coach someday, but maybe not.
Anyway, glad to have him. I think it reflects well on the organization to reward him with a position that suits him, and will ultimately strengthen the team with his impact on young players.
