Frez Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 How's that big DL guy doing for the Ravens this year? I can't even remember his name. He's the DT from Oregon everyone wanted to draft in Buffalo and weighed around 350 pounds. I hav3n't heard his name once this year.
IDBillzFan Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I suspect the fact that you can't remember his name is a good reason why you think you haven't heard his name once this year. I'm just sayin...

Stl Bills Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Think he's doing a pretty decent job cloggin the middle just like he's supposed to. I know he had a long INT return; can't remember if it went for a TD or not.

I hav3n't heard his name once this year. 803079[/snapback] What evidence do you have that he's not doing well? He starts for the 3rd best run defense in the NFL. Like PW he's not the type of player that will rack up a ton of stats either. Even if you watched a lot of Ravens games it's hard to tell. Remember how few realized the importance PW? That's the same role Ngata has in Baltimore. I have no evidence to say he's great either, but with the 3rd ranked run defense I would probably lean in the direction of thinking he's ok.
TigerJ Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Haloti Ngata. I haven't followed the Ravens too closely but I know he had one big play this year, a fumble recovery run back for a TD I think. I assume from that he's doing OK.

He's not in the first bit(top 10)....go past #5 SS Donte Whitner.... He's not in the second bit(Honorable mention).....go past S Ko Simpson.... He's in the third bit(Best of the rest)....along with LB Keith Ellison & DT Kyle Williams. I guess he's doing alright. PFW Rookie of the Year Meter
GhostsOfTheRockpile Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I've seen two whole Ravens games and a portion of another, and he's doing an excellent job. As someone mentioned, he's doing his job a la Big Pat Williams... clogging the middle, freeing up Ray Lewis & Co. For obvious reasons I've kept my eye on him more than a few times, and I've been relatively impressed by his play for a rookie DT who - like most rookie DT's - take a little time to get in NFL shape, learn their roles better, etc. He would have been a nice fit in Buffalo if the coaches thought he could have fit in Perry's D. That said, I loved the Donte pick then, love it now, and I think we're all going to (hopefully) love it for the next 10 or so years.
Coach Tuesday Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Actually he's doing REALLY well. He is exactly the run-stuffer the Ravens were hoping they were drafting, and he's been surprisingly effective as a rookie. Honestly, you should've gone with Bunkley for your post, who has not made much of an impact. If the Bills have drafted Ngata, most likely Bills Nation would be very psyched about him right now...
