I don't see why not, that's all Judon goes for- before he's stopped and stuck on the block for 3-4 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwight Freeney said something similar in an interview on Pat McAfee's show (was more about whether a pass rusher can be successful in a new system comes down partly to whether they are allowed to do what they do, even if it means they lose contain sometimes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bowser would then be a rotational player, not starting OLB. Ideally the majority of our front seven is “rotational players” IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamKid Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Yanny will debut for us against the Steelers. A team he's enjoyed much past success against. A natural Raven(despite him saying his favorite childhood team was the Steelers..we'll let that one go.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamKid Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Yanny is the youngest player on this list, by far. Ngakoue is about 9 months older than Jaylon Ferguson- to really put it into perspective. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackywabbit Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 OK, I'm hyped. Admittedly, I have been on the side of acquiring Jadeveon Clowney this past offseason and then next offseason, and if the reports are to be believed the Ravens tried. His season seems to be playing out like his critics would have predicted, the production is virtually non-existent. Not an issue with Ngakoue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few naysayers on Twitter claiming YN won’t be that great for the Ravens because a lot of his production this year is coverage sacks. Sounds good for the Ravens IMHO.

My little brother said he saw some Tik Tok to the same effect, implying Yannick isn't good and we aren't 'big winners' with this move. lol No Ravens fan thinks we just acquired prime Bruce Smith. Ngakoue is coming off a down year, but in 2017/2018 he had a Top 11 & Top 5 pressure rate. Even if he's not back at that peak level yet, he's still a big upgrade over what we do have. And we have an environment on defense that will replicate the past situations where he found his greatest success- including playing alongside his former and now current teammate Calais Campbell. I'll take the young ascending athletic pass rusher with undeniable production and an already strong toolbox- any day. It's a great fit on every level.

Everything I read from Texans fans and Seahawks fans wasn’t good. What I saw with my own eyes is my man disappeared in a lot of games. Hype machine.

DreamKid Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 - https://www.pff.com/news/pro-yannick-ngakoue-is-a-premier-pass-rushing-talent-deserves-a-multi-year-extension 2017 & 2018 Yannick was in this league in terms of pure rush ability- with PA and Screens removed. Get him back to that level or beyond, and trading a late 3rd for him starts looking like an All Time steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamKid Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 An easy prediction is Yannick turning all those Unblocked/TE looks our scheme gifts to Judon, into a gang of turnovers. He's entering a whole new world- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
