Clockwork Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I love the name Ngata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 What number is he again? And Oregon is the team in white, right? (yeah, I rarely watch college football ). EDIT: Was it #91, the lead blocker on the fake punt...? CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 They just showed defensive lineups - he's #96. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Reserve judgment if he's not all over the field, Oklahoma is doubling him every play so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1959BillsFan Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Reserve judgment if he's not all over the field, Oklahoma is doubling him every play so far. 545338[/snapback] I've been watching and the guy is doubled teamed ALL the time. He still is pushing both blockers backwards sometimes, but he really hasn't got any pressure. On one sack, Oklahoma I think was triple teaming letting the guy that got the sack pretty free. He also shows quite a bit of energy and doen't give up on plays. He was persuing a RB after the play went to the other side of the field. The game is early, but he doesn't give up.

He's just so big and can still move (sub 4.9 40), plus he has strong character which is something we need to bring to this team. Any other year and he probably goes top 5, but this year he might just fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 He looks very slow to me. 545348[/snapback] DTs are known for their incredible footspeed. Pat Williams was one of the 53 fastest BILLS every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have missed some plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 No doubt we need DT more than DE, but so far I liked what I saw from Kiwanuka the other night more than Nata... just a snapshot observation, I don't follow either team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what all the hoopla is about. 545364[/snapback] Granted, he is being double-teamed on every play... but he also looks a little slow to me as well, I'm not too sure that Ted Washington or Pat Williams couldn't beat him in a 5-10 yard foot race.... need to see him play more.

1959BillsFan Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 The guy I am just as impressed with is Chris Chester , the Oklahoma RG that seems to be doing a good job containing Haloti Ngata, single handedly sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Umm, just a question here... Isn't a "run stuffing DT" supposed to occupy blockers, hold (not necessarily advance) the line of scrimmage and clog the running lanes? Sounds kinda like what you guys were saying he was doing. I see the score at halftime is also 7-3 Oregon. Might that be due in part to some good defensive play by the Oregon defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Aren't we looking for a DT that can contain 2 blockers, and keep team from running up the middle? He seems to be doing a pretty decent job doing that. It's a little hard for him to show off his 5-10 yard speed against 550+ pounds of OL Oklahoma is throwing at him. He's has been one of the premier punt blockers in college football for several years so the burst is their, besides don't we already have Tim Anderson chasing guys down 5-10 yards downfield?

I had no such thoughts when I saw Kiwanuka the other night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one thing I really haven't seen him doing. Oregon is stopping the run very well, but the Oklahoma QB has time to pass and he is making completions.
