With all hell seemingly breaking loose around us, let's talk about something positive. How do you like Ngata at NT now that Canty here?

Me(possibly with the homer shades on) I think our Dline just got so much better. Is there a center in the NFL that can stop him when he gets going?

a dline with Ngata at NT, Canty at DT, and McPhee/Jones at DE could be pretty solid. its better than having cody in there

[nextgen_RavensFan]

I like Ngata where he is, find anyone and i mean anyone to replace Cody and Ngata will be the Pro Bowler he was. Ngata is taking a pounding since they can double up on him since Cody is usually on his back. Get a solid replacement for Cody and watch Ngata flourish. Mnt. Cody is a waste and we keep him and let go of Pollard.

Although Ngata at NT would be a sight i would love to see. The guy is a beast. Can you imagine. Great post friend.

Only if Cody developed into that space eating NT, then we could've made that total eclipse of the Sun. Any player in the draft can be a bust or a boom. At least Cody got one more season to salvage his career.

I'm sure there will be some rotational sets of the 3-4 with Canty at LDE, Pernell McPhee at RDE and Ngata at Nose Tackle. I'd like to see how successful that is, sure. I hope we don't draft a nosetackle.

I'll tell you why.

I still believe in Terrence Cody. This is his last shot. His contract year. His make or break off-season. Ozzie took a shot at him, and hopefully improving the interior of our defense will mean bringing in a nose tackle like Jean-Francois to compete. And hopefully, Terrence Cody will blossom into the force he was supposed to be.


We saw the same thing happen with Ellerbe and Kruger. A few others too. Final year of rookie contract, someone who was presumed a bust explodes.

[mgridda]

Can someone please get Terrence Cody on the bench press and doing flys, ripping that chest to shreds and failure 4 days a week?

Waste of his talent. You don't put one of the best Defensive Ends into a position which he would perform worse. I'd rather take a guy off of FA and put him there than move Ngata.

Not necesarily. You can still move him around much like the Patriots do Wilfork. Wilfork is a huge talent that has spent alot of his career at the NT position and in recent years Belichick has started moving him around. I don't think it's out of the question for Ngata to see some time at NT. I'd experiment with if I was Pees. It would save an immediate draft pick this year on a NT.

I had a dream/Nightmare that Ozzie traded Ngata and Doss to the rams for their two firsts for ngata and a fourth for doss tell me we didn't plez it would explain why I woke up on da floor wit my head hurt n

I see you have a new way to promote outrageous trades...

[redrum52]

Does anyone have a link or someplace where I can see Ngata will be moved to NT?

[awholelottahaloti]

There ain't one.

[BloodRaven]

You still need two guys who can hold their ground against double blocks, moving Ngata to NT just means our DE's get blown off the ball.

Personally I just see it as a waste of his talent and movement skills, maybe when he's 32 and slowing down you move him to NT.

[redrum52]

There ain't one.

Since you have Haloti in your name I'll ask you, do you think he's moved? Though he plays there sometimes it doesn't make sense scheme wise to me to do it. Seems smarter to just draft or acquire a NT and let goes rotate.

That's completely stupid. Offense intended. You're saying if someone like Star Lotulelei, Sharrif Floyd (yeah, right), Brandon Williams, etc. are there at incredible value you don't take them in lieu of Cody? That's horrendously stupid and I can't believe that's what you're suggesting. I think you meant to say "not draft a NT high". That's the only thing that makes sense here. You're far too sensible and seem far more intelligent than that.

But, I agree with not taking a NT high if you mean that. Like last year, we have a tendency to wait until late to get players in which a class is considered "deep". We did this in 2012, taking Tommy Streeter in the 6th when many clamored for him sooner. We did this in 2010, when we snatched up Arthur Jones. I don't think it's intentional. I think what happens is the board just so happens to cause players rated higher at other positions to be there as teams raid a certain position group.

I want a MLB early. I want Arthur Brown. I'm sure you already know that, though. Lol.
