Ngata to Eagles

[C42]

I hope our coaches get our O-line back in shape. Their D-line can rotate Cox, Jernigan, Barnett, Graham, Bennett, Long, Allen, and Ngata. If I was a Giants fan I'd worry about Eli getting murdered with the line he is behind.

I had a pretty big smile on my face when I heard the Giants didn’t land Norwell.

The Eagles aren't scaring anyone by signing two washed up DL's Bennett and Ngata

They may be past their prime but thier not asked to be an every down player. They are situational players that will come in an make a play when you need them to.
They are veteran players that know how to win in big games. We dont have that leadership in Dallas!

LOL at Bennett being "washed up".

You guys will literally make up whatever you want to make yourself feel better I guess.

Bennett would be our 2nd best DE, right now.

He had 2 sacks in his last 8 games, but you can put him in Canton if you want

 

[AmishCowboy]

You guys really think at this point in their career Bennett and Ngata are an upgrade over Vinny Curry and Beau Allen?, I think the Eagles are just treading water here

 

[C42]

Washed up? LOL that’s ignorant.

Keep in mind now he gets to play with Cox who will take on the double teams and Graham on the other side who is just as disruptive.

 

[Blue&Silver]

If he splits time and they monitor his snaps, he has a better chance of staying healthy instead of being bashed on by double teams all game.

Look, I know it is fun and games to laugh at experienced DL, but there are always good ones who can produce if they are managed in terms of their workload. Freeney with Atlanta a few years ago was a classic example.

I'm not making fun, and laughing at him. At one time he was a high end DT. I simply am pointing out his better days are long gone and he's a shell of what he once was. It wasn't the greatest signing in the world that would provoke such a strong response from cowboy fans.

Bennett played more snaps because Seattle didn't rotate it's line like the Eagles do.

 

[C42]

Bennett played more snaps because Seattle didn't rotate it's line like the Eagles do.

That’s true, but would someone that’s washed up play that many snaps? There are other factors too as to why his play dipped. Maybe the injuries in the secondary allowed QBs to find their targets quicker. Like I said, he’s playing next to Cox and Graham now who will probably take most of the double teams. He’s at the end of his prime no doubt, but not washed up yet.

Ngata will push any offensive lineman back into the QB or knock him on his *** one on one. He is unblockable one on one. He needs double teams constantly. He is a monster.

How do the Eagles afford him? I thought they were in cap hell right now.

This is not the Baltimore Ravens Ngata, if he was what you say he would still be Baltimore Raven. He is above avg DT that needs to be in rotation to be effective. His body has taken a beating especially in the Baltimore when he had to eat up blockers to keep guys off Ray and Terrell

 

[RoboQB]

Depth signing.

He’ll back up Jernigan.

There's some irony there.
He'll back up the guy in Philly who was drafted to replace him in Baltimore.

I didnt even think about that haha.

Agreed, he’s still a great run stopper but not so much as a pass rusher anymore.

Ngata has 33 tackles in his last 32 games. That's Brian Price-like numbers.

I have seen Ngata and his force in the middle when playing for the Baltimore Ravens.

Yeah buddy. Me too. That was 4 years ago. He was slipping then too. That's why they let him walk. I watch a ton of Ravens games.
I've gone to a few. That place can rock. I saw Ray Lewis' last playoff game there.

 

[Valorius]

And they were over the cap before this lol. Cap space is an illusion for these guys

Several of us were telling you guys that the Eagles cap problems were illusory.

Roseman restructured 2 contracts and Voilà...

 

[Valorius]

Solid depth at his age.

Now watch them really sign Suh for minimum like he said he would lol

That would be amazing.

 

[Valorius]

Got to be a one down player and use in short yardage situations. If he makes their team.

This.

Ngata is a run down player to clog the hell out of the middle. Something he is still very capable of doing, and doing well.

The MUCH bigger news is the Michael Bennet trade. The Eagles now have 3 fantastic edge rushers in Bennet, Graham, and Barnett. That's even if they don't keep Long. (which i think they will, since he will play for the league veteran minimum).
