Re: Sporting News Today - Ngata 4th best
Why is this turning into an argument about what our OLB/ DE players do?
Nagta is a beast. He may never get a lot of sacks, but he does make a lot of plays just by pushing the man in front of him back on almost every snap. He is basically a guard on D. his main job is to block for the linebackers, and play sort of like an O lineman on D on pass plays as well. That is also why he makes a great redzone TE and Grubbs got snap as a goal line DT. Blocking and beating the block, moving the line of scrimmage is a huge part of the game. Most of the DTs that get sacks and tackles for loss, do it by getting by a guy, not by going through them like Nagta is asked to do when he does rush and not drop into the short zones like they ask him to do effectivly.

Re: Sporting News Today - Ngata 4th best
How many times did we run the ball right behind one of his blocks for an easy TD? Red zone TE has to run block like a tackle and Nagta does it better than most of our tackles. Look back at some of the redzone TD runs. Nagta is out there crushing dudes and driving them like a sled.
He does have decent hands as well and would catch the ball if no one covers him.
I am not speculating here. Check the tape. He already did all that stuff and played a lot of snaps at TE.

Looks like 92 blocking 56 down the line for a walk in by Willis to that side.
Nag gata on Harrison on the 1st TD.
