Panthers signing Yannick Ngakoue?


Recommended Posts

How good is Yannick Ngakoue?
 
Ngakoue is a limited run defender. At 6'2″, 246 pounds, he's never been a great edge-setter. He does know how to get after the quarterback, though.
 
He's never had fewer than eight sacks in a season, and he's posted 19.5 sacks over the last two years.

I feel like Clowney would be better just because he’s better against the run. 

he's not better enough against the run to be worth it considering he's considerably worse than Yannick at pass rushing. 2 sacks in 12 games last year, might as well just go with YGM at that point.

he's also constantly hurt.

Can you believe this guy was supposed to be the next Peppers

Yea, he was high AF but I’m sure coaches know these guys smoke in the off-season. 
 

As someone that hates talking on the phone, having to talk to 5 different people in one call would drain tf out of me no matter how short the call is lol 

Yeah, I got one of those on Monday. Turns out there were quite a few people laid off with no warning.

So draining, yes. Anytime a random meeting pops up with five people you know it isn't good.

Of the remaining FA EDGE/DE/OLB players, Leonard Floyd is the perfect fit for what we needed. However, it depends on his asking price and if he’s desires to be part of a team that’s resetting with a rookie QB, new staff and schemes vs a true contender.

Yannick is not the edge setter DC EJ needs in our 3-4 scheme and neither is the overrated, injury-prone and potentially overpriced Clowney.

Same here. And I’m willing to give YGM a chance with this new regime. DL coach Walsh may be able to help him reach his potential if given a chance.

I hear nothing wrong there

First, there is no problem at all if he was drunk or high there.  You could hear there were a ton of people in the background, clearly having a draft party.  Do you really think there isn't drinking and/or smoking going on at every one of these draft parties?  They're not getting drafted like a pickup basketball game and needing to jump right into the game, it would be perfectly acceptable if they were enjoying the party like any other 24 year old.  It's not like the guy showed up drunk to the green room at the draft, that would be concerning.

Second, there are always delayed responses on those calls and the coaches all know it.  Whether it's their emotions making them take a beat before getting a response out or just family not being able to control themselves and hugging, high five-ing, talking to you, etc.

Exactly! And his defense, no one was expecting him to get called until the next day, LOL

    • this will always be his issue. Because of either bad footwork or lack of arm strength he lofts those deeper balls. thats why he doesnt really attack the middle of the field. you cant float those passes there or its a pick. a lot of time those deep passes, wr had to slow down to catch it. you cant have an offense where you dont attack the middle of the field. 
    • Well that’s the thing. Inconsistent. He will be horrible and then an hour later play much better.  In his third season, he finally played well for 4 qtrs a couple of times. You could look at a drive from those games and be a believer.  But keep watching…. you are like, that was a mirage. 
    • That line about ‘above expectation’… the whole thing is so subjective. And unquantifiable due to the nature of it. Endless variables when the grader needs to make almost a split second determination of what the expectation should even be.  They try, I know. I can even give them the benefit of assuming good faith.  But that is so subjective and the name they gave it is pure hype. What about it is big time? Granted some throws are great but a plus one throw n September doesn’t seem to automatically deserve the label big time.     Would look to rename it with less hyperbolic label. That is my biggest objection really.    Big time were the throws on 4th down in the last qtr vs the Rams. Those, all day long. Excellent and for sure under big time pressure. Some other throws too. But that kind of throw seems to be a smaller fraction of what they use to calculate their grade.
