Welcome back, Yannick Ngakoue!

 

Per ESPN: More pass-rush help on the way: Ravens are bringing back DE Yannick Ngakoue, who last played in Baltimore in 2020, per source. The 29-year-old Ngakoue has 69 career NFL sacks.

I can’t believe he’s not 30 yet. Wild.

There is baseball, and occasionally there are other things of note

"Making his own olive brine is peak Mackus."

He's no Jadeveon Clowney, that's for sure.

Van Noy was on his couch at this time two years ago. Obviously can't expect that impact.

It always seemed like Wink didn't use him right. Didn't do much last year but Chicago ain't the greatest org, maybe he has something left.

Yeah, I feel like they've been getting plenty of pressure between Oweh, Van Noy, Madubiuke, Ojabo. Can't hurt to kick those tires. He's younger than Clowney and has been a more prolific pass rusher.

Just use him as a situational pass rusher; see QB, get QB. Wink forced him into a complete LB role which he isn’t. Use his strengths, no square peg round hole BS.

Yeah, he didn't seem to fit in well in our defense with Wink. I imagine he'd have been a monster utilized by Macdonald.

Well, when you don't have much money to spend, this is what you get.  He didn't have much impact the first time he was here.  Seems like more of a depth move than anything else.  

 

The rushing defense has been great and I don't feel like the pressure has been that bad.  I think they are in the top 10 with sacks.  It's the passing defense that's been horrible.  Sometimes that can be traced to lack of pressure up front, but I don't think that's been the case.  It's more the secondary has sucked.  

 

I wonder who is losing their spot on the roster.

My guess is Issac. I also think the communication on the back end has been the problem, it’s essentially the same group, even healthier, so it’s got to be the coms!

They aren't dropping a guy they just drafted in the 3rd round.

No of course not, he could go on IR with a designation to return. Let his hammy really heal.
