Another guy they would love but won’t be there is Oregon tackle Haloti Ngata. Now you’re talking about a pure 3-4 nose tackle. He even compares himself to one (the Steelers’ Casey Hampton) because of his ability to fight through double teams. Ngata is another guy that spent 15 minutes with the Bengals Friday night in a due diligence meeting.

from bengals.com so true :P hmm they even used a meeting on him /twinkle in kazkals eyes

Who wouldn't like this guy on our D-line ?? If you wouldn't, my opinion then would be that you are crazy !!! He's a beast that is going to be a difference maker for one lucky team IMO...

WHODEY !!!

I wouldn't cuz he can't run the 40 in 4.3 or better :P

Funny !!! However, even if he ran a 5.5 he demands a double team and makes every offense account for his whereabouts on the field. When was the last time we had a D-lineman that other teams had to build plays around and account for ???

WHODEY !!!

Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon – 6-4 338

-Interviewed with Bills, Rams, Bengals, Raiders, Giants

Haloti Ngata has an excellent combination of size, strength, and athleticism for a defensive tackle. At 6-5, 338 pounds, Ngata has been timed as fast as 4.84 in the 40 and has impressive strength numbers of: 407 lbs power clean, 505 lbs bench press, and 585 lbs squat. He has a very quick first step which allows him to beat most offensive linemen off the snap of the ball. He uses his strength to overpower opposing offensive linemen and will push them all the way back into the quarterback if that is his only option. He has excellent balance and is very skilled at defeating the cut block. Once he penetrates the line, he has the ability to chase down the quarterback and make plays behind the line of scrimmage. He is extremely difficult to block--More often than not teams will be forced to double or even triple team him, which frees up his teammates to make plays. He has a non-stop motor and doesn’t wear down towards the end of the game as much as most defensive linemen his size do. He is an intelligent player and has proven to be an excellent leader both on and off the field. He has the ability to be a difference maker not only on defense but on special teams as well—he blocked three kicks in 2002 and two more during the 2004 season. The biggest question when it comes to Ngata is going to be his knee. He made a full recovery and believes his surgically repaired knee is now stronger than his uninjured knee, but this is something NFL teams will check out before investing a high draft pick on him. Ngata is a player that can make an immediate impact in the NFL. He has a chance to be a top 10 pick and the first defensive lineman selected if he declares for the 2006 NFL draft.

Where's the downside with this kid ?? I'm not saying it will happen once again, but I would love to see a trade up for him !!! I know everyone talks about V. Davis, but any trade into the top 10 would have to be targeting Ngata in my opinion...

WHODEY !!!
