That Guy 03-28-2006, 06:02 PM Bills | Ngata may not fit team's defensive scheme; may look elsewhere
Tue, 28 Mar 2006 06:04:50 -0800
Mark Gaughan, of the Buffalo News, reports the Buffalo Bills will not be able to address their needs on either the offensive or defensive line with the eighth overall pick in the NFL Draft in April. Oregon DT Haloti Ngata does not look like a good fit for the new defensive system being adopted by Bills head coach Dick Jauron. Several scouts and personnel directors from around the league say Ngata is not a fit for the "Tampa Cover 2" style, because he is a 345-pound lineman whose strength is occupying two gaps on the line. Other observers feel the No. 8 overall pick is too early to draft the second best offensive tackle in the draft, USC OT Winston Justice. The Bills may need to turn their attention to the secondary or linebacker. Bills general manager Marv Levy would not comment specifically on Ngata or other defensive line prospects, but he acknowledged the nose tackle can't be solely a hole-plugger.

Two Words: Brodrick. Bunkley.

I'm really up on him too.
Ngata is more of a classic NT, which are hard to find. Someone with a 3-4 is going to love him.

That Guy 04-01-2006, 11:20 AM Dolphins | Team has private workout with S. Holmes
Sat, 1 Apr 2006 06:32:40 -0800
ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the Miami Dolphins held a private workout with Ohio State WR Santonio Holmes Friday, March 31. Holmes weighed in at 187 pounds, just one pound shy of his normal playing weight and that was important to note because teams had been concerned about Holmes' weight loss earlier this month. At his Pro Day workout March 9 on the Ohio State campus, Holmes had weighed just 179 pounds. Two weeks before that, at the NFL Combine sessions in Indianapolis, his official weight was 188 pounds. "I think what scouts didn't realize at the 'pro day' was that I had been fighting the flu for about a week," a relieved Holmes said after the session with Miami. In that workout Holmes was clocked between 4.32 and 4.36 seconds by most scouts. With Dolphins' general manager Randy Mueller throwing to him, Holmes reportedly caught the ball well at his workout with Miami.
