    Why bring in ngata for a visit if...

    he's supposedly not a fit for the new defensive scheme? It has been said he does not fit the scheme, but rather bunkley. Is it just a smokescreen or are they seriously considering drafting him and think he's actually a good fit?

    the people that say he is not a fit for the scheme havent read much or seen much of him.. he is a fast guy for a 340 pound guy. he CAN penetrate or he can hold the line and eat up gaps and take on double teams.

    he can do all of the things we would need from that dt spot.

    that is why they brought him in.

    Ah...

    I have not seem him play so I just go by the scouting reports.

    If he's the pick, I just hope he's the right one.

    He also lacks consistency and does not show up in big games. He wears down very quickly bc of his size and he does not have good technique. Which are two things that are premium with Bunkley, his stamina and his technique.

    Re: Why bring in ngata for a visit if...

    The whole point of a pre-draft interview is to find out if he fits into the scheme. This just validates that he is at least on the radar screen, nothing more IMHO.

    Re: Why bring in ngata for a visit if...

    Ngata is alot better then Bunkley. It's amazing how Ngata has gotten lowered because "he doesn't fit in our scheme". He does fit in our scheme. He's a monmouth DT who has been dominating at times. Sounds good to me. I'll take him over the "system guy".

    Bunkley is stronger, faster and is able to blow up the backfield more.

    i am not disputing what your saying.. but bunkley was a nobody before this year.. he was not even a full time starter before this year.

    and he is clearly a guy that improved his draft status because of the way he worked out.. i wouldnt go as far as calling him a workout warrior, but he is pretty damn close.. you could definately call him a one year wonder.

    Re: Why bring in ngata for a visit if...

    you know what is funny.. people are getting on ngata for being inconsistent, not showing up in big games, and wearing down.. it kind of makes me laugh.

    what 350lb DT in the entire league doesnt get tired after taking on double teams over and over again?

    and look at mario williams.. he is going to be a top 3 pick.. and he is the definition of inconsistent.. a few stat games followed by disappearing acts..

    he also had another 1st round Defensive lineman playing with him that teams had to focus on.. meanwhile, who did oregon have to take pressure off of ngata?

    Re: Why bring in ngata for a visit if...

    Show me anywhere in print that the BILLS Said that he doesn't fit their scheme. I have read we dont have to get a 350+ lb guy, but at no time have they said they didnt' WANT a 350lb guy. Anyone think that is our staff's way of BS'ing other teams?

    Ngata is a 340lb guy who is leaner than most 300lb linemen. He moves well, is strong and has a good attitude. Some say he might get lazy etc. That happens when you dominate the competition so bad you get bored.

    The kid has worked through losing his dad, then his mom after the bowl game. He wants to make something of himself to take care of his family, that is great character.

    I watched some show (I honestly can't remember) where someone from Cleveland said they have a card already with his name on it and if he is there it goes up immediately. Now I grant you Bunkley might make them consider him, but Green Bay, Cleveland, Buffalo and a few others in the top 15 alone have him highly on his list.

    My gut feeling is if Davis, Brick, Hawk, etc are gone as expected the Bills will try to trade down. If they do not it is between Huff and Ngata. Huff has the best long term value at the position but Ngata fits an immediate need. Levy preaches high character so much that Bunkley and Justice with there questionable past makes them a long shot to be drafted by a Levy team.

    I think the smart move is to trade down regardless. Yes even if Davis is there. If we can field 3 starters instead of 2 out of the first two rounds, then the TEAM is way ahead in the game.

    Re: Why bring in ngata for a visit if...

    Smokescreen! Gotta boost him up to the teams that wan't Ngata but are below us. It's a win win for us. Worst case scenerio we take him. I don't think there's any way we lose with our 1st pick this year. Don't forget, Marv is sheisty

    Could be a smokescreen too. The fins are bringin in almost every draft pick they would have to trade up for.

    Re: Why bring in ngata for a visit if...

    I agree it could be smokescreen. I know there is some teams that hope Ngata falls below the top 10 so they can scoop himup. Maybe we brought him in so other teams would be interested in trading up ahead of us to grab one of them and make one of the other players fall a slot further....I wouldn't put it past Marv or the F.O. to do that. Why not, if no one moves up and they liked him they take him. It is a win/win IMO.
