Guest Sores Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Haloti Nagata, defensive tackle, Oregon John Lombardi, a former NFL scout and grandson of Packers legend Vince Lombardi, reports on Haloti Nagata, a 6-foot-5, 338-pound defensive tackle from Oregon who is coming out as a junior: "A big, powerful man who is almost impossible to move off the ball. He will clog up the middle and has the agility to make plays to either side of him. Looks big, not fat. Stamina should not be a problem for him, because he is not a sloppy guy. Uses low center of gravity, balance and strength to tie up two blockers and create a dead zone on the offensive line. Teams have to run away from him, because they cannot run over him. Did not see much pass rush impact in the Holiday Bowl, but he was double teamed on every play. Almost seemed satisfied to tie up two blockers and would just sit there. Does not always chase with the effort I would want on plays outside. Got hurt in the bowl game but media reports say it was just a bruise. Blew his knee out in the first game of 2003, but did not see any issues related to it this year. Assuming the injuries check out, he will go early. Family issues forced him to declare for the pros and his mother just died in mid-January. There are very few guys with his size, strength and agility, so he will be a hot prospect come draft day.

Bengal Mania Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I thought this was a post about Jewish music. But since this board is mostly dominated by separatists, you should take your religious indoctrination and go rejoice and be glad in another forum.

Swiss Cheezhead Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 He'd be great at NT in a 3-4, but he might not be active enough to play in some 4-3 schemes. Either way, he's a high-character guy and he'll be a starter in the NFL for a long time, just based on his size, strength, and work ethic.

Guest Sores Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Why would you be that shocked? 1328463[/snapback] Because the teams that pick 1-7 have more pressing needs and or want to sell more tickets than a DT would bring them.
