Thought I'd bump this thread with something I noticed in one of the vids on the homepage. 

 

I'm excited about both of our new edge rushers and Ngakoue appears to possess a certain four letter trait we've been missing for some time at the position.  BEND

 

<i> </i>This gif is more an example of flexibility and lateral quickness if you want to get nit-picky and yes, it's just a dummy-drill,  but Yannick may be more slippery and athletic around the edge than anyone we've had on the roster for some time. I really like that he and Fowler look so different in their style of rushing. 

I'm really excited about Fowler and expect him to earn most of the LEO reps, but Yannick may just surprise us in his opportunities this season.  Check out how low his inside shoulder gets in this drill and how quickly he accelerates out of that position. Pretty impressive, IMO. 

 

Bradley also made comments after minicamp that while there were no pads they may have underestimated his ability against the run as he looked better in those situations than they anticipated.
