Super Sized

The Ravens appeased everyone with their first round pick of Haloti Ngata, everyone except for ESPN’s Mark Schlereth. The former offensive lineman ripped the Ravens for their pick of Ngata because according to Schlereth Ngata takes off plays and lacks motivation. TV 11 Sports Director Gerry Sandusky saw Schlereth’s view as narrow. Sandusky explaining it’s easy to confuse someone taking off a play with someone who doesn’t rush the passer well. Makes sense.

The key is Baltimore’s draft not only filled the direct hole at defensive tackle, it makes Ray Lewis happier, and therefore the locker room’s a better place in which to work.
