Yannick Ngakoue Not Returning

[Coltsalr]

“We lost Yannick Ngakoue,” Bradley said, via Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star. “He was a tremendous player for us. That’s the NFL. There’s some times you bring new guys in, and they have to step up, and every year’s a new year with the team.”

I'd say I'm perfectly fine with this (I'd certainly disagree he was a "tremendous player for us") but all the same, it represents another failed attempt at getting a pass rusher and one that still hasn't been corrected.

No surprise there.

Quarterback and pass rusher are the two hardest things to find and the two things Ballard hasn't nailed yet. Pass rusher is even harder than quarterback in my opinion to find.

Would have been very surprising if we re-signed Yannick after signing Ebukam.

he was fucking terrible

I agree, he did nothing in my eyes, yes he got a few sacks, but most of those were not due to something special that he did himself and even Ben Banogu may have got the same production, if he was given the same chances. He wasn't creating anything close to havoc for offensive tackles, and was a complete liability against the run.
