Will the Bears turn to Yannick Ngakoue again after he cost them $10.5 million and underperformed, or will they see what they need from a pass rusher in Austin Booker?
Former Bears defensive end Yannick Ngakoue posted another workout video to prove his ankle has healed following the Week 14 broken ankle he suffered last season.
Much was made about the "Sweat Effect," when Montez Sweat helped other defensive linemen and they were able as a group to get more heat to force bad throws for interceptions.Sweat had a 16.4% rate of pressure on pass rushes when Ngakoue was playing in Games 9-13. In the final three games, the Bears won twice and Sweat had only a 9.7% pressure rate on pass rushes. His total pressure rate was 13.2% for the year.
The assistance with edge pressure for Sweat is going to need to come from somewhere when Walker isn't in the pass rush. They need the rotational help."Length is a great advantage for every player on the field, especially a player on the edge," defensive coordinator Eric Washington said. "What it allows you to do is to advance and put that tackle under duress right now.
