Yannick Ngakoue wasn’t concerned with his sack total Jacksonville Jaguars Pro Bowl defensive end Yannick Ngakoue picked up his first sack of the season in the team’s 31-12 win over the New York Jets. Ngakoue was in the backfield on a lot of passing downs pressuring and putting hits on Jets rookie Sam Darnold http://www.thejaguarsfootballauthentic. ... -authentic , but he didn’t pick up his first sack of the season until later in the game.I’d been asked a lot if something was wrong with Ngakoue and if he was playing poorly or something because he’d yet to get a sack, but just like I was not worried about it neither was Ngakoue.“You know, it’s a great feeling. As an edge rusher, I try to tell other guys you can’t get frustrated,” Ngakoue said after the game when asked about picking up his first sack. “The guy that holds the single season sack record of NFL history is Michael Strahan and the first four weeks of that season he didn’t even get a sack. So, you should never be discouraged. As an edge rusher, you should just keep rushing and it’ll come to you.” As mentioned http://www.thejaguarsfootballauthentic. ... -authentic , Ngakoue was in the Jets backfield most of the day and hit Darnold quite a few times. I was kind of surprised he didn’t get flagged for roughing the passer considering how the NFL has calling them, but as I’ve stressed multiple times, there’s a lot more to being a pass rusher than just sacks, though it was nice to see Ngakoue finally register one.Through the first three weeks of the season Nagkoue has been near the top of the NFL in quarterback hurries, but just hadn’t hit home yet. He was still making quarterbacks uncomfortable, forcing incompletions and even a some turnovers with his pressures. The key to being a good passer rusher is getting that consistent pressure, and like Ngakoue said http://www.thejaguarsfootballauthentic. ... -authentic , the sacks will come. The Jacksonville Jaguars have seen wide receiver Allen Lazard and running back Bo Scarbrough claimed by other teams to their 53-man active roster.The team has signed rookie fullback Dimitri Flowers and rookie wide receiver Jordan Veasy to replace them.It makes total sense to let Rashad Greene take up a spot on the 53-man roster over giving Lazard a chance (and security with the team if he was better than Greene) in a lost year where you’re giving backups snaps in the name of roster analysis.Oh wait, no it doesn’t.Anyway, Flowers played collegiately at Oklahoma from 2014 to 2017 and appeared in 53 games with 32 starts, totaling 151 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 36 carries and 886 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns on 54 catches. After going undrafted, Flowers spent time with the New York Jets before a one-day stint on the Jaguars’ practice squad in October.Veasy played collegiately at the University of California, Berkeley (Cal) after stints at Golden West College, Itawamba Community College http://www.thejaguarsfootballauthentic. ... -authentic , and Faulkner University. During two seasons at Cal, he caught 63 passes for 797 yards and nine touchdowns. After going undrafted in 2018, Veasy spent part of the offseason with the Tennessee Titans.The Jaguars currently have 10 players on their practice squad.
