Some Film Comments On Poe, Cox.

Recommended Posts

Watched multiple games of Fletcher Cox, and to be honest my feelings haven't changed too too much about him. He's a great athlete. Cox cont: lots of pass rush potential. He was so light in 2011, I know he's gotten bigger/stronger which is good. Got pushed around a LOT. Cox played 0, 1, 3, and 5 technique in 3 Gs. Looked best from the 5. Showed great ability to bend. Motor was good at times, great at others. Don't know if Cox is a Day 1 starter in NFL tho. Needs to improve technique (pad level/hands, etc). Needs to show he can hold up at POA, That being said - he shot gaps very well, showed ability to bend, and is a great talent overall. Definitely 1st Rounder to me.

Watched 3 games of Dontari Poe...first one against Miss State and he was AWFUL. Very tough to watch at points. On the ground a LOT. Poe's motor is almost non-existent. He doesn't play with a lot of urgency. He's caught off balance way too often, all that said, he has great feet, like GREAT feet. He runs the hoop well. Played more 5-Tech than I though he did and looked good off edge, I think Poe's far from a sure thing. He plays with decent pad level, has a couple of go-to moves as a pass rusher but is still very raw.

Yeah I wanted him at 1st but as you look at him closer there are a lot of negatives. I wouldn't mind him if we draft him because that means Hurney thinks he will work to harness his tremendous athleticism. All I want in the draft anymore is guys with work ethic that are good athletes I don't really care about the hype (whether College or Combine hype).

I said this last week: Poe will not go in the first round.

Oh he'll go in the first round alright. I wouldn't agree with that move but someone's gonna fall in love with his athleticism and take that big risk. He's just part of a long line of raw athletic freaks that will get selected in the first round.

I quite like this guy's analysis though. Cox may be the safest of all these top DT's. I would be happy with him with our first rounder.

    • Have to stop making everything about BY. They will and have been bringing in players to improve the TEAM, not just Bryce Young. Which is something they should have done BEFORE bringing in a rookie QB. Even Metchie is a generally good pickup at a position of need. He just happens to have played with BY in college. And that doesn't hurt his chances or the team's. Morgan just addressed the biggest areas of need on the team via free agency so they won't be reaching for a position of need in the draft. He's legit picking the best player available for the TEAM in the draft. The o-line was in shambles in 2023. He addressed it in 2024. The d-line was in shambles in 2024. He addressed it in 2025. The pass rush and linebackers were in shambles in 2025. He's addressed it in 2026. Unfortunately good young WRs don't hit the FA market, so can't just throw money at them. You have to draft them. I wonder what some would be saying if they'd spent the amount of cap on the offense that they spent on the defense in 2025 and 2026 - and then used both first round draft picks on defense. Would that have been better in your eyes? No. You would be complaining that the defense is too young to compete and more vets weren't brought in because they're trying to prop up BY. This team should be talented enough now to make some noise in the South. If BY is actually holding them back, then QB will be addressed in 2027. They benched him 2 games into their tenure and you think they're tied to his success. No. That doesn't compute. They're tied to the team's success. BY could throw for 5000 yards and if they're 4 - 13, head's will roll.  TLDR: Their decisions aren't driven by making BY look good. They're trying to improve the team and win games. Period. 
    • I still firmly believe that Tepper still has his mandate of make Bryce work or get fired and because of that, it doesn't matter how badly he does... He'll get a long term deal in the 40-50m range and set back this franchise for a decade. Then the Teppers will have another QB infatuation and maybe they get it right then.
