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.

    • I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.
    • Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...
    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
