Marty Hurney Apparently Lied About Fletcher Cox

[PantherBrew]

I only want Cox if its 9 or later, and he is black.

Travis Johnson was a 3 year underachiever at FSU before he blew up in his senior year. Cox has been a starter form day 1 at Miss State and had solid production for his 3 years. They are 2 different players.

College production = College production. Johnson was rated higher than Cox is at this point as well.

What makes you think he can't stop the run? He led Miss State in tackles for a loss last year.

I watched him get blown up by equal NFL level talent in college

Not saying that you didn't, but there are a lot more "experts" if you will that have him as the best defensive tackle in the class. I tend to lean toward their side.

Are you saying you watched Cox get blown? Not thats there is anything wrong with that.

That was horrible DT draft. Luis Castillo was the next best one and he wasn't picked until 28. Only 3 were pick in the whole 1st round. There is no way you are comparing that the 2005 class to this one are you.

I figured since I am not on the bandwagon I may as well join in on the jokes

he added to his credibility by giving bullshit to the Whackattack show.

No need to tell us. You can spot most Cox lovers pretty easily.

Thyats the same thing they told me in prison. :(

To bad they didn't teach you to spell. :)

Cox in our box would be kinda tight. Im licking it...i mean LIKING it.

If they pick Cox, then they are admitting that Rivera and Hurney blew it with McClain last year. You don't draft a guy at the 65th pick in the draft and then redraft another the next year unless you have a situation like we did with Clausen. Even then Newton was the number 1 pick in the draft and had huge upside. Cox really doesn't. Now if we had a chance to draft a Suh which is the DT version of Newton, then you do it in a heartbeat. I can't see where Cox provides so much more than a guy we can get in the second round. It we want pass rush both Ingram and Coples bring more to the table by far. At least with Williams and Stewart they waiting 2 years.

Cox had 5 sacks last year and 4 of those were in 2 games. (South Carolina and Kentucky) and 1 against Wake Forest. The other 9 games he had none. Add that he had a total of 3 quarterback hurries and you see a guy who pressured or got to the quarterback a total of 8 times in 12 games. Hardly the terrific pass rusher people are making him out to be.

Funny that Coples had 7.5 sacks and he is considered lazy and unmotivated but Cox has 5 and he has a high motor and never quits.

When you look at all our choices you get the sense that there is not that much to choose from really. Ingram brings the most to the table and by many accounts will be gone when we pick at 9.

You can not base talent on where a player is picked. I randomly picked 2005 because it gives enough time to find players who turned out to be busts. Cody and Babineaux were both better than Johnson and Castillo but this isn't what the draft experts said before the draft.
