Marty Hurney Apparently Lied About Fletcher Cox

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.

It's cool that you don't like Cox as our top pick and all, but at least support it with factual information. C'mon man, I don't know where you pulled this statistic from, but I counted 30 QB pressures in just 3 games I looked at.. the guy probably had 80 QB pressures on the year.

The choices may be there but are not obvious to me.There is just not that dominate pass rusher in this years draft that is a 3 down player.No Von Miller in this years draft

Panther55 ..i should've said instead of dt maybe de. I guess it all depends on the type defense we will run. We still have Edwards and Mclain/Fua and Keiser. All are still looking to make an impact on the team. Hogan is our #2, is it good to have one more with falcons and bucs doubling down on their recievers? I think so. I look at our first two picks as starting def picks. But i have no insider knowledge or "sources", strictly opinion.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
