I disagree. Primarily due to my reliance on the First Rule of Best Conferences Theorem.

Cox was an impact player and had to be double-teamed consistently in the S-E-C, the best college football conference in the land. And there was never any question about his "motor".

While Coples was playing Boston College and Virginia and Ohio State, Cox was playing Bama, LSU, and Florida.

Thus ends your lesson on the First Rule of Best Conference Theorem. ;)

So you think a rookie Cox wouldn't be exploited on first and 2nd downs in the NFL? I don't see him being able to hold up against the run as a rookie.

I mean we could bring in McClain on 3rd down passing situations.

No but in a JJ 43 if we run it....he is talented enough to make plays right away. More so than Cox

By the nature of the position, DE's naturally make more "plays".

Doesn't mean that a DT who can come in, fill a hole, and not be pushed around (even if he isn't making a tackle or getting sacks) isn't as or more valuable. A DT who can come in and do it all is preferable. But a DT who can come in and just STAND HIS GROUND is almost as valuable to the players who play behind him.

Cox is a beast and is strong as an ox. He sure as hell didn't get pushed around on a regular basis in the SEC. I don't see him getting pushed around in the NFL either.

Didn't play Florida in 2011 but he did play Bama and LSU. Stat line was 0 sacks, 2 solo tackles and 8 assists. It isn't who you play but how you play against who you play. First corrolary to your best conference theorem.

Cons: Hand technique is poor besides a bull rush doesn't have much else. Doesn't take on double teams well and can be washed out on plays. Plays too high, can be moved off the ball.

Plenty of DTs get pushed around as rookies. DT has proven to rarely be a spot you can plug rookies into. They need time. Not just 3rd rounders either. We have DTs developing and can bring in a vet when cuts start later on.

Cam needs improved D play. Improved in 2012. No DT worth the 9 pick. Class is deep. If you want to add a DT to the mix do it in round 2 and add a 2012 player at 9

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…

      I don't really care about your post at all. I just saw the direction of the discussion and this snippet from an article I read earlier in the day was a good spot to put non-Panthers info. I mostly don't care about the players personal lives. That's off the field/personal poo. Not really any of my business.  I also don't know him personally so what would be the point of congratulating him outside basically attempting to draw attention to myself like so many in the social media/internet realm.

      [Mina Kimes Show] The offensive trends taking over the NFL

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Everything goes in waves. As defenses geared up more to stop the passing game they've become more vulnerable to the run not to mention the added benefit that road grading run blockers don't command the crazy money that the dancing bear elite pass protectors do on the OL.
