Odrick in the first and Chad Jones in the second wouldn't be bad!

Nevertheless, I don't want a player on my team that is motivated entirely by the money to drop weight. So what happens when he gets the money in his pocket like Tub Ass Sullivan. He has no more incentive to stay in shape. No thanks. Vonte Davis had character issues, not weight issues. With a veteran team like the Saints I will take a flyer on a player with exceptional skills and MINOR character issues over a player who has shown he can't keep his weight under 360 LBS. Those players don't last in this league. |

every player has a downside or something negative about them but its about looking at the upside cody played hard and well in college and he was considered overweight by many people......but maybe he is just a giant person......people are slowly getting taller and heavier and cody might just be the jim brown of the era. im not sure where you get the idea that he cant keep his weight under 360......he didnt play at 360 in college......only at the senior bowl did he show up out of shape because the season was over....and he still played well football players get motivated by playing the game, not getting the paycheck.....my point was that after he realizes his job is to play football and be good at football he will continue to strive for success. 2 or 3 players in a 44 year history of a team is enough to prevent a team from picking a talented player that could dominate for his entire career? i dont think so |
Re: 2010 NFL Draft
In a 4-3, the nose tackle isn't two-gapping. He's asked to shoot through the gap and penetrate the backfield. As a defensive tackle gets older, he loses the ability to run. In a 3-4, the nose tackle is more of a wrestler. Strength is more important than leg speed for a two-gapping nose tackle.
This is the reason that Cody will not be a Saint next year. I really don't know how else to explain this to you. Also, Saints opponents are always playing from behind because our offense is so good. Therefore, we need DT's that can rush the passer, which Cody cannot do. It's a new NFL Canton. Stopping the run and running the ball are the old school way of winning. Rushing the passer, passing the ball, and defending the pass are the new school way. The pick will be DE, DT with rush capabilities or Athletic OLB that can defend the pass. Think Sean Witherspoon. |

many of our blitzes were picked up because our defensive linemen were not able to control more than 1 blocker at a time which is the sole assignment for a true NT. Cody demands more double teams than any other defensive lineman in college because of his size alone, not to mention his freakish agility for being so big. Quote:
look at teams like the rams, panthers, falcons, dolphins, and cowboys running may not win games like it used to, but it sure as hell keeps our offense off the field Quote:
which LB are we going to replace? and why would we want to replace starters like fujita or shanle when we have bigger issues like NT and DE |
Re: 2010 NFL Draft
Look, you eval the best player available...
We've a great coach and coaching staff that unlike the Mora Years, they will devise the best scheme around the talent we have... And not lament that we don't have a two-gap defensive end that can provide pass coverage and kick extra points... But we've got to draft talent that loves the game (i.e. Hughes)... That's all I am saying, my brothers... |
