It's not that I don't think Cody will be a good player in the NFL, I just don't think he'd be the right choice at #32. Here are my reasons: 1) He's a fat slob, and fat slobs don't tend to all of a sudden get their skinny on. He obviously has some motivation right now to lose 15 pounds because he can make millions of dollars. However, once he gets his money, something tells me that he'll go back to his fat-assedness (not that he's really departed from his ways). 2) We can debate all you want, but I'm telling you as simply as I can, a guy who is as big as Cody is fits better in a 3-4 defense. Can he play a 4-3? Probably. But a 4-3 requires a little more speed. A nose tackle in a 3-4 requires a guy who can eat space. If we're going to pay a guy first-round money, I want to make sure he's going to be a good fit for our defense. 3) We just won a Super Bowl, so we obviously don't have too many holes. I say we just build depth and take the best player available. I think there will be some good OLBs there and probably some DEs. I think Cody is a stretch. |

"Who's these we paying first-round money"? English please. |

Re: Mount Cody..2nd rounder?
in a league where the spread offense dominates(pass offense) a run stuffing DT started for one of the better defenses in the nation

you are tellin me that there isnt a single thing that terrence cody could help us with? now im no doctor...but the 21st ranked run defense isnt going to scare anybody...like i said before.....we know why our pass defense struggled....because jabari greer and tracy porter missed time well why did our run defense struggle? which leads me to your next point....dont smoke crack
oh and we lost our starting LB, DE, possibly FS, and we have yet to find a consistant NT to play opposite sedrick ellis now i know we are the perfect team and cant possibly get any better because we won the super bowl after 44 years of disappointment......but wtf are you talking about |

a position is not defined by what is written on paper.....a position is defined by the player that plays it and the coach that coaches it why wouldnt a big guy help in a 4-3 that blitzes as much as a 3-4? after all, that is the main reason that the DTs are so big right? |

Re: Mount Cody..2nd rounder?
Cody was pretty dominate in college. My problem with him is he wont be able to stay on the field long enough. The guy has to improve his cardio.... for those who have seen "Zombie Land" you will know what I mean when I say.he needs to follow RULE #1....lol

Here's your argument: You: "this apple is rotten". I (using proper first noun here, uh?):"Why do think this apple is rotten? You: "What part of 'this apple is rotten' you don't understand?" In other words, what I am asking is: why is it that a tackle in a 4-3 needs to be "a little more mobile"? And what exactly is it you mean by "a little more mobile"? Is it like saying a woman is "a little pregnant"? Or like saying "missed it by that much"? |
