Will Alabama's Cody be a mountain of a bust?

TheDeuce · 04-19-2010, 11:20 PM

I think there is a need at DT on this team, but not for Cody.

Trust the NFL scouts, not Canton and his wildly unfounded comments. He is "before his time" and "will be dominant...regardless of how much he weighs"? Really? Most everything I've read is that he's a huge man who fits as a nose tackle in a 3-4 defense and that there are serious concerns about conditioning, ability to stay healthy, and quickness. And I'd be cautious about touting him as a great college player. He was a 2X All-American, but I honestly think that's solely because he's circus freak big. In 2008 he had 24 tackles and half a sack. That's All-American worthy? Really? In 2009, he had 28 tackles. He doesn't have great production, doesn't play many plays, has weight issues, injury concerns, speed/agility concerns.... get the picture? This would be one of the worst picks ever.

This just just in.."Cody eats personal trainer"...details at 10..lol

Cody doesn't fit in the defensive system in New Orleans. Then again, he doesn't quite fit in his uniform, either.

lol lookin at stats for DTs again? i guarantee mcclain gets drafted in the first....but it definitly isnt because he made plays.....mcclain had a solid year because of cody

instead of looking at codys stats....look at the LBs stats

he impacts every play regardless of whether he makes the tackle or not

serious concerns about conditioning? he gets mauled by 2 men every play that average about 300 lbs......you expect him not to get winded when he is beating up 2 guys that are over 300 lbs every single play?

the defensive system last year was......letting everybody run all over us

our pass defense suffered because of injury....our run defense suffered because of personel.....we play in possibly the only conference left in football where most of the teams are run first teams

cody provides a huge need not only as a run stopper, but also taking on blockers to free up blitzers

why doesnt he fit the system? we blitz a lot....cody keeps blockers off of our blitzers......we struggle against the run....cody stops the run up the middle

im worried that you guys have no idea what our defense needs

I figured it out! Canton is sleeping with Terrence Cody, and he likes when Mount is on top.

That's the only mention of bust he'll get in his career!can't get in canton eaten trainers that's for sure!!

You're right the passrush was decent at times but i'd like us to build for the future especially on the DE position. We don't really have any young guy there that we can develop.

SmashMouth · 04-20-2010, 07:13 AM

Ok ... so why can we not get him in the second round? Let's get Weaterspoon or Kindle in the first.

Cruize · 04-20-2010, 07:48 AM

He's not worth the first round risk. And when it's all said and done, he will be nothing more than a guy in someones DL rotation. Solid but never close to being a star.

Let's just put it this way, my wife is an AVID Charger fan. They play a 3-4 defense and lost Jamal Williams, so they DESPERATELY need a NT. She wants no part of him. That's all I had to hear.
