God it's hard to tell anything in this offense, Loof.  Excruciating in fact.....

Way more potential than folks around here realize he has. 

I like him, I think he could lose a little weight and gain some speed though! Glad he didn’t flame out before he got his chance.

I'd take for an Eric Smith type anytime... especially with ES's attitude. 

Attitude?

Maybe I’m just partial to the big guys but I really like him.

Almost costed us big in the NC.

Just one of many personal fouls he accumulated as a player at auburn.

Miller appears to be a powerful but slower runner than his current fellow RB's. There's a place for him, just as there was a place for Eric Smith. I don't see that place being our starting, 25 carry a game RB.

I thought you were a linebacker evaluator? If you’re gonna branch out and start critiquing running backs you need to update your profile.

I don’t necessarily agree. He was super passionate and motivated. He just had severe anger control issues that caused problems both on and off the field.

Is this real life?

I get what Friction is saying and I also get your confusion.

Yes, Smith was a crappy boyfriend and not necessarily the classiest opponent on the field. However, I bet his teammates and coaches loved what he brought to the team. I bet he was hungry and coachable and dependable. I bet he'd be the first guy they'd want in a foxhole with them. I bet they saw the occasional PF as an extension of his passion and grit. 

Do we want a guy exactly like Eric Smith on the team? Maybe not. Do we want a guy who plays football exactly like Eric Smith on the team? Hell yeah, I do.

He was a mean, nasty SoB.  Absolutely the guy you want in a fight.

I was hoping Cox would be that guy. Hard to tell how close or far off he is in this offense, though. 

Cox is a great kid (young man, whatever) - he's going to try his best to put you on your butt while the play is going but once the whistle blows he's your best friend again. LOL

Seems like that didn’t stop off the field either.

It sure didn't.  I'll take a little nasty attitude on my team.

Me too. You can take the kid with the nasty attitude and help him channel it in a way that helps the team, but you can't create that attitude in a kid who doesn't have it.

Reminds me of the Blind Side movie - Oher already had that aggressiveness on the field. He didn't have it coached into him by his adopted family like the movie portrayed.

There's a lot wrong with that movie.

I don’t know that I want another player like him though. He had some ugly incidents including with an Auburn student.

Yeah I don't necessarily mean him. Point was you can't coach nasty.

Got chewed out by Leigh Ann Tuohy one time. She's definitely not afraid to speak her mind. They got that part right.
