Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I really wanted guy to be that third monster on the DL, he should realistically have been at least Marlon’s level but it’s always something here. Hope he ends up with an opportunity like Cowart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something broke down and I suspect it is not football related. Yeah he was really good in 2018. Thought he was going to break out this year. Imagine our d line this year had he taken that step forward instead of back. Scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,876 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Coe is a huge example of what could’ve been. He just never reached his potential with consistency, although he showed flashes of brilliance at times. Good luck in your future endeavors NC!

auburnphan 6,050 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Coe was the victim of consequence, IMO. Remember the d staff was so high on him out of fall camp he was listed as a starter at a created position. His position is end and the staff tried to make him into a hybrid of sorts. Davison was finally healthy and earned his snaps. The added weight slowed his quickness and his effectiveness when he did get snaps. It was an experiment to get him on the field more and increase his flexibility for the draft that failed unfortunately. Wish him nothing but the best.

If he comes back, there's a chance to be the guy on the D line next year and really up his stock. Good luck to him, but someone gave the kid bad advice here. I didn't get his whole season. Something definitely going on with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coe's case is different. It appears he's sick of playing football, period and he's been acting like his heart isn't in it since mid-season or slightly before. While I don't think much of someone's decision to skip out on their team mates at a bowl game, I question how much good Coe would do us if he simply doesn't want to play.

Let's ask Christian McCaffrey. I mean, he sat out his bowl game and is only one of the best all around running back in the league. But surely he was scared of those big, bad NFL guys since he didn't play in the Sun Bowl, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue he didn't want to risk injury in the bowl game and that's totally cool. There are several examples of guys playing in bowl games, getting hurt, and costing themselves tens of millions of dollars due to lost draft position. I've argued before: any player that wants to sit out a non-playoff bowl is fine with me. Their college teammates nor anyone associated with his University is paying for the player's lost wages if he gets hurt. At some point in every person's life, you have to look out for #1 first. When there's that much money on the line, I can't blame anyone for putting themselves and their family first. Sometimes fans let emotions get in the way of thinking rationally. Put yourself in the position of someone like McCaffrey. There's a guaranteed $xx millions of dollars waiting on you as long as you don't get hurt in one game where team can't win anything of significance anyway. You have the option of not playing that game. Deep down, when faced with the decision for that kind of money, what would you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith is the biggest example. He was a consensus Top 3 pick before his injury in the Fiesta Bowl. Fell to the 2nd round. That fall cost him about $20M. Butt arguably had his career ruined. He got drafted by the Broncos in the 5th, despite being a projected 2nd rounder. However he's never fully gotten back from his injury and can't stay on the field. Nick Bosa got hurt in his final year at Ohio State and said "screw it". Didn't even try to come back. The decision paid off and he was drafted 2nd overall to the tune of $33.5M. Mackenzie Alexander was a projected 1st rounder. Got hurt in the bowl, fell down to late 2nd round. His is a little different because it happened in the National Title Game, so no chance he was sitting that out. Still cost him a lot of cash though. Another way to look at this. We don't bat an eye when a coach at a smaller school leaves his team before the bowl to take a more lucrative job. The understanding here is that they need to recruit at their new gig. Why are we holding players to different standards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
