Crouching Tiger 76 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 It is Lambert #6. My son and I sure thought it was 9, but we were wrong. From looking on search engines, it appears quite a few others missed it too. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson SG 88 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I've been thinking about this for a while. Look at previous DL #1 overall recruits in the country going to the SEC in the last few years, Clowney and Nkemdiche . They come in the league with trumpets blaring , they never miss a down and the squawking heads never stop talking about them. It is NOT because he is a freshman. Clowney and Nkemdiche had veteran defensive lines to support them. Clowney was second string and able to play opposite one ALL-SEC end and one of the top sack masters in the SEC who was also a quality Tackle. He also missed A LOT of downs, since he wasn't a starter, was uselsss in the Alabama game his freshman year, and got hurt and was out for a few games. Nkemdiche is a freak of nature who could play 3 positions coming out of high school and one of the very rare freshman to start at defensive end. You are just going to have to learn patience. It's very rare that a freshman can just step in and excel in the trenches. Even more so when the other parts of the line aren't clicking. I would lay odds that if Carl was out there, Byron would be coming along a lot faster as defenses would have to account for both of them. i agree. He is being outperformed by the other freshmen on our team(Holland specifically). He currently has 4 tackles through 6 games. Holland is playing an entirely different position. You can't compare apples to oranges. Uh, Nkemdiche was very pedestrian his freshman year. He was only a factor against terrible teams. Against top notch teams, Auburn included, he was bullied by offensive lineman. Nkemdiche had about the same stats through 6 games his freshman year as Cowart has. Now Clowney is a different story. He was a man among boys the moment he stepped on campus. Cowart is and will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,096 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Thank you. Nkemdiche was a good player as a freshman, but people had the same complaints about him. He wasn't putting up stats. He played some at DE and some at DT (switching permanently inside in the offseason). He was a solid player for Ole Miss, but he wasn't a gamechanger as a freshman. I'm wondering if Cowart, like Nkemdiche, would be more productive and more dynamic inside as opposed to DE. He has the frame for 20 more pounds. He's built a lot like (Nkemdiche showed up at Ole Miss at 6'5" 265; Cowart was 6'3" 275). It could certainly be an option on third downs to get an extra rusher on the field, but that's likely an offseason consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a man among boys the moment he stepped on campus. Cowart is and will be fine. Nkemdiche was OK as a freshman, but not all world. Lawson was good as a freshman, but not all world. All everyone has to remember is WHO is talking about how good these players are ... the same idiot announcers who can't state whether it was Cowart or Lambert who was in on the final play of the game last night. If everyone hasn't noticed by now, talking heads in the sports world are absolute morons with only one purpose ... to fill air with noise. If I recall, most people agreed that Clowney may have been one of the best recruits EVER coming out of high school. Even he was not much more than really good at times as a freshman.Hey, Crouching Tiger ... yall watching the game upside down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clowney and Nkemdiche were also on VASTLY superior defenses. When you can have favorable matchups vs being singled out as a threat, you usually succeed more.
