I just don't think Cox can throw the long ball. I commented several times during the last season about us not throwing long and noted that when we did the ball was consistently underthrown. I hope Cox gains some arm strength during Winter weorkouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUesquire 1 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I saw that Skyler Green was 3rd fastest. These are world class athletes getting ready to perform at the highest level. The fastest time is just over 4.3. So how reliable are all these times of high school kids we see reported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Nix, he has enough attributes to be a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUslug 1 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I've noticed it too, Cox doesn't seem to quite have enough umph in his arm for the long ball. I'm not bashing Cox either, he has plenty of other attributes that stand out other than his arm strength. Yeah, that poor secondary for UT is probably still waking up in cold sweats casue of Jason.

AUesquire 1 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 There was never any question about JC's arm strength but he didn't really start throwing a consistently good ddep ball until his senior season. Early on, he seemed to throw a very "flat" ball. It would get there but there was no air under it and defenders could get to it. Couple that with the fact that we just didn't go deep that much anyway under Nallsminger. BC has definitely been inconsistent with the longer throws, but I think that will certainly improve with more experience. Borges isn't shy about letting him heave it down field either.

mcgufcm 4,107 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 congrats to devin on getting PAID. you earned it big guy. and for the record i never, ever under any circumstance believe any report of a high schooler running a 4.2. that number gets thrown around sometimes (i remember some hog fan on here saying mcfadden and the other frosh tailback both clocked 4.2s), but it is always bogus. 5 or 6 guys in the history of the combine have turned in that number. 4.4 is a stretch in all but the rarest of cases in high school because even a speed demon like devin couldn't have done that without added strength over his college years. high school numbers are lies. also, i saw that stanley turned in a pretty solid 4.74 in the 40 if anyone is interested. they said the average number of defensive ends was a full tenth higher so that's pretty good.

one 2 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 THey are saying that McGlover ran a 4.65 on NFL.com. And to me that is actually unimpressive considering his size. I think he needed to blow people away with a 4.5 time to move up. Hall from NCstate ran a 4.4 and he is a little bigger than McGlover. Mario Williams from the same school,, 6'7 295, ran faster than McGlover. Not trashing him or anything, but I was a little dissappointed in that time for him. With his size he needed a really really fast time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is Hall from NC State? I'm guessing you're talling about Lawson, he ran a 4.45 but he is a known freak and he is also 240lbs (over 10lbs lighter than McClover). Mario Williams did not run faster, he clocked in at 4.66 but he too is a freak of nature. McClover ran faster than guys like Wimbley and Haralson, who were his main competition. He never had a chance to catch up to Williams or Lawson, so what they didn't shouldn't affect him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know where "Hall" came from. True too that comparing anyone to Mario is not fair. He is off the charts for a player his size. Which number was wrong? Were you talking about the fact that I had Mario at 4.65 instead of 4.66 or that I had Lawson at 4.4 instead of 4.45? I was just rounding a little!

metafour 4,969 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I think he was around 230lbs for the combine. What I didn't like was that he appearently isn'rt very high on a move to TE, I heard that he felt that he wouldn't work out well at TE, which isn't exactly what you want to hear out of a prospect that isn't any sort of lock. I doubt that Mix could play much WR in the NFL, but he'd be an intriguing prospect at TE given his specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
