James was like Zhukov.
Cox is like Von Manstein.

James was a oldschool thumper LB..Cox is the more modern pure cover linebacker. I can envision him playing a little safety too. He is very fluid and watching him early on in these last couple days, he has quicks and ball instinct. Call me crazy, the dude looks like a safety to me that happens to play linebacker. Am I the only one seeing this stick out like a sore thumb?

God I hope he's better than James.

Do you mean overall or in coverage?

James was a good run stopping linebacker imo, especially for was he was drafted.

Both 4th Round picks, both linebackers, both from LSU, both Big and tall LBers, Bradie of course had a wonderful career with us. Is it me or is this guy very exciting to have in our roster? Give him #56!

Finally something positive. Thanks!

They’re both black too. After that the comparisons completely stop. 2 completely different players.

Completely opposite skill sets.

BJ: Thumper that couldn't cover.
JC: Great in coverage for a LB. Question marks are all with regards to run defense.

Poor comp, both may play same position but are completely different players.

Wasn’t there a running joke after Kitna with the Lions made lite of his coverage abilities during a press conference!

Bad comparison imo. I couldn't tell you how many times i cursed the tv because he couldn't cover.

Everything other than both playing at LSU at the LB position, is totally opposite when comparing these two players.

Four pages in we've come to a broad consensus and emphatic conclusion:

Bradie James ≠ Jabril Cox

We want to thank all participants. Parting gifts at the door.

I haven’t read through the thread but I’m sure you’ve been told that the only similarities they have is the school they went to.

Bradie James was getting to where he was a liability in the era he played in.. He’d struggle in today’s game.

Cox can run and he can cover. He may struggle against the run early on but he’s a big safety at linebacker.

I guess there's some truth to that but I've seen Cox make some very good tackles. He's not known for it, though. Interesting . . .

Better comparison, Darren Woodson, a undersized linebacker in college that could cover moved to safety, that's where Cox belongs..

True enough but he was an extremely physical safety at 6-1 and 219 lbs. I'm recalling all the times I've seen him splatter people!

Cox is 6-3, 233, which is more in line with what an NFL LB should be. Pound for pound, it's pretty tough to compare with Woody!

Bullflop · May 17, 2021

I believe Jabril Cox will carve out his own success story as a LB but in a dissimilar way that Bradie James did.
Both are reasonably good in their own right, though. Both of 'em have a very different type of skill sets! :thumbup:

Bradie James played on some bad cowboy teams.

I disliked Bradie James, his lack of mobility and cover skills.

adbutcher · May 17, 2021

Simply, No.

atlantacowboy · May 17, 2021

Why limit him to Brady James? Its preseason! He's a combo of Ray Lewis and Ronnie Lott.

JW82 · May 17, 2021

yes they both went to LSU...
