And move Ratliff from a position where he has been dominant? Why?

We have way bigger needs.

Ratliff will be even more dominant with a Nose Tackle in the middle and he coming off the end one-on-one to the Quarterback. I believe Ratliff will have a result of more sacks.

Ratliff already said he doesn't want to change positions.

Based on what? Tackles are usually better in pass protection than the interior. His quickness is perfect for the inside.

Because Couch GMs and Coaches know more than he does, the coaching staff do, and those who praise him as the best NT in the game do.

Ratliff is so fast out of his stance that the center is at a slight disadvantage with one hand between his legs delivering the snap and the other coming up off his knee. Moving him over the guard/tackle negates the speed advantage.

The tackles block the OLB in the 34.

Actually it depends on both the offensive and defensive formations, especially when you factor in zone blocking/blitzing.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I like the kid, for sure, but it's a wasted pick here cause it would be stupid to remove Ratliff from his position where he's absolutely great.

 

[YosemiteSam]

What I love most about Ratliff at NT is that he along with Spencer and Ware on the ends, creates a triangle of death.

When you have two edge rushers, the QB is taught to step up in the pocket. If you also have pressure coming from the inside, it forces chaos in the pocket. (see McNabb in the last two Philly games)

You apply pressure from 3 position on the line, it is an extremely bad thing for offensive that tend to hold on to the ball longer. (Like Philly who depends on the big play)

Keep Ratliff at NT. With Spencer and Ware on the edge, it's extremely beneficial for the Cowboys defensive pressure.

 

[Doomsday101]

I keep Ratliff where he is at there in no quicker route to the QB than right up the middle and Ratliff does that better than any NT in the game. I have no problem getting a player to sub in for Ratliff with a later draft pick, but no way do I move him to DE in the 3-4

I sorry I rather se us take DT Brian Price he just big, more domanate, and plays alot more steadt Eddie then Cody.

 

[Doomsday101]

Only downside with Cody and players like him is they tend to eat themselves out of the game. Yes you want the big body to plug up the middle but you still have to keep your weight under control.

 

[Rampage]

could Cody play DE?

At 365lbs? I don't think so. He is absolutely massive. (think BIGG Davis) He will be a NT in the league.

It's easy to say that but name one of his Caliber.

Hiloti Ngata is listed at 6'4 345 though he's a pretty fast and agile dude for his size.

So was Larry Allen. He ran a 4.6 40 at 320lbs! :laugh2:

I like Cody all I'm saying is you are dealing with a guy who was up to 380 Bama coaches got on him about his weight. He is currently listed at 365 however people who have covered Alambama games highly doubt he is 365.

Great prospect but yes I would have some concerns that he is a guy who if not careful and pushed could easily eat himself out of the league. Many things you can get away with doing in college that do not fly in the NFL.


Some pro scouts, however, are concerned about Cody's weight and say he needs to be down to 340 pounds in order to be an effective NFL player. They have questioned whether he has the stamina to be a three-down player, or the quickness to be an effective pass rusher, at his college weight of about 360 pounds.[27][76][77] ESPN′s K. C. Joyner analysed Cody's relative playing time in a four-game SEC stretch in October 2009 (at Kentucky, at Mississippi, vs. South Carolina, vs. Tennessee), and found that Cody was in the Alabama defensive lineup on only 122 of 281 plays.[78] But Joyner also found that Cody drew an impressively high amount of double-teams (63.6 percent, compared to Albert Haynesworth's 2007 double-team mark of 51.3 percent) in that span.[78]
