Bye to Cox

[Coogiguy03]

I give on him, maybe he'll go to the Giants and have big games against us. He's just not cutting it, please give your thoughts

Yeah, I have seen nothing from him. But we don't really have anyone else. Could we actually only keep 3 true LB's and maybe Land as a 4th even though he is more of a pass rusher? Or just go with 3 and look for someone on the waiver wire? I mean, we keep LVE and Clark, most likely Harper but I am not sure we have another LB worth keeping.

why would the Giants want him?

You’re going to need at least 1 more body in there.

Parsons = moves around.
LVE, Clark = starters
Harper = depth/special teams

Land is a little light at the moment to be a full time LB. Love the upside

People talked him up as a coverage LB in college. My question is was he a legitimately good coverage LB, or did he create some TO's that he wasnt going to he able to in thw NFL

I was just posting about this. Jabril just doesn't have it. I also expected more from Simi Fehoko. But nada... We have to upgrade there, and those two are addition by subtraction.

Maybe they go for another trade or free agent there. I don't know. But I do know it isn't going to be Cox.

They likely bring in a player released or roll with Malik Jefferson

Glad they’re going to keep Harper instead of Cox. I’ve liked Harper since they got him… and I haven’t liked Jabril since they drafted him.

 

[Praxit]

..from what I heard last year. Cox was the man for 23'. I guess, that went out the window.

Agree with the forum here. We all had high hopes for Cox and he just didn't show enough IMO. Maybe find an upgrade after cuts?

It appears the ACL injury Cox suffered midway into his rookie season stunted his progress (phyiscally and/or mentally) to remain on the team.

Maybe so…but I didn’t like him coming out of that draft. Good in coverage but he wasn’t physical, didn’t seem to be instinctive for the position, and was sub par against the run. People (and draft sites) were talking about him as a 2nd round pick, which I thought was kind of crazy. When Dallas drafted him in the 4th, I thought that I could live with getting him that late… but I still didn’t like his game.

My point in all that is that I didn’t really like him as a prospect or a player, long before he tore his ACL. I’m sure messing up that knee (and as you mentioned, him having to mentally recover too) didn’t help matters, for sure.

I just like Harper much more as a player. He’s athletic but plays a more physical brand of football. He appears to enjoy the contact more than Jabril.

Just my take on it.

They most likely will cut him and then maybe stash him on PS. There are 32 other Jabril cox's around so even if poached to someones active roster it doesnt scare me .

He might be safe in that we just don't have an alternative. He hasn't been litting up the field though.
