Jabril Cox = Bradie James

[Mookie]

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!

 

[Carson]

James was more of an inside thumper where as Cox is more finesse and can play the pass. Cox likely matches James career total of picks this season alone

 

[speedkilz88]

Bradie James couldn't cover.

 

[Yoshimitsu]

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

I’m excited to see what Cox can do, but Bradie James is irrelevant to that. Players over history who are drafted from the same school and play the same position aren’t somehow destined to be the same kind of player.

God I hope he's better than James.

Cox is Woodson if Woodson played in 2021

Hell nah!!! Bradie James was slow as shyt. Jabril is a whole different type player.

 

[AsthmaField]

Brodie was a box player, 100%. Cox is a space player with a real knack for getting the ball.

He isn’t nearly the run stopper that Bradie was but is 20 times better in coverage.

So really, you can’t compare much beyond their school, their round drafted and their position. It is a natural thing to do though, so no big deal.

If Cox can become sound in the run game, we could have found ourselves a football player. As it is, he’ll be valuable in the nickel/dime packages.

Only thing they have in common is they are linebackers from LSU.....

 

[big dog cowboy]

In todays pass happy league it's Cox > James.

 

[CoachD]

Bad Bad Bad comparison! James was a run stuffer who wasn't very good in coverage, Cox is great in space but not a banger!

No one is Woodson...But Woodson!

 

[Parcells4Life]

Cox is what Bruce Carter was hoped to be. Specialize in coverage.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Kevin Burnett is probably a better comparison

 

[Vanilla2]

I hope not

 

[RoboQB]

Bradley James will forever be etched in history as the LB running alongside Brandon Jacobs,
electing not to tackle the big NYG RB.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Bradie was too nice… So was Newman.. So was Spears.. so was Canty..So was Ellis. So was Ware. Ratliff was the only one with a attitude.

 

[OmerV]

God I hope he's better than James.

You say that like James wasn’t a good player, which is not accurate. Cox skill set is a little different - he’s more of a coverage guy and less against the run than James - but if the Cowboys get a player that can use his skills to have a similar impact as James had with his skills they will get good value out of a 4th round pick.

I agree, two complete opposite players, one excelled against the run (James), one excels at the pass (Cox). Just cause they went to the same school, doesn't mean they are similar players.
