Justin Cox ran a 4.37**
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
When we lost him, our defense suffered a little bit. When Market went down, too, we were in trouble.
A lot of negativity on 247, but I'm sure he gets drafted now
Based upon the posted results of the combine, Cox is showing out in all the drills except the 20-yard shuttle where he's like 10th, but he leads the 60-yd shuttle. Folks on 247 are saying he still doesn't get drafted, but I think he just assured that he does. The one thing that can't be taught is speed and size. He has the speed and size to be a tall corner or a light safety. Even with his off-the-field issues, I see him going 4th round. There is too much need for speed and right now he's the fastest safety and the 2nd fastest DB overall at the combine.

Good write-up. Just being at the combine means that you'll probably be drafted somewhere unless you have a glaring deficiency. The more events you end up as a top-performer, you move up the board.
With the lack of quality DB's, Cox is in the 2nd day discussion.

He only made one mistake....yes a big one....but the charges were dropped......the nfl has shown they have a short memory.
Yeah, and that's a tough decision to make. You're in a conference title hunt and CFB playoff birth, and we're talking about you're best player at your thinnest position.
Look at the **** sandwhich Bucky is willing to deal with at QB.

What're everyones
thoughts on the school using him to market our team on the various social media forums?

Yes. I'm speaking
to the fact that we are using a guy that's been in legal troubles a number of times to promote our program.
This is nothing like what Kiffin does. Kiffin just perpetuates a lie. Two completely seperate situations.

I agree 100%. Without Cox or Market, we were vulnerable to deeper passes over the middle, our safeties weren't as aggressive against the run, and despite that fact, they missed tackles that led to big gains on the running game. It clearly wasn't the sole cause ... it coincided with getting way too conservative offensively ... but our defense suffered big time.
By your definition, our safety play sucked all year, we were just good enough to overcome it except for the last two games. Losing Cox would have hurt regardless, but it only killed us only because we also lost Market. For whatever reason, Cox (the above average NFL quality athlete) and Market (the barely SEC quality athlete) seemed to be about equally effective. Not sure it would have been enough, but I think we might could have survived the Egg Bowl if Market hadn't gone down.
Really
What other things have you heard that he got in trouble for? Please do tell.

So your saying using Greg hardy's pic on twitter is not the same. I think hardy may have been involved in a battery case
I didn't think
about Hardy being on Kiffin's profile, I guess, but hasn't it been up there since before he got in his recent trouble?
Frankly, I don't care what they do, I'm speaking to what MSU does. I just thought it was odd that we were pimping him, after the knowledge of his transgressions.

I agree w Coach66. Not having Cox may have cost us the Egg Bowl. OM was playing without their best two wide receivers (LaQuon Treadwell and Vince Sanders), so all we had to do was stop the TE, Evan Engram. He had over 200 yards receiving and to me, that was the story of the game.
Not having our safeties
certainly played a big part in dictating our tactics, but yeah we weren't stellar overall.
