Colin Cole- "Top Priority"

[SnakeLH2006]

So resigning a guy who has been a journeyman at best at a 4-3 DT and got pushed around, showed no burst or pass rush became a priority?? Damm Snake thought a 3-4 NT should/could occupy 2 blockers and not get pushed over by 1 guy in a mere 4-3, unlike Colin Cole? Shit...if that's the case, Snake will put on some weight, sign the minimum, and make damn sure EVERY D player gets practice waters faster than you can say Jamal Reynolds.

Unless this guy is the glue that keeps the club loose and is chemistry karma (seen this guy on Packer shows...not real smart or witty)..why do it? As Beyonce' says..."gotta gotta upgrade"...

Please don't resign Cole as he has no value at DE or at a 3-4 NT. Zero upside, older, no potential at all. After getting used to TT's roster upheaval and "business" side to players, what loyalty do we need to show to Cole whether he was a Packer or not? None. Dump him now and get a rookie UFA to fill his #11 on the DLine spot for $340,000. Damn.

I think they could find someone of Cole's calibre through the undrafted FA's...Cole went undrafted as well if I remember correctly.

There's a fairly under the radar guy in this draft that is physically just like Harrell. A fast skinny NT that could swing between the DE and NT position. Dorell Scott of Clemson. 6'3", 315 (plays at 320), and not flabby, he ran the 3rd fastest 40 of the DT's (4.90). His tape isn't quite as good as Justin's, but unlike Justin, he's been relatively healthy throughout his career. His 40 probably pushed him into at worst the high 3rd, probably the 2nd, but I'd take him over the big slow pokes, Brace and Taylor, since he could feasibly add 20-30 lbs without becoming ridiculously slow. I've been trying to get all his #'s, but I know going into 2008 he put up 28 reps at Clemson, good enough for an interior T.

Not a Clemson guy, anything but a Clemson Defensive linemen, they don't get any dumber. See donell Washington.

Phillip Merling didn't do too bad last year.

Just because one less than intelligent guy comes from a school half a decade ago, all that come from the school are idiots?

i just want a NT that can jump out of a pool without assistance!

If you're talking about Gilbert out of SDSU, he's a DE not an NT. He'd be a fabulous pickup if he was there in round 2 though.

I remember reading a scouts take on Washington, "Big and strong, but like all typical Clemson players, stupid."

Didn't William "the Refrigerator" Perry belong to Mensa?

LOL, I like this thread and Snake's been thinking about Colin Cole:

What is truly better? 192 credits and a double major/double minor with a decent paying job where I'm at? Or being not smart, but having massive girth and being a #10 at the depth chart at your job, yet commanding maybe $2-2.5 million a year, sucking at your job, but being very wealthy while various Internet forums talk about you?

I'd rather be smart, financially comfortable, and talk about it, than be FILTHY rich and suck at my job.

315 lbs. and you're calling him skinny???

I wouldn't call him fat. Pretty skinny for an A gap tackle.

That's guy's 315? Wow. That's quite an impressive frame. Found another shot of him, as a freshman I believe, at 290lbs



Where is the weight? He doesn't look near that big. If he started packing it one, he would be massive.

[Waldo]

He's flow somewhat under the radar (a lot like Harrell did), they ignored him at the combine on the broadcast completely.

Just like Harrell, he doesn't have the freakish speed of the UT penetrators, but still quite good. He doesn't have the freakish power and giant size of the large immovable objects, but still quite good (29 reps). His college experience is as an A gap tackle, playing double teams (just like Harrell), so he doesn't have mind blowing stats, but he is unusually fast for a solid A gap tackle, just like Harrell. His frame is large enough and speed good enough that he could feasibly get up to 330+ and still have the quickness necessary to excel inside.

I'm not big on Clemson guys...Antwan Edwards was, I believe, from that school. And our own Donnell Washington, too, yes.

But hey...if this guy is sitting there in the third, well, okay. I'll take Waldo's word.

I hope Waldo is a Packer scout.

And I hope Patler works in the front office.

And KY is secretly coaching special teams, behind the scenes.
