Brenton Cox dismissed from Gators

[Gatorbait25]

Didn't Leon Orr do this same thing about 2 or 3 games before the end of his career too...

Pretty sure he hitchhiked home from Nashville that year

Any of you guys here mark long say he'd be here longer than Napier at the presser today?

No one.

Great....what about 10-14 in the last 24 games and the season playing out just like I(he)said it would....lucky guesses right? Dude stop...just admit you're wrong and I won't breakdown film showing it in every head to head and position group battle we lose on a weekly basis....

Really this isn't healthy for you to be in this much denial ...

 

[t-gator]

No one.

A friend of mine mentioned it in a group text.

word on the street is Cox called Napier a “ ‘Cajun Willie Taggart” at halftime and that was all she wrote…

First thing he isn't Cajun. He's not even from Louisiana.

But hey facts mean nothing here.

So you agree that they were terrible recruiters?

Just for the heck of it (realizing the game has changed) 2008 leading tacklers. Haden is still my favorite CB of all time.

Whether his walking papers were justified or not (probably were) this just caused Cox to fall at least 1 round in the draft.

Probably more

He’s another Grantham guy without a true position. To big and slow for linebacker and to small for lining up against the run. He’s a one trick pony speed rusher, but you saw what a future NFL OT did to him. Stoned him 95% of the game.

Napier knows what he wants and needs.

They are not putting up with. any crap.

Play the guys who want to be here.

He's the 5th leading tacklers. But there's a significant drop off from 4th to 5th. The team will be better of (long term) without him. His over pursuing the QB and play was consistant.consistent.

The key to defense in today’s game is to pressure the passer. Cox is supposed to be that terror and he just isn’t. The last one we had was Greenard and he enabled even slob Grantham have a solid year.

I’m all for setting the standard and making room for youth to develop.

I had hoped when he came here and didn't make a impact or even really play his first year they would try to make him a LBer(not a DE/LB) but a real 4-3 type guy.....most laughed but look at what happened to RoPo when he went to the NFL.....They made him a LBer and it worked. These type of guys just aren't strong enough to stick their hand in the dirt and mix it up on the LOS....We really need to get back to a full time 4 man front with 4 guys who are a minimum of 280# like we had from 2006-2012

This looks like the reasoning of a 5 year old
