Cab he drive a car and shoot a pistol?
 
Wonder why he was only a Raven for 3 days. Must have realized he wasn't scummy enough for them.

It only took three days for Cox to realize, "These losers don't even know what an ineligible receiver is; I am outta here!"
 
After losing browner, we needed size and now we have Cox that's big.
It's not the size that matters, its what you do with it. Browner used his length well. Hopefully Cox is up for the challenge...
 
Breaking Michael Sam has been feverishly trying to reach out to the Patriots the last 24 hours.
Sources say a new addition has greatly aroused his interest and he is looking forward to playing with Cox.

Someone has WAAAAYYY too much time on their hands these days!:D
 
Imagine if the Pats' week 1 starters were Fletcher and Cox... and they were actually good... PatsFans would have a damn heart attack.
Funny thing is if this was the 2013 offseason a secondary consisting of Cox, Fletcher, and McClain would be considered one of the better secondary's in the NFL. All 3 players played very well in 2012 and struggled 2013-2014. If it was poor scheme fits, bad coaching, etc. we might have something. They are all relatively young overall.
 
Wow, the list of stuff he goofs up is so comprehensive, so much that he goofs up things I didn't know existed.

Reminds me of the lines from Jimmy Johnson talking to Bill Belichick on the "It's a Football Life" feature on Bill Belichick:

JJ: Hit me on the head with hammer the next time I take a dumb guy.
BB: You taught me that well. You can't fix that.

Very interesting observation. This means they must at least have the physical ability to play corner at a high level, which is obviously a very big part of the picture. So put that together with the Patriot's well-known ability to coach-up underperforming corners. Oh, wait...
 
This is Cox last chance to have a NFL Career I would like to see him compete with Jean, and Roberts.
Same type of build and length.
Its clear we are moving to a zone defense.
I like the length we have in the secondary.
I believe BB watching that Hawks receiver eat us alive was enough for him to move on from smurfs.
Browners release was due to the undisciplined football that Browner played BB knew that the penalties would cost us.
Nothing BB hates slightly less than a fumble on offense is a untimely stupid penalty.
Id love to see this secondary come in young strong and fast cause a lot of turnovers and develop on the fly.
Mccourty's resigning is brilliant because he's the perfect veteran presence to be the glue on the defense.
Which is why we drafted the football genius in the second round que the BB saying safety is the hardest position for a rookie to learn but took Richards in the second due to his Mccourty like smarts and instincts.
Yes I am choosing to chug the BB koolaid and it tastes very sweet this time of year.
 
Here's the break down on what he did for us. Starting with us Charger fans desperately needing help in the back field, We were really stoked and looking forward to have Cox be our #1 CB with a good past and a good head on his shoulders.

For those of you saying maybe he wasn't coached in the right way...Our backfield is ranked pretty darn good now with Verrett and Flowers as our #1 & 2 , So it wasn't our coaching. He never had that good game we were expecting and every game that passed, It seemed like he got worse. Let's put it this way, He was replaced by Richard Marshall which was just as bad but atleast he knew the playbook. Richard Marshall ended up on the same boat as Cox. They were both CB's that the QB would pick on.

I'm not sure if he's lazy and was just collecting a paycheck? Or maybe he was playing with undisclosed injuries and or he had a tuff time adjusting to new systems??? I'm sure the Jaguars Defensive coaches weren't that great or had/have a strict style, They probably let him do his thang, Who knows??

I'd be surprised if he made the cut...If he does then I still wouldn't expect anything out of him Untill he actually plays a regular season game and looks good doing it. One thing is for sure, He doesn't play with that fire and isn't physical with WR's when he could be using his height to his advantage. If BB can get Cox to rub up on players and start spraying talent all over the field...Well then I'd bow down to BB and give him major respect.


Soooo...yah, Good Luck with him.....He's definitely one of the Nicest Cox, I heard his brothers are huge slimey Cox and are up to no good. The both work at one of the biggest ****s sporting goods.

BB lengthened Talibs career, thanks for the insight if anyone can get his best out of him its BB.
BB doesnt care what happened before he will get a chance to compete.
We should know about him as a player in the coming weeks.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...."value signing"

Maybe this is not a good signing and he won't make a difference. But hearing YOUR opinion, in particular, is frankly, worthless. You must have HATED Super Bowl 49.



1/21/14:
"Negative - it will be Denver again (if Manning is still there) plus Indianapolis will probably be ahead of the Patriots....Pats will do their usual sign over the hill 30+ year old free agents and cut or IR 90% of them and then the draft will yield perhaps one guy who can make plays...."

2/24/14:
"If Kraft wasn't so cheap they'd have another super bowl."

2/28/14:
"I say Krafty Bob sells the team before he spends $150M on player salaries....as you know, judging from interviews Krafty's content with making the semi finals and being "in contention" every season...he has his three trophies and the lemmings keep paying $50 to park, paying for the most expensive tickets in the league, while Krafty Bob pockets every last nickel and counts it just like Ebeneezer Scrooge. As long as the Pats have Brady and Belichick and Buffalo, NYJ, and Miami remain 5-8 win teams Krafty Bob knows he can stiff the fans with second rate free agents and draftees from Rutgers....because those AFC East titles mean so much..."

3/12/14:
"You mean the Patriots, who haven't won a SB in a decade despite having the best coach and qb in the league, and who's owner routinely nickels and dimes his way to free agents, draft picks, and his own players? That team????"


8/7/2014:
"This is tough to watch...I knew brady wasn't playing but I had no idea half the other starters weren't playing either...ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
nothing good has come out of this game."
(Ahem....That game was the first appearance - playing more than half the game - of Malcolm Butler. And anyone who actually watched that game came away knowing the kid was making the team).

9/11/2014:
"MIN 31
NE 24

Rinse, wash, repeat fom Miami game - too many jags and udfa on both lines as cassell has all day to throw, Peterson gets 120 and Patterson gets 110 & 2 td and belichick gazes upon all the flotsam and jetsam he acquired trading out of the spot where coraderrle Paterson, a game changer, was drafted...."

9/14/2014:
"The game has clearly passed belichick by...why else is the pats defense annually so horrible? ????"


10/1/2014:
"Pretty soon krafty bob is going to have the embarrassment of having his teams' games blacked out...because if u think the Pats will sell out every game next year if they finish 8-8, 9-7 (if someone thinks they're better than that I have some Florida swampland to sell ya). This team has the look of 99 second half when they couldn't protect bledsoe. A 9-7/8-8 finish will have about 10-15% nonrenewal season tickets and krafty will jave to work awfully hard to get those tix sold...maybe he'll have to resort to having rhe local broadcaster bail him like nbc did years ago when the pats had decent teams...GO PATS...oh and krafty, spend some of Jonathan's inheritance on players that can play football"

10/2/2014:
"CIN 33
NE 13

Mod Edit: For the second straight week, this is a reminder that this thread is for a prediction of the score only.
Please leave the editorializing to other threads on the game or specific subjects.

Thank You."

10/3/2014:
"R.e. playoffs...lets not forget the pats already have 2 conference losses and that will come into play for tie breakers. I don't see them being much better than 6-6 or 7-5 in the conference and that won't do it...if they lose Sunday they're really behind the 8 ball tiebreaker-wise, not to mention they'd now lose head to head w Kansas city and Cincinnati. .."

10/5/2014:
"Belichick has destroyed this team and I have no clue why. Releade of t Kelly makes no sense and made the team worse, trading mankins made rhe team worse, going into kc w 3 receives made the team worse...this team is full of jags and (entire offensive line) and "decent" players who lack consistent big play impact (mayo, mccourty, edelman, chandler jones), and guys who wouldn't be playing on other teams (hoomanawanui, ninkovich, chung). of The two impact players one is being used in a confounding way (revis) and the other is certainly not 100%. couple all this with a 37 year old shell shocked qb who cant throw past 10 yards and you have an at best mediocre club.
im really sick of the coach's act and head scratching decisions...they haven't won it all in 10 years amd they've gotten blown out of the playoffs the last two seasons...fix it bill or get him gone krafty.."

10/5/2014:
"3 & out on first drive boo birds will be out in full force and justifiably so..."



Gasbag.

Wait, are you talking about football?

Great point.
 
Sounds like that Debbie downer is going to be freaking out even more this season with the way your backfield is looking right now. Was he seriously freaking out over Pre season games & early regular season games ?!?!?!? Wowzers !! How could a fan freak out with Revis and Browner holding it down ?

Losing Wilfork, Revis and Browner is going to hurt. I haven't seen the Defensive Rookies you guys drafted this off season, But just losing those guy I mentioned is gonna hurt. Your Offensive might have to step it up a bit.

I was interested in Spikes before you guys picked him back up. Now I know why he was still available. Luckily we picked up a possible lights out LB from "The U" by the name of Denzel Perryman. The kid has potential. I know you guys worked him out

Perryman is going to be your best LB in two seasons and will be one of the better LB's in the AFC. Kid is a stud.
 
Between Cox and balls, this main forum has been very active in what is usually the slowest part of the offseason.
 
Here's the break down on what he did for us. Starting with us Charger fans desperately needing help in the back field, We were really stoked and looking forward to have Cox be our #1 CB with a good past and a good head on his shoulders....

You're the same guy who said this:

Its funny how other teams fans think they over take our stadium, The reality is, Charger fans represent hard and make a lot of noise. You'll see tonight and I'm predicting 4-5 false starts on the Pats.

http://www.patsfans.com/new-england...y-sd-perspectives.1114011/page-2#post-4012058

And this is what happened in the game:

Bill Belichick said:
Yeah, there was a lot of energy in the stadium: night game and the Chargers in their powder blues and definitely a lot of energy in the stadium. But there was a sea of Patriots fans behind our bench. I don’t think I’ve ever quite seen that before. They were just all kind of in the same spot, it was almost like a college game in a neutral site, where one side of the field is one team and the other side is the other team. It wasn’t quite like that, but we had all those fans right behind us. They were loud and vocal. There were a couple times when I was talking to somebody or talking to one coach or another while the other side of the ball was out there and you hear the fans start yelling and [you’re] like, ‘Uh oh, what happened?’ and it was us making a good play and our fans cheering. It was a little bit of a different sensation. But the crowd was – it was an electric night. The crowd had a lot of energy. The support and the fans that we had at the game and all of them there behind us was awesome. It was great.

I won't put any stock into your opinion of whether Cox will be good or not.
