Cox - How did this guy slip through the cracks during the

draft? Based on his pro day numbers he should have been at worst a mid round pick. BP 24 - That is two more than Pugh who has short arms. Vertical - 41 matches David Wilson. His 3 cone drill of 6.87 beats Wilson's of 7.09. Did he have some off the field issues or was it the lack of production that hurt him?

JonC - I now you are often the more level voice of reason,

BlueLou : 8/23/2013 3:56 pm : link

but I see a lot to like from Cox so far in his few carries and pass receptions. An awful lot.

now

meant to be know.

Look for Dick Hurtz

out of a small Div 2 school in Idaho next year. He's a punisher.

Lou, I agree

David in LA : 8/23/2013 4:01 pm : link

I think Cox is the true definition of sleeper. He'll probably get very few carries, but there's a lot to be encouraged by. He seems to have size, speed, and most of all, he's an instinctive runner.

This Cox sure has great measurables

Do any of you guys like Cox?

Cox will give you 6 inches when you need a yard.

Dave I think you hit a key point

I like the balance he's shown so far (particularly compared to Scott) but also little details like how he picks up his feet to avoid "trash" on the field.

BBI is all about the Cox.

think Cox had problem in college ramming into the backsides of his own lineman and then just falling down.

Can't make it up!

I wonder how many combinations

of 'Mike Cox' jokes Michael Cox has heard.... his production so far has been a great surprise. This is why I love pre-season, watching guys who you have no expectations of show flash, ala Cruz.

He's shown more than Scott has in his NYG tenure, and he runs with more power than Brown. Runs with power, better vision, decisive, has punishing size. Probably has enough talent to have been drafted, but posters tend to get enamored with UDFAs and overrate in reaction.

I forget

bc4life : 8/24/2013 9:39 am : link

How much time has he had playing with the ones? The reaction time of starting defenders can make a big difference re: how he performs.

Does hustle on specials.

I think he makes the team, at any rate. I am not sure I agree with JonC that he runs with more power than Brown. Not saying I disagree - just think jury may be out due to not enough data to compare.

An easy tool for judging power is

JonC : 8/24/2013 9:43 am : link

the demonstrated ability to break tackles, Cox breaks a ton, Brown is more of an elusive runner. I've seen Brown go down after initial contact much more often that Cox, to this point.

Certainly, the sample size to compare is small

JonC : 8/24/2013 9:48 am : link

but I've noticed less physicality from Brown this year, perhaps he turns it up once the bullets fly for real.

Nice pick.

Mike fr Warwick : 8/24/2013 11:00 am : link

My opinion 3rd down back/returner with a possibility of being Brown's replacement down the line. I said possible as I like the way the Giants handle and develop their backs.

It will be nice if Cox turns out to be

Some Fan : 8/24/2013 12:08 pm : link

a dcent football player. I trust he is playing STs?

This is what I like about Cox(don't even go there!)

Doomster : 8/24/2013 12:09 pm : link

The guy has made plays....he seems to have good vision of the field, and runs to daylight....Sean Bennett was a one play wonder.....I think we get to see a lot of Cox(control yourself!) on the field in the next two games....

Saucey Doomster...

steve in ky : 8/24/2013 1:25 pm : link

I Like Cox

If Brown or Wilson gets hurt

mrvax : 8/24/2013 1:39 pm : link

then we can say that we all need Cox.

Mike Cox is hard...

I hope Cox explodes ...
