'10 FL DT Louis Nix (Notre Dame Man)

[Wild Bill]

His reps will be limited b/c the league is pass happy, and let's be honest, big lou isn't anchoring the nickel or dime package. I doubt he'll be limited b/c of conditioning, though.

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

His performance this year was underwhelming compared to his 2012 campaign, but still showed the signs of an elite NT, which is a rare commodity. He still did his job this year, but wasn't constantly pushing his blocker into the backfield like he did the year before. I still think he can be a potential pro-bowl caliber NT next level if he stays healthy (which will be a lot easier when he's not chop blocked 2 games a year). Any 3-4 team without a NT would be crazy to pass him up.

Character concerns over his personality.

He too happy!

Yeah. Better to have fun doing drugs or cutting classes than to be high on life. Think of how infectious it could be to have a little fun on a NFL team. Isn't that why you PLAY the game.

Johnny Manziel leads most controversial prospects in NFL draft - NFL.com

have a read of this. Nolan Nawrocki is probably the biggest scumbag writing about pro sports.
The "character concerns" about Big Lou is exactly the type of BS he spouts regularly.

DI, a chara,

Looking through the list, in addition to JM, I could only think of Steve Spurrier breathing a sigh of relief, thinking those guys were now the NFL's problem. But looking at the coaches and programs they come from, is the cost of a coach taking the low road in college football its own punishment? And if so enough?

I just think those "scouting reports" on the players character are in bad taste. the Kid from WKU was said to "talk too much", god help KVR when he comes to be drafted lol.

You know, good point! I am so insulated to the rubbish of that thin layer of the underside of journalism, that I hardly even notice it anymore. Thanks for the wakeup call!

Mayock questioning if Big Lou can go enough snaps is surprising for the fact that:

1) He proved in multiple games this past year that he could go the whole game and still dominate.

2) I would tend to think that the NFL is a slower paced game overall compared to college since there is less hurry up offense. He should have no problem giving 60+ snaps a game when need be. I'd expect against the pass happier teams he would still be able to play 50+

Yeah, but the competition level is so much higher!

 

[dublinirish]

he's not going to be a full time starter his rookie year, sometimes the scouts gotta pick holes in guys, they say the skinny guys cant block and the fat guys dont have stamina. Its gets a bit exhausting following the scout-speak every year i tend not to bother any more

I can smell a career; analyzing the analysts!

Nix became visibly tired. One snap he'd shove a guy 5 yards into the backfield, then you'd see him get double teamed backwards.

Wow that's 20 pounds on Vince Wilfork's combine weight.

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

Wow that's 20 pounds on Vince Wilfork's combine weight.

Well considering he was almost spry at 325 in 2012, so I don't think an extra 20 lbs will negatively effect his play. Whatever team he joins will get him to the weight they want him at.

 

[irishfan]

Wow that's 20 pounds on Vince Wilfork's combine weight.

I hope the Pats take him and cut Wilfork if he's somehow available at #29. As much as I love Vince, he's old and overpaid going into next year.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Love Lou more than any recent player [even Manti for me, and that's almost impossible], but Lou is not going to start out as an all-game player fellas. His coach won't even want him to be.

Lou is a rare War Daddy in the middle, and when he has his "wind" he is going to mess up what the offense has planned in his area. BUT, if the DC knows it's passing time, AND can get Lou off the field, the Big Man is coming off.

As Kelly said all along: with Lou it's about "work volume" --- the number of plays that you can go full tilt in a game. Lou played his heart out for us, but some of that play wasn't full tilt, just because he couldn't keep it up continuously. But, for us, 80% of Lou was better than 100% of anybody else.

Assuming no major injuries, Lou will continue to grow a Man's body everywhere, and year-upon-year will become more valuable and more nightmarish for the opponent.

Go get 'em War Daddy.

I hope to god not (go Jets!), but getting a guy like Lou to replace Wilfork is the kind of move that I think you trade up for in the draft. Not to get guys like Chandler Jones and Dont'a Hightower. Both worked out in hindsight, but I for one would never trade up in the 1st for a middle linebacker. But than who am I to challenge the wisdom of a sith lord.

That weight must have been old. After watching the video, I wouldn't be surprised if he was around 320.

They've had some questionable drafts the last couple years to say the least.

[ulukinatme]

The mission seems to be "Point out that I've lost weight," which is totally understandable and I'm glad he was able to achieve his goal. I'm a little surprised that he says he's done with 5 Guys though, and he's embraced the salad Maybe that's all PC talk so he doesn't throw any red flags for potential teams.
