'10 FL DT Louis Nix (Notre Dame Man)

[dublinirish]

LOL man he looks totally different, lost a ton of weight

 

[dublinirish]

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.

didnt chance Womack's trainers say last year he was addicted to hamburgers or something? Nix's camp probably wanna go a different route!

You can tell he's dropped some for sure. Love the kid and wish him the best.

 

[RDU Irish]

You can tell he was well prepped for two talking points - 1) Salad, 2) Sexy

He was high in bag drills. Needs to get that bubble butt lower.

HUGE gains since the combine

Nobody tell him that's in minutes.

McShay has him 30th to the 49ers in his latest mock.

McShay also has Lewan sliding to 12 to the giants. IMO McShay is an ass hat.

While I concur with the bolded, the Niners fan in me hopes he's right/

I hear that would love to have him on the nose and reunite him with Ian Williams. Thus they could move Glenn Dorsey DE to eventually replace Justin Smith.

Louie was one Dar and Mel show this morning. Has lost 23 LBs on his new diet and feels much better. He's such a character, I know Mel loves ND already, but he has a man crush on Louis. He'll talk glowingly about him during the draft coverage I have no doubt.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Lou had a great Tweet yesterday, someone feel free to embed. It read "Confidence is going after Moby Dick in a rowboat and bringing the tartar sauce with you". Love Big Lou.

Everybody is talking about how bad Tuitt was last season but Nix was not much better plus he has knee issues, do not be surprised if he falls to the second round

 

[Anchorman]

certainly hope it's not where they end up, but I've definitely noticed both a general down trend for Tuitt and Nix in recent mocks.

I think Nix's great personality will help his draft status. Smart and funny. Nix is the kind of guy you want to have in your locker room.

Aha i have read scouting reports where his personality has been labelled a "distraction" and a negative thing for a lockerroom

 

[vmgsf]

Did his personality detract from his performance at Notre Dame? I do not think so. A troublesome knee did. Nix is tough, smart and funny. I never heard one whisper of any of his teammates complaining about Nix as a person or as a teammate.

This is among the more ridiculous things I've heard in a while. Do they feel he wouldn't be "business" enough or something?

If he's referencing the same report I've seen, it's from that guy that gets paid to "tell it like it is," AKA slinging mud at the big prospects whether it's true or not.

I think that might have even been referenced earlier in this thread.

NFL Events: Combine Player Profiles - Louis Nix

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS
Outstanding size. Commands a double team and has two-gap ability. Good quickness off the snap. Has press strength and power to push blockers into the backfield. Shows disruptive ability when his battery is charged. Flashes an arm-over. Redirects well for a big man. Nice pursuit effort. Strong wrap tackler. Scheme versatile.

WEAKNESSES
Can play with better leverage against double teams. Does not dominate single blocking. Needs to improve hand use -- punch impact, counter moves and shed timing. Limited pass-rush value (minimal sack production). Can do a better job protecting his legs -- is not as strong on his pegs as you'd expect and spends too much time on the ground. Conditioning and stamina will have to be monitored -- takes plays off and weight has fluctuated.

BOTTOM LINE
Despite standing to benefit from a more dominant senior season in South Bend, Nix, who already graduated, opted to forgo his final year of eligibility in order to provide for 13 siblings. He does not enter the NFL with momentum, having coped with knee tendinitis before season-ending surgery to repair a torn left meniscus, and too often his gregarious personality and media hype overshadowed his performance. However, if the massive interior defender taps into his power more consistently, Nix has ample mass, strength and athleticism to anchor a "30" front as a space-eating, block-occupying run stuffer.

yup this one

That's far from saying his personality is a distraction or locker room negative, tho. That's more a reflection on the assessment of his play on the field.

"because I still want to do what I went to school for."

Novel concept.

I will always have a soft spot in my hear for the big guy. Went to the USC night game with my 10 year old son and Lou gave us a good lesson in pure guts. He will always be on my list of all time favorites for that memory alone.
