'10 FL DT Louis Nix (Notre Dame Man)

[scUM Hater]

Does seem like knee rehab would be on ND's dime though. With the way insurances work.

You would think.

My future bro-in-law was a cheerleader at Kansas and tore his ACL drunkenly stunting at a party. KU picked up the surgery and rehab bill entirely.

 

[PerthDomer]

He did it so he could get surgery from the best sports med people there are and not the ones ND employs (who are good, but not the best).

They typically pick up the tab.

Can't wait to see him sprint at the end.

Beat Jake Matthews time by a couple secs. Behind Rashede Hageman by a second

Looked very quick for a 342 lb man!

Quick question for those still watching: who is the white NFL veteran with the glasses and the stubble? The face looks so familiar, but I cant place his name.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Speilman? Haven't seen his face but that sounds like his voice.

Chris Spielman. Thanks! Reps.

Kiper believes the Bears should draft a DT with their first round pick specifically mentioning Nix and Jernigan.

both kiper's and mcshay's mock has him going to pitt......

He's just a better fit in the 3-4. Bears should take Jernigan and Pitt take Nix. That would be perfect for both.

completely agree as do the experts...big difference in jernigan is under 300 and nix being 330+ ...no way is jernigan a 3-4 dt

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

He'd be a force either way, but his VALUE lies in being a NT because true NT's are so rare.

Nix to the Steelers and Johnny "I have zero arm strength and weigh 100 pounds soaking wet" Train-wreck to the Browns???

Yep that would be pretty par for the course with the No Fun League.

Zero arm strength? Go watch some of his games and the throws he was making. This anit Tommy Rees were talking about..

I can't see how durable JFF will be in the NFL. Anyone who picks him in the first round and does not have an elite OL is wasting a pick IMO. 3/4 of the stuff he got away with in college will be denied to him after like two NFL games.

 

[zelezo vlk]

He also had great line play in college, amazing weapons, good system...I'm not super high on him as a prospect.

Russell Wilson winning a super bowl will help JM

 

[zelezo vlk]

Russell Wilson impressed the hell out of me in college. Johnny Football to me is the kid that gets talked up because of his college career and then busts. Later we look back and think "what were we smoking?..."

I wish him the best, but I think the odds are against him. I'd love to see him do well in the pros though. Anything that adds to the entertainment is good in my book.

I saw a clip of him tonight where he was running with the ball and came face to face with a DB. He stopped momentarily and spread both his arms overhead like in a jumping jack, the football aloft in one hand. When the DB hesitated he slid to one side and was gone.

It struck me, pull that move in the NFL and any DB is not going to hesitate. He's going to crush your sternum!

And I can't wait to see him try it and see that dipshit buried into the turf.

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.

I guess Mayock forgot the 70+ snaps Big Lou had vs Oklahoma

Ouch. C'mon, Big Lou, prove them wrong
