Video of McCoy

Did anyone notice that in that acceleration drill, he hit the line 4th out of the 5 guys? I won’t draw any conclusions from one rep, but he’d better bring more than that to the Combine.

Another thing I’ve noticed, but haven’t commented on up to now, is his personality. Schwartz wants a special player, a special person, with the personality of a Delmas.

“When we win, it’ll be because we play with the personality of Louis Delmas.”

In every interview I’ve seen, Ndomakong Suh and Eric Berry seem like guys who are mentally tough, who have great intagibles to go along with their talent. I’ve never gotten that impression from any Gerald McCoy interview. In terms of personality, he reminds me of the late Gaines Adams. That’s obviously a hard thing to quantify, so don’t ask me to prove it, but in terms of reading people, that’s the sense I get. I just don’t see the intangibles with McCoy. Ability alone has carried him this far, but the NFL is an entirely different level.

No…LOL…. in fact, I re watched it and he was first in both drills….

of how even though I am 6’2" 210lbs I would be crushed by guys playing at the NFL level.

I had a trainer for a bit who was a Falcons practice squad DB. Even though he was 5’7" and about 170 lbs, he could lift about twice what I could. As much as we pick and point at these guys and complain about faults—real and perceived—these guys are all in crazy good condition.

You have to download the akamai thing but it’s quick to download and NFL.com has some other good HQ videos that use it.

I may be wrong, but in Suh’s video you see him bench press 4 45 plates on each side (405 pounds total) whereas in McCoy’s video you see him with 3 45 plates and what looks to me like a 10 on each side (335 pounds total). I bet Suh is going to beat McCoy at the combine by at least 5 reps of 225.

….Suh or Mccoy either one will eba lion and both are beasts!!!!

I belive mccoy is gonna need more work to become the “beast” you all keep calling him he has had a few games (big games) were he failed to impress me I need a guy like Suh that can shine under pressure. I will be happy with the Suh or Berry pick. I have reservations on Mccoy that can only be dissproven by him actually playing in the NFL and being this “beast”. I am not saying he isn’t good in the college ranks I just have doubts on his abillitys going pro.

McCoy does not have a big injury history. Suh has had two knee surgeries.

If this were any other year, McCoy would be the talk of the draft. He is going to feel slighted after this process is over with all of the hoopla over Suh. He will have fire in the belly.

Gerald McCoy is a very good player. The Lions should take him.
