trent cole was not a high motor guy....hes a freak...

That's revisionist history. He was definitely a high-motor strictly speed guy coming out. He's turned into a freak, but that's not how he started.

pretty sure you never saw him in college...

True, I don't make a habit out of watching the one Cincinnati game a year that makes it to national television, And I seriously doubt that you do either... but either way it's not like he was revered as some sort of athletic phenom through his years in school or when he came out. Some can't miss athlete who just didn't have a position. He had sacks but not piles and piles of sack in college, he ran a 4.7 40 and did an average number of bench reps. Not exactly the athletic prodigy that you're describing...

So basically you're saying he's no Mike Mamula.

i saw him play probably once or twice in college...enough times to remember him...i mean he was first team all conference...it wasnt like he was a back up...plus you dont have to watch actual cincinnati games...theres tons of film on youtube and draft sites of almost any potential draft pick...

no one ever said he was a prodigy...but he had an amazing first step (40 times mean little for defensive ends) and was beastly strong for his size...cant speak on his bench presses but he was/is ripped to shreds....whether you think he was a freak or not i  guess is debatable...but he was bassically the opposite of what a high motor guy is

You know, you can be athletic AND have a high motor. In fact, that's the ideal scenario. Just sayin'...

[ice grillin you]

i agree but everyone has a 'high motor' in the pros...if you didnt you wouldnt make it

again high motor is code word for slow and/or unathletic.....not saying teams cant use guys like that because they often are good special teamers and solid back ups...but you generally dont want high motor guys starting for you...which is the eagles problem...andy actually target these kinds of players with the intention of them starting

[reese125]

couldnt be more wrong.

Your top starting defensive ends in the league are described as high motor, relentless pass rushers. Its the fact that their "engines" are always in high gear and they are constantly moving, never tire out, constantly getting pressure on the QB.

You dont want them starting for you?

"engines" are always in high gear

Engines don't have high or low gears.....transmissions is what you want.

[SunMo]

arguing the application of the phrase "high motor"


die....all of you

[ice grillin you]

couldnt be more wrong.


there is no such thing as a high motor is my point...thats a term made up by nerds for fantasy football type fans such as yourself

everyone in the nfl has a high motor...if you dont you wont be in the league for long

from the best defensive end to the worst defensive end they all go high motor...but on a whole the more talented ones are the better players

same thing with fastballs...theres no such thing as throwing fastballs out there...the guy is either talented enough to succeed in the nfl or he isnt...are their exceptions to the rule of course but overall thats how it works...fantasy geeks like you make me sick who buy into these bogus ass terms like high motor guys...get a clue dipshtein...then grow a set so youre able to sum the strength to take your own life

Post of the minute?

[reese125]

bogus ass terms

watching you trying to brainwash others into believing your own definitions of words is even more bogus

dont write a whole paragraph of what high motor means and how it translates to the NFL than you farging munson, and be prepared to be called out on it like you do to everyone else in this forum.

OK, that may have been a little much. The truth is that I was just enjoying reading IGY get all fired up about yelling at Reese. It made me giggle.
