Alabama's Terrence Cody Lining Up Visits With 3-4 Teams
Despite two of the better defensive tackles in recent memory headlining the top five picks in the NFL Draft, Alabama's Terrence Cody feels he is the only "true" 3-4 nose tackle and should be taken in the top half of the first round.
"I’ll be happy to get drafted, but I’m shooting for the top 10 or top 15 picks," Cody said.
Judging by his pre-draft visits being scheduled, his destination may be closer to the end of the first round.
Cody told the National Football Post in a telephone interview that he has visits lined up with the Baltimore Ravens, San Diego Chargers and New York Jets.
All three run a 3-4 defense. All three are also picking in the bottom third of the draft.
Baltimore (25), San Diego (28) and New York (29) are expected to give serious thought to Cody.
The Chiefs have the 37th pick in the draft.
Cody's momentum is positive at this point. After weighing as much as 400 pounds his junior season, he's down to 348 pounds losing weight each of his last two weigh-ins at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine. He said his playing weight would be best around the 345-350 pound range.
"I feel like I’m that perfect 3-4 player," Cody said. "I took up those blocks for Rolando and we both did really good this season. He was running free and getting involved. After the first play of the game, I knew if they were going to run away from me."

Good stuff here.
Has something changed or is his agent just feeding him nonsense that makes him think top 10-15 is realistic?
3GChief = 3rd Generation Season Ticket Holder
He just says it's a goal
And would like the Broncos or someone like that drafting him in the mid-rounds that crazy? I don’t think it is.

Just curious if something changed that I was unaware of.
Goals are definitely vital, as is playing into one’s value, be it inflated or not.

I dont see Cody making it out of the 1st rd
I think if Baltimore got him, that Defense would seriously be dominate. They could plug him in the middle, and have Nagata and Gregg play DE. That would be the beefiest 34 Dline out there. Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs would flourish
The way things look right now...
I’d say he’s gone by 37. I hope he does, he could be a steal for the Chiefs.

Eric Berry, and McCoy play better football. While I’m not a big fan of Williams he does have talent.
Go Chiefs!!!!
ditto...any other year and he would be the 3rd or 4th best at his position
A man who says he can, and a man who says he can't are both right. Which one are you?

Cody will be gone before 2a. I’d love it if he were still there, but I doubt he falls past SD.
Ryan Succop will be the kicker for the AFC in the 2011 Pro Bowl
Cody will certainly be gone in r1.
Den, Bal, SD, Jets and more will nab him in 1st.

I can't see the Chiefs drafting Cody at 5
I could see a serious error though too.
Whatever we do we need to make sure Cody doesn’t blow up in our face with San Diego or Denver. I would pick Cody over Williams all day long.

I would take Cody over Williams for sure
but, either one at #5 scares me
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* KC will NOT draft a LT in the first round, and the draft WILL be heavy on defense
Yeah, no slam dunks at #5 this year
The “safe” players are “non-impact” positions at S and ILB. Then there’s some OTs, all of whom would be a reach. The rest are big risks. Chance of Suh falling is very slim…yeah, nothing but nail-biting at #5 this year. But that’s about like every year. That’s why KC needs to win themselves some freakin’ games!

Yeah, safeties never make much impact.
Guys like Brian Dawkins, Troy Palomalu, Deron Cherry, Emmitt Thomas, etc are simply reaping the benefits of the other ten guys in front of them. C’MON, every position on the team is important. A safety can make just as big an impact as any other person on the team if they are an exceptional talent. This is a tired argument, “not enough impact because of his position.” The important thing about the pick at #5 is that KC doesn’t whiff on it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, no matter who the pick is, I just hope I can look back in three or four years and say, ’yeah, that was a good pick!"
Right there with ya
I was just parroting what others have said, thus the “quotes.” Personally, I think Berry has as much of a chance to make an impact as anybody in the draft. I’d like to see us get him at #5. About the only pick that would really piss me off would be Bulaga at #5, which I’m seeing in a lot of mocks lately. Nothing wrong with the guy, but if he’s there, then so are some better-fitting players. Including Cody.

Yes, agree. However, I think that if we simply took Berry (if there) that we would be able to say that by the end of 2010 season instead of 3 or 4.
I do not think we need take an OT. The rest of players at #5 seem either don’t fit needs or are not going to be the instant impact. I think Berry or trade down (snap! easy right?). Pioli’s thinking is probably slightly different than what I just said, more like: “Trade down. If I can’t, I’ll take Berry.”
New body. Same soul.
I would be ok with that.
We cant be hurt taking Berry. He’s a sure thing IMO. I would rather trade back to 15 or later and take Cody and get the extra picks.
Kansas City Chiefs - 2020 Team of the Decade
yea
Let’s hope he gets to us at 2a. The thing with cody vs williams is kinda odd to me, so you guys can help me understand or clear up any misconceptions for me. Cody is a fat ass. He was as high as 410 at his juco. But he gets the job done and is a real 0. Its a tough transition, so we’ll see. Williams is a 1, which is similar to suh and mccoy, except he might be able to put weight on easier or more weight on than those two. Suh weighs about 25 less that williams, and mccoy is 30 pounds or so less.
So the question, why is williams going to be so successful becoming a 0 and putting on a little more weight? Furthermore, why is he going to be more successful than the guy that does it already?

I really hate the fat ass comments cause Cody does what is asked of him really well.
National Champions.
Unlike Tennessee.
So if you want the better players you grab Dorsey and Jackson (National Champions)
McClain and Cody (National Champions) seems easy in that regard

oh, and the fat asses thing is along the
Same lines as your point about it taking all kinds. He is big, and very athletic. It takes a big kid tearing it up in the center. A real fatass wouldn’t be able to play one down of college ball, much less pros. It just seems to me that Cody would have more upside and less bust potential than williams, especially for our scheme.

Natural tendencies
Williams isn’t just heavier than Suh and McCoy, he’s also shorter. He plays straight ahead, while those two are better at dancing and sliding. They can run a little better, and he makes O-linemen get just a little lower to get under his pads. All are good linemen, it’s just small differences in God-given build, tendencies and talents. Game of inches and all that.

thanks
Those measureables are good to consider. A little less reach than both those guys, right? He does what he needs to do I guess, but my big point was why is he better than cody for a team lookong for a 3-4 NT, especially one like ours that calls for a true 0?

Trouble is
knowing when to play the nickel and take your NT out. Offenses take advantage of one-dimensional defensive alignments. A perfect defense would be just as good against the run and pass with the exact same personnel on the field.

and trying to sub in personnel is not easy either.

The UK game he was playing the 0 gap.

Even in a 4-3
Your nose tackle will play head up on the center at times, depending on the call.
He mostly played in 1 or what you call a “shade” technique, which is between 0 and 1.

He’s a 1 tech DT. When people refer to a 4-3 using a NT, that’s their guy.

I think we could easily grab both of them. I think Tate would fit in great in the slot with Bowe and Chambers on the outside.
I wouldn't in any way want to chance it
If for any reason Pioli thought that Cody would be picked before 36 I would take him at 5 and just do it. We could have given up multiple picks for a NT we have to surrender One I would do it. Better than Williams and just something this Defense needs to do.

Cody crap going to far! Get serious people
Is anyone that wants Cody even seen game film of the fatty? He is just a big body and hope for the Chiefs sake that they are doing better research on the guy than the fans on this site. The guy is over rated. Last year at this time he was considered a top 10 pick.. he is now a late 1st early 2nd only because of all the 3-4 teams lookin for a hog in the middle and the limited supply of them in this draft….that is why we should sign Gerard Warren to take the heat off having to get a NT in this draft at all. I would rather have Linval Joseph or Torrel Troup in the 3rd rd than fatty Cody in any rd.
The only way he ends up in the Pro Bowl is if there is a halftime Sumo contest.
Manboobs better not become a Chief.
So you would take a proven underperformer
over a proven collgiate that has a national title.
Some of your mocks have a lot to be desired so I want cody :)

I don’t know how to quote the article like I have seen some, but “After the first play of the game, I knew if they were going to run away from me.”
Thats the difference between college and the pro’s. In the pro’s they are not going to run away from you. His stamina is still weak, even though he has dropped some weight, and his technique needs improvement. Torrell Troup in the 4th round would be fine by me.
Just think about it. There are a lot of guys that will be available that I will take over Cody in round 2.
Hi. My big board for KC's first rounder is:
1. Russell Okung, OT
2. Eric Berry, S
3. Rolondo McClain, ILB
4. Brian Bulaga, OT
5. Dan Williams, NT
Bye.
and there is a reason why Cody is valued at 1st or 2nd round and the rest later.

Dude, he's a nose tackle. That's like an OL, only on defense.

I bet they avg better than 2 tackles a start.
Do research and then get back to me when you have a legitimate argument.
Hampton

Wifork
G GS Comb Total Ast Sck
2009 New England Patriots 13 13 43 31 12 0.0
So what is your point? Both of these players have twice as good numbers than Cody!
My point is that NTs don't get good numbers compared to the rest of the defense.
Compare Wilfork and Hampton to Hali. Hali’s numbers blow them away. Hali’s good, but he’s not near as high on the list of linebackers as Wilfork is on the list of NTs. You can’t judge NTs on numbers alone, it’s like trying to judge an O-lineman on numbers alone.
Now, if you want to find a brave soul to slap Cody’s man-boobs and then count the seconds till the wave dies, THAT would be a cool NT stat.

Hampon also had an illustrius career...Cody did not...Huge Difference!
Hampton, #64 3, attended the University of Texas and started 37 consecutive games for the Longhorns. He became the first defensive lineman to lead the team in tackles two consecutive seasons (1999-2000) and recorded 329 tackles (177 solos) to rank 11th on the school’s all-time list. Hampton registered 56 quarterback pressures and caused nine fumbles in his college career and earned All-American first-team honors as a senior from The Football Writers Association, The Sporting News, Walter Camp and The Sports Xchange. As a Texas Longhorn, he was also consensus All-Big 12 Conference first-team selection and Defensive Player of the Year. Hampton was an All-America first-team selection by the Football Writers Association and Associated Press as a junior in 1999. In 1998 he was named the team’s Most Consistent Defensive Player and started every game. That season, he recorded 60 tackles (29 solos) with two sacks and eight stops for losses and registered six quarterback pressures, five pass deflections and recovered one fumble. He also appeared in three games in 1997 before being granted a medical redshirt but played in every game as a true freshman in 1996, starting six at nose guard and recorded 77 tackles (51 solos), one sack and seven stops for losses.4 In his freshman season he also had three quarterback pressures and a forced fumble
Wilfork...not as good as Hamptons but better than Cody's by a longshot!
Wilfork attended the University of Miami where he participated in both football and track and field; he holds the Miami indoor school record in the shot put. In his freshman season, Wilfork did not start but played in every game as a defensive tackle, finishing tenth in the team on tackles with 41 while also recording a sack and forcing three fumbles. Wilfork did not start a game in his 2002 sophomore season either, but still recorded 43 tackles and seven sacks. Before the 2003 season, Wilfork was rated the second best defensive tackle in the country by The Sporting News and went on to start all 13 games for Miami. He finished the year with a career high 64 tackles and led the team with 20 quarterback hurries. He was named to the All-Big East Conference first-team following the season, which would prove to be his last in Miami as he decided to forgo his senior season and enter the 2004 NFL Draft.
You can judge numbers vs the same positions which is what I have been doing…you have no leg to stand on in this argument. Hali? He has nothing to do with NT.
Dude, you are confusing the hell out of me
I though we were talking about NT numbers, not specific players. I was just using Wilfork and Hampton, two of the best NTs in the NFL, to show that excellent NTs don’t get stats as gaudy as pretty much any other defensive position.
But if you insist on comparing college careers, then how ‘bout we compare championships. Cody played a key starting role on a dominant national champion team, blocking for the nation’s best ILB. Wilfork was a freshman backup on a championship team, and I’d bet Hampton would trade all his college stats for a championship.
The path to Victory is made of losers.
Hampton and Wilfork
Both played in a 4-3 in college. Cody has only played in the 3-4 and only played two years because he was a JUCO transfer.
If you think he’s just some fat kid and all you can do to prove it is attempt to post a photo and quote virtually meaningless statistics that lack any sort of context, then all you prove is that you haven’t watched a single game he’s played in. How many times this year did you watch UCF and ECU play? Because I want your insight on Troup and Joseph. Folks love to trot those names out without even knowing anything about them.

Cannot compare OT to a NT in any fashion.
NT do have stats that are substantial and are accounted for every week and posted on NFL.com…….not so for OT.
YES YOU CAN!!!
My whole point is that the tackles, sacks, etc for NTs don’t mean crap! The LBs behind the good NTs collect all those stats, just like the RBs behind a good OL rack up the yards!
Remember how Ray Lewis racked up the best part of his career behind Siragusa? And how the NFL created the defensive holding penalty just because of that? Siragusa didn’t rack up the numbers, but he sure as hell made an impact, which is what big interior linemen do.
The path to Victory is made of losers.
If they don't mean crap then why are they there..to prove production!
I agree that they hold up OT/G so LB’s can get to QB…not arguing that….still have to tackle and produce….and Cody
can’t and hasn’!
So, Nick Saban's a dumbass for keeping him in there?
Maybe the rest of the defense was so good, kindly ole Nick was just doing him a favor? Maybe cuz he’s boinking Nick’s daughter or something?
The numbers are there for all defensive linemen, but you have to take into account what type of linemen they are. QBs have rushing numbers, too. They mean something for Micheal Vick, but do you really care about Peyton Manning’s?
The path to Victory is made of losers.
In 2001, according to NFL.com,
Goose had 28 tackles and 2 sacks in 15 games (13 starts). Sam Adams, their other big tackle that year, had 23 tackles and 2 sacks in 14 starts. RayRay had 161 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 16 starts. And he thanked Goose and Adams for every one of those 161 tackles.

Hey Cody dont' shoot too high you might be out of breathe
Opinions are like A--holes, everyones got one.
As the only prototypical NT in the draft,
and keeping in mind that Pioli drafts who he wants, without regard to the pundits, with the 5th pick in the NFL draft the Chiefs select Alabama DT Terrance Cody.
Kansas City Chiefs - 2020 Team of the Decade
That would be the dumbest move ever! I may take a chance on him with a pick after 4th rd.
He is not the only NT in the draft….12 in this draft!
Brsrkr..I just told you his avg in 11 seasons (included assists). Point is Cody is not the same player as any of the guys we have discussed. Saban found a big dude is all…and Cody couldn’t even handle college competition…with his size he should have dominated.
Sabans daughter was on top during their encounters obviously. Who cares about Cody’s
championship when he had nothing to do with it.

Pioli did not pull trigger last year for a better NT than Cody…so not sure what Skunk is smokin.
Raji senior yr stats
Yr comb tckl asst sack
2008 42 22 20 7
Raji 1 game started in NFL had better #s than Cody’s last year at Alabama.
Again, already explained this with your previous examples
Raji played in a 4-3 defense in college and thus the stat comparison has no relevance.
by alakan81 on Mar 21, 2010 4:27 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
But Raji is a 3-4 NT and plays in 1 now...not a 4-3 DT. It has all of the relevance since that is why he was drafted by GB as a NT.
It doesn’t matter ’cause Cody is overated and we should not draft him. It is the uneducated fan that keeps jumping on his fattass bandwagon and considering him the end all be all NT. Last year at this time I was on that bandwagon till I started educating myself about him and have switched my opinion based on all of the things I have read and games I have viewed. Some of you will wise up and some of you will be caught in his fatassiness pseudo play. Not worth arguing the ignorance.
Are you serious with this mess?
You produced statistics for Raji from his senior year in college, WHEN HE PLAYED DT IN A 4-3. That’s called a straw man argument, because you’re introducing irrelevant information to support an opinion that can’t possibly be based in a reality that features you actually watching Cody play for more than about 30 seconds.
Do you know what a nose tackle’s role is in a 3-4? It doesn’t seem like it with the way you attempt to use stats to make your point. Here’s a stat for ya: Alabama didn’t allow a single player to rush for over 100 yds for the two years Cody started at nose. Were there other great players on those teams? Yes, but Cody was a vital part in basically eliminating runs up the middle. He was double or triple teamed on most every snap and still dominated(despite your reasoning that his stats don’t support that). Did you or did you not watch him play more than a few times?
by alakan81 on Mar 21, 2010 6:55 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
He drafted TJack because
TJack was a better DE than Raji was projected at NT.
