Greg had a 3rd Round grade on Chiefs DE Tyson Jackson, who went #3 overall to the Chiefs and has been a massive disappointment to this point. "A glorified 'try hard' guy." Ouch. Jackson has come on lately, but still isn't exactly a great player. Cosell says he could certainly end up having a solid career, but I think that's still bust-worthy for a #3 overall pick.
When Doug asked if Cosell could point to one thing to give Dolphins fans hope in their game against the Chiefs this Sunday, Cosell responded simply, but brutally, with "No."
Greg thinks that Curtis Painter has a good chance of becoming a starting-caliber NFL QB. Really likes what he's seeing from Painter this year, despite Colts' suckage.
Cosell says "at his best, from a physical talent standpoint, Dez Bryant is a Top 3 WR."
When Farrar mentioned that Sean Lee is out for the Seahawks game, Cosell's reaction was "oh boy..." Cosell then went on a mini-rant about how bad Bradie James and Keith Brooking are. Thanks for confirming what I see, Greg.
Cosell heaps praise on Jim Harbaugh for "manufacturing offense." Says that 49ers O is just as untalented as ever, but Harbaugh is scheming them to success to an extreme degree. Inventive playcalls, but also minimizing risk.
Greg seemingly wouldn't be opposed to shutting Chris Johnson down for the season. Says he brings nothing to the table right now. Absolutely believes Javon Ringer should be the workhorse in Tennessee.
Great discussion about QBs and QB attributes that I'm not going to get into here. Too much info, just listen for yourself if you want to hear it.
Eli Manning is a "high-level system player" according to Greg, or in easy terms, "great but not elite." Cosell credits him with being very smart, orchestrating a lot at the line, including the run game.
Cosell says "Kevin Kolb is everything we say Tim Tebow is." Basically, doesn't throw the ball well, but has all of the non-physical attributes (intangibles). Interesting.
Look out for O'Brien Schofield, says Greg. Who? Backup OLB in Arizona.
Cosell thinks Jason Peters is the best LT in football so far this year.
