He played 2 years at Auburn and you never heard of him in the first one...Just further makes the same point...

At some point a light bulb either comes on or it doesn't. For Fletcher Cox, even, it didn't really happen until his JR year(well, it actually became clear in his soph spring how good he would be)... He showed flashes in year 1 and year 2 sure(and played ALOT more snaps -- which speaks to the depth that we've accumulated) -- but he didn't put it all together. And he wasn't faced with some of the issues that James and Quay are...

People need to be patient with their development -- as long as we're getting good production from the position, which I expect with Eulls and PJ...
