Davon Jacobs aka Iron Man!

[MikeRU1766]

According to an NJ.com article Flood has stated that Davon Jacobs for the 2nd straight year was voted at a star of the off season conditioning program which is great news for this kid because that is the fastest way to get yourself on the field. And honestly if for 2 straight years he is a star of the conditioning program that means this is kid is in absolutely CRAZY shape because Rutgers Strength and Conditioning Coach Jeremy Cole is extremely well known for the quality of his program and the results he obtains. (Just see all of the 1, 2 and 3 star recruits out of high school that he made into NFL caliber players... imagine what he will begin to do once he starts working with 3, 4, and 5 star recruits that will be SCARY for opposing teams!)
Anyway I cannot wait to see Kiy Hester and this kid roaming around at the safety position because they both have great hands to intercept the ball and also have the physical capability to cause fumbles and in general to make WR's think twice before coming across the middle on us!

Can't hit WRs anymore or it is a penalty. You have to two hand touch them. Damn rules and Referees are killing football. No more big hits allowed.

Not to pour water on the fire for Cole that you have but he has been in charge of the program for what 3 years? Who are all of these guys you are giving him credit for turning into NFL players?? And do position coaches get any credit here at all?

Plus "1 star recruits"? huh?!

But you did.

That is great, but can he take the correct angles to WR, or RB's, and can he cover? Does he have the ability to read Offenses or see WR patterns. Those things to are more important attributes for a Safety, then looking like Arnold.

Only issue is speed..

 

[Ru2bnj]

Thats good to hear ..but it has to translate to the field. It should be an interesting battle between him and Hester at the Strong Safety position.

Needs to move down a level. Add some weight and will be much better just like khaseem greene did.

Hester and Jacobs play the same position, so you wont see them roaming around at the same time...if that is what you meant

 

[MikeRU1766]

Huh? Pretty much the majority of players that Rutgers has sent to the NFL in the past 3 years were 3 stars or less coming out of high school. If you want examples, Duron Harmon, Steve Beauharnis, and Marcus Cooper all spent time with Jeremy Cole before getting drafted into the NFL and that is just off the top of my head. So I stand by my point that Jeremy Cole creates NFL prospects.

 

[MikeRU1766]

Harmon and Beauharnis were 3 stars and Marcus Cooper was a 2 star recruit according to Yahoo. And Marcus Cooper was a NO STAR recruit according to ESPN

Wasn't he at the Will in 2013 and was moved to safety in 2014?

Edit, it was the case.

Cole was the strength assistant for most of those guys. You're claiming a S&C assistant is the person that created multiple NFL prospects? Not the actual position coaches, HC or even the head S&C coach but the assistant?

What is up with you SC1221? It seems like you try to nit pick at everyone's conversations rather than add anything to it.

I started a "topic" about Jacobs being voted a Strength and Conditioning strength MVP and then mentioned our Strength and Conditioning coach.
To most people when you are talking about a player developing and being voted MVP of the off season training program then it would be LOGICAL to mention the Strength and Conditioning coach as well.

Why are you saying all that stuff about position coaches, head coaches, etc? Of course they play a HUGE role in the development of a player.
But this topic was all about Strength and Conditioning so I don't understand the purpose of your post. I never said Cole was the only reason I just said he was responsible for getting these guy up to NFL caliber (from a strength and conditioning viewpoint OBVIOUSLY since that is what the post is all about and that is what the the coach does!)

P.S The guys I mentioned were drafted in 2013 so that means that they all spent the most integral year of their training (aka the year of training right before the NFL Combine, NFL team workouts, and NFL tryouts, etc.) with Jeremy Cole as the HEAD S&C coach. If my math is wrong and he was only the assistant then I'm sorry. But either way you are missing the whole point of me starting the topics to point out the impact Jacobs might have this year and in the future because of his stellar off season training.

SC1221 I see you have over 8,000 posts on this message board. It seems like you clearly care about and have a passion for RU football (unless you a just a mega troll).

I would love to see you post some interesting topics to the board and share some insight that you must have from being on the board so long rather than trying to nit pick and convolute other people's topics to the point where the thread isn't even about the initial point of the thread anymore.
