My comment about long runs is that even guys who run 4.4 will rarely break a long run by outrunning everyone to the corner. The DBs and LBs are fast and in combination with the angle, they will usually get you before you get too far away. The key to long run is hitting it right up into the teeth of the defense which takes away the angle the DBs can use to catch you downfield.

I always liked Bell... always will... my ONLY problem with him was his straight-ahead running style... he doesn't seem to juke at times when he could... but he is a NICE RB...

Julius ran a 4.37 and a 4.43 at the combine if I remember correctly... not exactly sure... but I am sure someone here knows... I won't "BOOK-IT" but am fairly sure of it...

The thing I like about Julius is his ability to kick it into high gear... it is amazing... he was the best at that in this draft... hope we see alot of it...
