Has T.O. Lost a Step?

[theogt]

Actually I've seen 4.36 and up...

For Felix Jones? His best time at the Combine was a 4.44. Anything else is not true.

No, he never ran an official 4.3 time. He didn't run at his Pro Day and that is the only "official" time other than the Combine. At the Combine he ran a 4.44. Clearly, TO is still faster than a 4.44.

Yeah, I know he is faster than his combine time. I read that too. Now I Can't find the link where I read T.O. ran a 4.1 something, at one point. Oh, well, guess it wasn't my thread.

I do think Jones is capable of running a 4.2.....

Nice logic.

Yeah I think that was a "Projected time".

4.47 seems to be the Combine time...

Yeah, I know he is faster by his combine time. I read that too. Now I Can't find the link where I read T.O. ran a 4.1 something, at one point. Oh, well, guess it wasn't my thread.

Well, that's just silly. You should be able to look at him and easily tell he doesn't have great long speed. It's his burst that makes him very good. He gets to top speed immediately and doesn't go much higher than that. Felix had one of the fastest 10 yard splits at the Combine. Only Chris Johnson had a higher 10 yard split (out of the top backs) and that guy is just a freak of nature.

Which is what I'm saying. He has fast-twitched muscles. And when you look at him, he could use a little extra training. His body isn't worn down since he shared his duties in college. He can take it up a notch, I think.

He's never going to get as much training as he did pre-Combine to get his 40 time up.

Here's a Rivals article showing him out of high school at 4.38:

Again, I've seen him at this, 4.4-4.44,4.47 so does it matter?


He's pretty dang fast, agreed?
