Sunday Combine Thread

Dude, you seriously do not understand anything to do with a 40 time. If you would just go read what people have studied for freakin' years, maybe then you would understand what everyone is trying to tell you.

Hand-held times have ALWAYS been faster. Ask anyone with a brain that has followed football and they will tell you this.

If you say so. Either way, it's still not consistent.

How is this a pissing contest? The only thing lacking any sort of "point" here is your cute little post here.

It's a pissing contest because you're wasting your breath trying to convince a guy that doesn't want to be convinced. Move on.

Rice = 4.44

Please, Jerry, draft Ray Rice. Thx k bye.

Dude I'm SO on board with you on this. Ray Rice jumped up as my favorite all around back in this with his stuff today. A 4.44 speed is much faster, I believe, than people thought he'd have. He's got more than enough speed to take it the distance. Good hands, carries the ball well, all round goodness out of Rice.

Consider me moved.

It's not that big of a difference because were talking about a impressive 40 time under 4.4 but if it were another player who went from a 4.4 to 5.0 it would be a big difference.

This quote is almost sig worthy.

Unfortunately I'm forced to agree with him as well. Much better showing then I thought for Rice. His get up and go was the only question with him.

Yeah, that made no sense and I'm not being sarcastic:

 

[TellerMorrow34]

That's not what I'm saying. What I am saying is that NFL Network says he ran a 4.27, some scout in the stands may say it was a 4.31. There is just to much variance in reported 40 times.

I think it needs to be adjusted or looked at in a different angle.

Like one poster above suggested. If McFadden comes out and runs a 4.3 on his 2nd attempt it justifies a 4.27. But he runs a 4.4 what does that say about his 4.27?

Guess he didnt have to worry about it since he ran a 4.3 his second time around.

 

[theogt]

Chris Johnson ran a 4.24.

 

[SDogo]

This has to be the fastest class of RB's in a long time

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Huh...went from 4.29 to 4.24 his second time. Sorta blows away the idea that these guys CAN'T consistently run their faster times.

 

[tomson75]

Ray Rice looks outstanding in this drill. Smooth and quick.

Dontrell Savage on the other hand...

It's definitely the fastest class ever. But some of that has to do with them changing the turf.

Was going to post something similar. He looked fantastic.

Are you guys watching this online or via TV?



Rice + Barber = Championship!

Is there room on the Ray Rice bandwagon for 1 more?

Should be interesting to see how Pro Day numbers compare even though the schools tend to find fast tracks for the players to perform on.

Why not.

Not really. Last year, which was the first year for them to run on this turf, something like 80% of the 40 times were faster at the Combine than at the players' pro day workouts.

 

[SDogo]

Why not.

Considering we don't have a shot at McFadden, Stewart or probably Rashard it would be nice to land either Rice, Johnson or Charles in that order (for me anyways)

 

[jbsg02]

I'd be hard pressed to trade so much for McFadden when there seems to be so many quality backs in this draft
