T.O. speed

[TobiasEagle77]

When it comes to Owen's speed, I like to put it like this. TO is not a burner. He's a flamer.

 

[apickmans]

lol i bet you sit up late at night dreaming that eh? Good keep your dreams, cause the skins will be getting owned again

Heh no I might of stayed up THAT night dreaming of the 2 Moss plays but that was it. Like i said earlier, we'll see.

That kept me up all nite too...

And when we were embarassed 35-7, I didn't sleep well either.

 

[apickmans]

Enjoy it while you can because it is going to be another 7 years before you beat us again....

I still see visions of Crayton burning Taylor .....man, that was nice

Ah yes the infamous Crayton burning Taylor play (even though Taylor was never lined up across from him, taylor just didnt see the play fast enough to react in time). Hey ill give it to ya, Crayton made the game winning TD, but its not like that game had playoff implications. I'm not gonna say it didnt hurt, cuz it did, but i bet moss beating you guys deep hurt more.

TO's 10 yard dash time has to be superior as is Steve Smith's. But no way TO runs over a 4.4. TO can get to top Speed in no time, and I don't see very many people catching him after he blows past them. I'm thiking he's a 4.3 guy with a 42" Verticle Leap, and strong as an ox. He is the Perfect Athlete.

I don't think he's a true burner, but that doesn't prevent him from getting behind the secondary a lot for a guy who draws so much attention. He caught a lot of deep passes with the Eagles.

The problem with a lot of true burners in the NFL is they can't get off the line of scrimmage. That's never been a problem with TO. He can take your best shot and never miss a stride. When he was playing with the Eagles I thought Terrence was actually a better matchup againt him than Henry, despite the size difference, because Henry's reliance on being physical at the line of scrimmage just plays right into TO's game. Everyone talks about how you need big CB's to cover a guy like TO, but he can outmuscle anybody so you're better off just turning and running with him.

Totally agree

 

[Bob Sacamano]

TO may not be a burner, but he's still pretty fast

 

[trueblue1687]

10.16 is not fast...it's VERY fast!!

 

[AdamJT13]

10.16 is not fast...it's VERY fast!!

That's 10.16 for 100 yards, not 100 meters. That's not that fast -- about a 10.80 in the 100 meters.

The Champ Bailey play can show what can happen if you make a mistake and fail to get a good chuck on Owens at the line. He is more than fast enough to run away from most players.

Rice wasn't a burner. Neither was Irvin.

There's more to the position than pure speed. If the player can run a 4.5, that's fast enough. I don't care what Owens runs in the 40. I do care that he can get separation, which he has shown throughout his career.

All those plays are history my man...Speaking of history, we own you.

As for last years hurting more because of playoff implications...All I can say to that is that it Would have hurt more had you not choked in the playoffs and won the superbowl...but alas...its just history.

Relax guy, I'm not here trying to bring up who owns who. As for us choking in the playoffs, well thats just totally wrong. Seattle was better than us that day, we had no offense.

That's like saying a 4.5 isnt that fast. Yeah, it's average as far as NFL WRs go, but by normal standards its hauling some serious ***.

Why would we be going by "normal" standards though?

Just saying its silly to say that isnt fast when it's faster than 95% of the people on the planet

Drew Bledsoe is faster than 95 percent of the people on the planet.

Isn't a yard longer than a meter? I thought it was. If it is, then 100 yards would be further than 100 meters, making a 10.16 in 100 yards more impressive than a 10.16 in 100 meters.

I might be thinking wrong, and I'm breaking the 11th commandment (Thou shalt not disagree with Adam), but I think a yard is longer than a meter.

Edit: I should've checked first. A meter is longer than a yard... so you were right Adam.

 

[The30YardSlant]

Drew Bledsoe is faster than 95 percent of the people on the planet.

I sincerely doubt that. he runs what, a 4.8? 4.9? At best? Every single QB, WR, RB, and DB on my average HS team could run better than that.
