Dundermifflinite Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Are you really a girl? You're have more knowledge about football than about 90% of the guys on here. And who the heck is Mistress Denna? Quote Link to comment

teamster Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Football is not a straight-line race of 40 yards. That is why 40-yard dashes don't matter that much. And in defense, knowing how to position yourself is a lot more important than straight-line speed. The fastest cornerback who consistently falls out of position isn't going to catch up in time to a crisp route that leaves him in the dust. Yes, speed does still matter. But a 40-yard dash number only tells so much and especially when it comes to HS recruiting...it tells us little. Sometimes it is a straight line race, for example a DB covering a WR on a fly route, or a FS chasing down a RB to make a touchdown saving tackle. So yes a players 40 time absolutely matters. Now I will agree with you that 40 times have become over-rated and over-hyped due in large measure to espn. However, that's why all those other drills: cone, shuttle, broad and vertical jumps, etc are used by scouts in conjunction with the 40 to determine athletic ability. Are you really a girl? You're have more knowledge about football than about 90% of the guys on here. Baffling, aint it? .....and potentially intimidating. Quote Link to comment

Screen cap is from the Legend of the Seeker TV show based on the Sword of Truth books. Mistress Denna tortures people. Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Luckys 40 time, for instance, was taken at camps before he attended college. so you cant really blame the recruiting sites, if anyone is to blame it would be the people holding the stop watches at camps.... Don't they use laser systems now when tracking 40 times to get an accurate time? Quote Link to comment
DeathCultArmaggedon Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Depends on when/where they time it. I know that at one point, all the high schoolers that attended Nebraska's summer camps were timed using electronic timing systems. Quote Link to comment

Don't listen to her..She was the coach's daughter in "Remember the Titans". And now..I think she's a cheerleader in "Heroes" Naughty, I tell ya! Quote Link to comment
