Having Banks as a KR/PR was basically the only homerun threat we had last year. So losing him is going to suck. Who might replace him?
Brod?
Chris?
:dunno:
-
Short fast guy

Isn't the kid from Wichita putting up retardedly fast 40's? Since DT will handle the RB'ing, let the Wichita kid run things back.
-
I hear Tate moves really well side to side...we should give him a shot at it
-
Tremaine Thompson
-
Ah, yes. Demarcus Robinson.
Wonder who will be the primary backup to DT, Robinson or Hubert?
-
I don't think DR even returned punts/kicks in high school but I could be mistaken. Tramaine would be my guess, now that it looks like Mosely is a no-show. The reports from camp point to DR being the primary back-up to DT. Our backfield could be crap hot next season...
-
I'm thinking Tramaine Thompson and William Powell kick returning. With one of those guys returning the punts. Heard that Will Powell has turned heads in the return game (top 3 on the team in terms of 40 time as well)....
-
I didn't realize Powell was that fast. You happen to know who the fastest guys were? I'm assuming D Rob would be towards the top as well.
-
Powell, and I really dnt kno
-
:users:
-
D-rob did return kick offs in high school. The two games I saw him he didn't return the punts though.

"William is a 4.45 guy who probably is the second fastest guy on our team (to Terrance Sweeney)," said Dimel.
-
last week someone posted DR ran a 4.40.
-
Our team speed is laughably bad
-
We are lighting quick.
-
LOL at people being so ignorant of 40 times. A 4.40 was the 5th fastest overall time at the combine. A 4.43 was the 12th fastest.
-
Oh- A report in the practice updates thread had D Rob as the fastest player, running a 4.38.

True or false...OB used his 1930s pocket watch to record that time?
-
Guess if diminishing the abilities of a 4* RB that may play a key role in the program's future is your thing...

1. Now that he's with the program, identifying him by the number of stars some recruiting site losers gave him is sad.
2. Insisting that a RB isn't as fast as a team-announced 40-time claims, is not "diminishing" his skills. The team is as likely to lie about a 40 as they are to lie about weight/height.
3. 40 time not a huge deal with RBs...see D. Thomas getting pulled down from behind all year last year for example.
-
So- DT getting pulled down from behind somehow illustrates the unimportance of speed? Seems like that does the exact opposite. If DT had better speed, he wouldn't be getting caught from behind.
-

Kids heart is so big he could probably drag 7 defenders at least 5 extra yards everytime. We can also count on him never calling a fair catch.

The point is that DT isn't the fastest back in the league but is the best back in the league. Thus, I don't care about his made up 40 time, nor to I care about any other RB's times. Obviously, you do care about such things...this makes you wrong.
-
We are lighting quick.
But only side-to-side
-
Isn't the fastest back in the league X2? Gotcha. And you should definitely care about other RBs. The game is actually played by more than just one guy, you know.

The ol' type-o defense. I have been bettered on this day.

Tap-out excepted, KCChiefDav. Seriously, it's hard to even type KCChief with a straight face.

I picked the screenname when my parents got AOL when i was in like 5th grade (a hundred years ago). I only use it now because I can type it one handed...with my less dominant hand.

sorry to get off subject but.............."Brodrick Smith and later Tramaine" from a reliable source.
:kstatriot:

Sweet, I was thinking that Brod wasn't fast enough. Good to know he has that type of speed.
-
Brod is going to be a manimal

True, and he forgot to wind it so the 4.38 is probably closer to 4.78
-
I must have missed the point when Snyder changed from HOF coach to complete Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). :facepalm:
-
40 times are just as much about reaction time as they are speed. Just because a guy has a slower 40 time doesn't mean he doesn't have a 5th gear that blows past everyone. :users:
-
Reaction times are extremely important in football. And 40 times are important enough for the NFL to make multi-million dollar decisions based on them, so I tend to also put stock in them.

Since OBallz is, well, old, his reaction time would make a 4.38 be closer to an actual 3.98.

That's not true. They make those decisions based on a massive amount of data some measurable and some not. The 40 time is in the notebook but it's not the whole notebook.

40 times are the opposite of being about reaction. Unless you are talking about the reaction of the timer. I guess K-state might do it differently than everyone else, but usually the timer starts when the player starts moving.
EDIT: But just so we are clear, I think 40 times are stupid anyway. Not a very accurate measurement of speed.

uh yeah... point out where I said a fast 40 time was worthless. I was more making the statement that a slower 40 time doesn't always mean dick when you're talking about who the fastest person is. specifically that a 4.38 and a 4.6 might not make a shits bit of difference when a guy with a hair second slower reaction time can catch a kick return, have vision and outrun everyone.
-
Everything else equal, the skill position player with the faster 40 time will get drafted higher. It's like the bench press for the big guys. You tank those at the combine and your stock plummets. Why do you think so much is made of the combines? NFL scouts love measurables, amd for RBs, DBs, and WRs, the 40 time is the king of measurables.

The opposite, really? pfft. :lol:
Did BMW make a "cat" sock? :lol:
edit: apparently, I'm the BMW sock. Just re-read your post and now understand what you were saying. :facepalm:

I hope we force a punt.

See '04 & '05... the two years when our team finally underachieved, causing everybody that's NOT a GPC member to turn on Coach.
:rolleyes:
