Exactly, I can't begin to count the times I've tried to get somebody to understand this point when they bring up how Harper is slow because Bradford ran him down on that play.

Also, Vincent Jackson had a lingering foot problem which had an affect on his speed, which allowed Jenkins to run him down on that famous play this past season.

One needs to contextualize these plays because they don't take place in a vacuum.

I don't think Roman Harper is slow because Bradford caught him. He definitely was gassed. I think he's slow...because he's slow. Lol.

I also notice how basketball players always rub their elbow when they miss an easy shot....

Yeah, but that was a real medical concern.

I remember that it was discussed in the pregame show and during the game, which is why I thought it was weird that it wasn't mentioned as a reason Jenkins was able to run him down when the play happened.

This was our defensive play of the year and I ain't lettin' go of it until we have another one! We're going to do more than fine with Jenkins especially since he won't have to do Patrick's job as well any more.

Usain Bolt have a slow 40 but no one can pass him in the 100 meter. They need to change the 40x to 100 meters. The avg qb can throw 55 to 65 yards
Interesting because:

Usain Bolt's splits during the Olympic 100m race: RT 0.165, 10m 1.85, 20m 2.87 (1.02), 30m 3.78 (0.91), 40m 4.65 (0.87)
or some at 40 yards would be approx 3.8 to 4.0?

But that is assuming Usain Bolt on an ideal surface, from starting blocks, wearing spikes for more force to push off WITHOUT being decked in Under Armour gear.

If we all did qualify, then we'd be on forums whinin' about folk who did useful stuff like law enforcement, fire fighting, teaching and fixing your car.
