[QUOTE=SteveC1834;2386879]The one thing that agitates me about 40 times is that the guys run out of a sprinters stance. How the hell does that translate into NFL speed? I'd love to see them get in a 2 point or 3 point stance; something that is relevant. But, hey, what the hell do I know?[/QUOTE]
it does not.........but what does matter is the first ten yds.........every team looks at the 10 and twenty splits with DE DT and LB...........that is what makes you elite...........with OLB they also look at their cone drills too tell them about how fast out of breaks they are...........Gholtson kille dthose too and Groves ran his cone this spring and it was like he was a running back being below 6.5............it was jaw dropping..............CLong had a decent cone score but he is not close to the other two...........
I'll give you another point..........3 cones are big for the WR too..........Remember Boldin ran a 4.78 and he still went in two to AZ and everyone said they were nuts..............well he had the third best 3 cone time and it told them he was outstanding out of breaks.............guess who posted the third best 3 cone for WR this yr.............Earl Bennett and his 4.51 forty............i bet he goes much higher now than anyone expects. You can have a guy a run 4.3 time but a 4.5 guy can be the better player because long speed is rarely used in a football game............everything is out of breaks.
