2010 NFL Combine

You guys still mad over the combine timing methods, it’s not gonna change. Let’s all pray that James becomes the head guy and make changes.

As a reminder, it’s important to maintain site of the fact that all the talk of official and unofficial 40 times is only relevant amidst forums such as this, media, NFL website and so on.

None of this information exchange is relevant within the context of discussions occurring in front of the draft board at one single NFL organization.

There are multiple talent evaluators representing each of the 32 teams at Indianapolis. Each one documents his own record of events that are timed on his individual score sheet and that’s what is brought back to the team. A minimum of 32 possible different accounts of the same event.

Any place to find splits for the Combine 40’s?

I’d be curious to see how much correlation exists between various segments and final time.

That starting technique is a tumbling mistake and one that I’m certain cost those athletes hundredths, or more.

The extended trail leg almost completely obviates the power it is capable of generating in a more conventional stance in which it is bent. It’s essentially a one legged start.

I was absolutely shocked to see this being used; particularly by the players with T&F backgrounds. My initial thought was that the T&F athletes would have immediately questioned the competence of whoever instructed them to use that stance.

Done that way the forward leg then becomes solely responsible for driving out of the start position.

The Texans are moving your boy to WR, I think he would be a bigger match up problem at TE.
