So. No answer. Just a bunch of pseudo intellectual jargon to try to come across as intelligent. I figured as much. When you can actually explain how to make a slow person fast and why coaches are purposely not doing it. I'll respond. Otherwise you're just blowing hot air.

Please, genius. Explain how these magical speed exercises make slow players fast. Explain why every single coach in the whole world isn't using them if they actually work. You're spouting off here like you're some kind of scientist. Explain to everyone why they're wrong instead of just saying...

If speed can be taught, why isn't every program in the nation applying these pseudo science techniques to make their players faster. You can not make a slow person fast.

Exactly. You cannot teach someone speed. When you hear about players improving 40 times it's because they've been coached to properly run a 40 yard dash as efficiently as possible. It really has no effect on their football speed. If you could actually make slow guys faster, every single...

Brandon McGee ran a blistering 40. His *** got blistered by receivers he couldn't cover.

40 times can be improved through coaching. Being a fast football player is not something that can be taught. There's a reason why NFL bound players pay track coaches to show them how to run the 40. They're already fast. They're just looking for technique to run the most efficient 40 yard dash.

Then they go to the combine and that 4.49 becomes a 4.64.

You know why we had a lot more 4.3 guys back in the day? Because testing was far less accurate. It was a coach with a stop watch. He decided how fast he wanted guys to be. Watch the NFL combine and see how many laser 4.3 times there are. Not many. Lots of 4.3 guys get really slow at the combine.

The fastest linebacker in the nation isn't anywhere near 4.3.

Girth>length at least that's why I've been told.

Don't get too jealous. Miami was 1st in pass efficiency defense. Ohio State was 44th.

Its' always good to have fast guys. Let me just say that right away. However, with the short passing game becoming the norm in football in general, straight line 40 yard speed is starting to take a bit of a back seat to other attributes. Quickness and change of direction ability is premium...
