Team Speed

I no longer pay attention to these times. Does it show who is faster relative to the rest of the roster? I suppose. But it has virtually no correlation to on-field speed. I remember Dee Wiggins had a ridiculous speed while he was here.

And, for context, the fastest NFL 2022 season speeds topped out at 22.11. Only 2 guys IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE got faster than 22.

Skinner and Colbie Young are very surprising. Porter being that slow at his height/weight likely what kept him off the field. Huge red flag. At 5'10-511 and 175 you should be a 21.5-22.0 MPH guy to stack up to an "average" athletic profile to make up for lack of size.

Curtis being that low is also alarming but his time is closer to what it should be.

After seeing this I expect more from Harris, Graves, and Brown than I originally thought.

I've told people since we signed him that Graves has arguably the best athletic profile on the team.

Time for it to matter.

Dee Wiggins had ridiculous on-field speed too. He just couldn't catch the clap in a sorority house.

Also, maybe I'm in the minority, but I didn't take these times as anything other than an indicator or who is fast compared to who on this singular roster. Does this mean Miami has good team speed? I don't know and these times don't answer that, to me. What I took from this is who is the fastest of this group, not how they stack up against people we play. And Jacurri Brown having the 2nd highest top end speed is eye-opening, to me. If someone can teach that kid to throw the oblong shaped pigskin thing forwards to the guys in the same colored shirts, he might be able to do something. Because this might not be the fastest team in the country, but I know we have at least some kids who can really run. If he's the 2nd fastest when he opens it up completely, that's impressive and is something to work with at that position. Now figure out how to get him to throw the ball accurately and he can be a problem.

lol at "ridiculous". His speed was faster than Jaylen Waddle's yet it never translated. Even when he did make splash plays, I would hardly call him electric like Waddle. That's my point.

On field play shows you whether or not we have team speed. We don't really - it's pretty average in the ACC. You don't need a fancy doohickey on your sports bra to tell you that.

Exactly. What do defenses look like? What do other offenses look like? How about position vs. position? It's nice information to have, but not very telling without context.

Yea….I’m pretty sure these scores were recorded in a controlled environment and not during a game or a scrimmage. Tyreke hit 22mph wearing full gear in a game. With big grown *** men in the way, trying to hit him. A couple of our guys hit 22 with underwear running in a straight line. For all we know, it could have been on a track or another hard surface. It is not the same. It wouldn’t surprise me if Tyreke could hit high 23 to 24 with those advantages. I’m pretty sure we got a few fast kids on the roster, but we don’t play fast… and No way in **** do we got kids outchea running alongside Tyreke.
 
Just for the record, I am PRO team speed! All you anti-team speed posters can suck my big dong.

****. Shades of Dee Wiggins and the infamous class of 2018.

A number 8 class that ended up doing absolutely nothing for us. Brevin, Mallory and Rousseau. That was it.
 
What good is it to be 4.3 and 22mph if you can’t be at the right place or unable to diagnose a play.
Maybe we can find coordinators that can maximize in all that athleticism or put that alleged football iq we hear so much about to good use.

Catching the ball would also help a great deal.
So would tackling.

Ain’t gonna do much good to run 22 mph with if you have brick hands.
4.3 as a db don’t mean sht if your man runs by you cause you thought you had safety help.
4.4 linebacker that reads the wrong play or shoots the wrong gap.

We’ve had enough speed to win the coastal.
We’ve averaged 7-8 wins for almost 20 years.
And team speed has never been the reason.
 
Sometimes I wonder if this board has any ability to ever put anything in context

Does this mean the end all be all? No.

Is it useless information? No.
