Wednesday, 8/26 PractiSe

[Hoyacane1620]

Sudden and complete blackout of info on today's practice? That stinks of COVID.

IDK 247 had it posted yesterday that today and tomorrow would have no media afterwards

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Same with Gayle Sayers.

Sayers was the Greatest Open field runner I've ever seen...but his short career nullifies any GOAT status...

 

[jdmorgan76]

If Frank Gore hadnt had the knee injuries he would be top 5 all time easily...

 

[Coach Macho]

Chaney got that juice too mane, lets just enjoy both them boys doin work, they both rep the U..

Chaney got speed, vision, power too..

That's a big fast SOB.

 

[Coach Macho]

Interesting because Chaney is bigger, and faster.

Definitely not faster. I watched them both run the 40 at a camp. Rooster ran a faster time, in cleats that were 2 sizes too big.
They're both fast though.

 

[Bennubird]

Remember em all and you left out my favorite, at least towards the back part of that era - Earl Campbell. Just a monster.

The Tyler Rose! Indeed he was one of my favorite also. I also forgot Greg Pruitt, probably a few others.

Not trying to make this a debate but Chaney ran 10.77 PR to Rooster’s 11.28. You can bring up a 40 all you want but that’s more acceleration than top end speed. Tyreek Hill is the fastest player in the NFL yet he doesn’t have the fastest 40. Also I believe track spikes are better suited to reach full speed than any pair of big, small, or exact size cleats.

The 40 is the speed metric for football. That's why they do the 40 at combines and not the 100m.

Rooster and Chaney ran the 40 in the presence of each other.

Rooster was faster. *shrug*

Greg Pruitt - Cleveland Browns, right???

You clearly overlooked everything I said, the 40 only test acceleration. It doesn’t test top end speed. Times don’t lie, a 10.77 and a 11.28 is a big difference. Chaney is faster. *Shrug*

 

[NorthEastCane]

You're right. Not claiming he was. Someone was talking about never seeing anyone making the moves Sander's made and I mentioned Sayers.

I like looking at both.. Anyways what were the 40 times for both? They both look fast on film to me

Didnt know Chaney was that fast, 10.7s is legit af.. What year was that becuz I know he enrolled early? Kid probably could of got down to 10.5 10.6 range

 

[Bennubird]

Greg Pruitt - Cleveland Browns, right???

Indeed. I had him as one of my players on my electric football set.

This is rich people problems

 

[No_Fly_Zone]

Jon Lynch's ankles still aren't recovered from facing Barry Sanders.

 

[grover]

Knight, Chaney and Franklin could be as good a trio as as UGA had when they had Gurley, Chubb and Michel.

And you clearly don't understand why the 40 is more relevant to the game of football.
They'll never run 100m during a football play. They will however run 10, 20, 30, 40, etc.
That's why ACCELERATION is more important than "top end speed".

They're not running track, chief. They're playing football.

You're essentially telling me that Chaney is faster in TRACK...
But Rooster is faster in FOOTBALL.

(and guess what they'll be participating in on Saturdays...)

It was 4.51 for Rooster and mid-4.5 for Chaney. Electronic timing.

Hardly a difference.

Maybe Rooster breaks into the high 4.4's if he's not wearing Megatron's cleats.
