Why Malachi Toney could be faster No second gear)

[CityboyCanes4life82]

What I find hilarious is that he is actually fighting himself when he runs…LOL

The thing I’ve noticed is his running stride once he breaks into the open field. When he hits daylight, it doesn’t look like he has a true second gear. His stride mechanics are what’s slowing him down.

Keeping it simple. He has to much ground contact. Ideally you want to decrease your ground contact and increase your stride length.

To me it’s like he is shuffling his feet..lol. It’s weird because once he his (second gear) his stride decreases which slows him down

what are you talking about? that's just some weird ****.

Mali is……SLOW?????!!!

Needed to pick his knees up on the shoe string tackle. That should've never happened.... but he's 18 lol. That's why this idiot Omar Kelly is completely wrong when he says he doesn't see room for improvement with Malachi. I can see him getting even faster

By the way if you look at his fumble again that was extremely lucky by the defense. Malachi broke both tackles and was taking that to the crib. Defender blinded reached out ripped it out. A shame

guy gets the edge and scores a TD. torches their team and nearly houses the punt. get the f outta here.

OP doesn't have enough ground contact.

 

[canesbaby]

CIS is absolutely wild sometimes.

 

[PennsylvaniaCane]

Has consistently gotten to the corner and broke angles on that punt return. Yet a diving shoe string tackle means he’s slow or doesn’t have a second gear? Get out of here.

 

[BrandCanes]

Oh boy.

 

[Go Canes!!]

OP standing in front of the mirror as he typed that post.

Less ground contact!!!

This is the thread you decided to start today?? wtf am I reading?

What a post lol…most forget that 10 is just a baby lol…another summer in that iron room and I guarantee he not getting caught no more.

 

[TriStarCane]

I swear I’ll go premium if you do entry exams to post

 

[Noliaboi]

He’s super quick in short space and fast/good enough to be elite.

But I think op expecting 4.3 or 4.4 long speed.

Yep once those legs get stronger he’s going to get a tad faster

Good post, too high level for most guys on here and think you dissing him instead of how he can get better.. This is basically track talk and thats hated on this board.. lol..

Whats crazy is his pops was a burner, a good track season would get him right

 

[Disgustipated]

No clue what is trying to be said but Malachi is not slow and does not have too much ground cover. He is short and squatty. wait till this kid comes out of the lab from offseason S&C.

I think he could be a true 4.3 guy. Watch a vid when he gets into the open field. The Texas A&M is a great one to watch.

He has the power and quick twitch to be that 4.3 guy but his stride mechanics appears the be the only issue.

I was wondering if he would work with a track or speed coach to teach him to open up his stride to get that “turn over” for true break away speed.

I’m not saying he’s slow at all and obviously he has good speed. But there’s a difference between short-burst speed and long-term speed, and that’s where turnover comes in.

Guys like Devin Hester aren’t just fast solely because of genetics. They have efficient stride mechanics that allow their turnover to increase once they’re upright and running, which is how they hit that second gear. His stride mechanics are not clean which is preventing him from having that next level speed like Santana Moss or Hester.

The good thing is that he has everything you need to be an elite fast guy. He’s got the burst, the quick-twitch, and the power. Mechanics are actually the easiest thing to fix. This is something that can absolutely be cleaned up in the offseason.

I see, lol

Yeah man he has all the tools to be an elite speed guy. He has the power and quick twitch. Only his mechanics is affecting his top end speed. One off season he can become a true monster.
