Was that due to raw speed? Or was Amerson biting on things like play action or double moves allowing Patterson to get behind him?
I'm most excited to see what Rhodes and Trufant run now. But Amerson with the 4.38 people were talking about him as a safety because of subpar speed. I think he may have alleviated those concerns with a showing like that.
Anyone that was hoping Milliner was somehow going to make it to Miami's pick can now put that to rest. Some team is going to have to jump the Lions to get him
More like which one bit on the out-and-up double move and which one didn't...but I get your point. When David Amerson runs a 4.38 and Johnthan Banks runs a 4.59, I need to go back to sleep and wake up and again. Mind = blown.
Ready to see Xavier Rhodes run now. With Miami wanting to play more press, I really think this guy will be high on their board.
I'm shocked. Just last night I confirmed for myself that Cordarrelle Patterson has legit Stephen Hill speed and now it suddenly makes a clip that I had isolated against NC State make all that much more sense.
I wonder if Brandon McGee is going to be yet another University of Miami player that is better in the NFL than he was in college? Randy Shannon's staff did very little towards player development it appears.
Milliner real fast, makes those two plays that Eifert went head to head to start the championship game even more impressive.
I wish the honey badger wasn't such a dope..I think I'd still take a chance on him, don't care much about his reps on the bench, he's a playmaker in space, sees things that others don't, or sees them quicker than most, we need defensive playmakers, think I would have to think hard in the fourth.
All in on that RT Swope connection?... That familiarity is intriguing and much more pleasant to think about knowing what we know from a physical aspect on Swope?... It's not just throwing our Qb a bone, he's a talented football player.
Some team will make the mistake of buying into what he's doing in his underwear though. When you put the film on, yes, he makes plays, but he also gives up a lot of them. I maintain my stance that he is little more than a nickle/dime corner/safety and a special teams maven in the NFL.
Mayock brings up a good point about spending time in the gym, Dion repsonds that he just might not be that strong..
This was what I'd expected. Now he needs to have a top three (at worst top five) shuttle time for me to feel okay about him as a first rounder... especially at 12. Come on kid. Get it done. (I wish he'd fall to our second round pick, but there is no way that'll happen. This is another guy, like Eifert, who we won;t get because of where his value falls. He's not worth a 12, probably, but will never make it to the 2nd)
Like dions comments, says he watched him side by side with Pat Peterson, serious conviction that he will be a great player at the next level..asked him very tough questions about weed, says he would trust him now, TM says he won't let it affect his career.
KB, I want Banks, but I think his slow time make Jeff Ireland pass on him at 12. It will make Jeff feel less certain about him. Jeff is a scout at heart and very married to measurables and templates. I can't see him taking a 4.59 CB at 12th overall. A shame. Banks is great. Great.
I think the honey badger would be ideally suited for nickel corner. I think bigger receivers in the NFL would have their way with him on the outside. 3rd round? i would take him if he was available along with someone else in the 1st or 2nd. Cant argue agaisnt his playmaking potential though.
Goes to show how track speed and football speed can be very different. Reading a play, recognizing it, having instincts that let you break early on a play are so much more important than flat out 40 times.
I like how he plays the game on the field, all play makers take chances with consequences, but today he's shown that he has speed, I understand the red flag, and I'm a low risk guy, but he seems like a player that others gravitate to, and to me that's a sign if respect for his talent, they know, and were not talking about a 2nd rounder, maybe late 3rd or 4th, we sure could upgrade that nickel corner, and if we could figure out the risk on this player the value is completely there, the reward could be there KB..
When is the last time a CB ran around a 4.6 and was good in the NFL. I understand high 4.4s and a 4.5 or so. But a 4.6? Wow. I figured he would run high 4.4s or super low 4.5s
