'15 TX QB Quinten Dormady (UT Commit 6/9/14)

lol 40 times again.. If Bo Wallace can be a running threat, then all our QBs will be just fine.

If the other guys get their blocks, he could run a 6.2 40 and pick up a 1st down here and there.

The point is that .4s is about a step or step and a half. It seems like some people think the difference between a very low 40 time, like a 4.3, and a more common 40 of 4.7 is 7-10 yards. It's really not.

If it held up for 100 yards, then a 4.7 40 guy would only need about a 6-7 yard head start to outrun a 4.3 guy from end-zone to end-zone.

And when you take away the straight lines, and add different angles? Oh wait, that won't help you prove your point, lets not bring that up.

4.7 is hauling ass, imo. The difference between a 4.7 & a 4.3 is only 4 tenths of a second... if you think about it, that's maybe a step & a half slower across the 40 line. I think I saw somewhere that Manziel runs a 4.68.

Incorrect. The difference in a 4.3 and 4.4 at 40 yards is 3.7 yards

Do you understand what I'm saying??

It would only add to the point I'm trying to make. A 6-7 yard head start is something that happens all the time when you consider angles. A 4.7 guy would have no issue being effective in a run game - unless he got no blocks or doesn't know how to avoid defenders.

I could care less how fast Dormady runs. All that matters is if he makes sound decisions, can accurately deliver the ball to the playmakers in space, and takes on the leadership of the team.

Pure speed a runNing QB makes does not.

Wrong. You assume they would maintain this pace percentile across the yardage you state. If what you said was correct, every no wide receiver would ever be caught from behind. The difference in a legit 4.3 and 4.7 is huge. (I'm a lot closer to 5.0)

Yup. Let the playmakers make the plays.

No, the difference is not huge. At speed, .1s = about 1.3 yards.

Do you understand what I am saying? It's not as simple and 1 yard head start, 6 yard head start or a -20 yard start. This is football, there are many intangibles and split second decisions multiple players make that could change the outcome of a play.

No, I guess I don't understand what you're saying, at least not all of it.

One of the best posts I've seen you make Tux. I agree 100%. Getting the ball to the playmakers is what really matters.

So you find a typo'd sentence and bold it to show you "don't" understand all of it. I guess that means I successfully blew up your point. :hi:

I think I run a 4:27.0 40. My 400 time is good too.

Forgot to add that I have to stop and rest about every 5 yards.

No. You asked if I understand what you are saying and I pointed out that I do not and why I do not.

Okay... :good!:

That's what a lot off ppl don't understand because UT has been pro style so long- this offense thrives best when the qb is also a running threat(playmaker).

Not necessarily true. It's all about making quick decisions. We run a prostyle offense still, don't fool yourself.

Not since Butch came. Dormady can run the o. Lets not act like CBJ doesn't like a qb with wheels though. We run a spread. A pro style has a fullback. Do we even have 1 single fullback on the roster?

A pro style has a fullback? What??

 

[Tux]

Who says a pro style offense has to utilize a fullback?

Most pro offenses are one back sets.

Not going to argue with you. There is a huge difference in how fast a 4.3 guy plays vs a 4.7

Jase Stubbs a FB just walked on. He may not play much, but they did add him to the roster.
