Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXVI

[31VFL]

Butch on Warrior:
First of all let’s talk about Nigel Warrior. I'll tell you what, I'm really really excited. Tremendous training camp. Really stepped up yesterday. Really made case for himself for early pt in back end of defense and spec teams as well. Nigel is an individual who'sl very, very gifted. Tremendous instincts. Show him something one time and he gets it. The way he ran sideline to sideline defensively, great scrimmage (on Saturday).

Randolph tore his ACL. Out for the year

That sucks for him!

 

[UTMVol76]

Bolts speed is the same at 100m as it is at 40m. Unreal.

 

[Catbone]

He's just too good.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Got this bad boy for an early b-day gift.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Bolt is the goat.

 

[tonybologna]

He's just too good.

Yeah, his last 40 yards of closing is like no other & there will probably never be no other like him either.

 

[Glitch]

I honestly had no idea Jeff Dr is kelly made an NFL team.

You want me to call you a cab or an uber? Your choice but we're gonna have to cut you off.

Someone will be faster.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Gatlin didn't have a prayer

 

[Aesius]

Warrior will be starting at safety next to TK by Florida IMO

 

[tonybologna]

Someone will be faster.

Are you serious? No way! Runners like Bolt only come around once every 50-100 years & we won't be around to see if there is in 100 years.

Times always come down. Always.

20 years ago substitute Carl Lewis for Bolt in this.

Interestingly enough, improvements in track surface quality have made a pretty significant impact on the improvement in sprinter's times over the last several decades. There is a really great TED talk about it (see below). Bolt is the real deal though. He would still beat anyone who has ever competed. It puts things in perspective though.

Difference is I can't stand Carl Lewis. Dude was such a Pre Madonna

Sounds like we may not even have to wait that long. Brice is hearing he has a great shot at starting day 1 beside Kelly jr with Gaulden at nickel.

He should have played baseball

And Michael Johnson 16 years ago

It's certainly possible. Butch just seems more comfortable rolling with veterans or guys with at least some experience at first. Makes me think Abernathy may get the nod to start the year.

 

[weallvol]

Anyone else's Twitter account just get nuked? All of a sudden Twitter has no record of my account and I can't even change my password (says no account exists with my email address), but when I try to register a new account, it says there's already an account tied to my email. WTF.

Twitter has been screwed up for the last few weeks I've had the same problem I called them out and mine was restored but still very slow to load I assume it's due to my right wing constitution loving a$$

Not when you have Bolt that's set the 100m record time more than once.

20 years ago substitute Carl Lewis for Bolt in this.

Lewis didn't run as fast a 100m time as Bolt though. I'm talking about overall in their careers & not just for the Olympics. Bolt has the fastest 100m time ever. It will not be broken & if it does most of us won't be around to see it.

Bolt ran a 9.58 & Lewis personal best ever was a 9.86. That's not very close & not a good comparison to Bolt. Gatlin would be better than using Lewis as a comparison in the 100m events.
