UT Pro Day 4-2-14...

[Spartacavolus]

Wish we could have a season redo with Mo Couch involved.

Wish we could.have him this year. Fine with forgetting last year.

4.5 is okay for a runningback. The thing that jumps out at me is the shocking lack of speed at DL. How can you possibly compete in the SEC with defensive ends who barely break 5 seconds in the 40?

It is not just slow 40 speed, it is slow reaction speed that has hurt us the last few years, especially under sal and dysfunctional scheme.

Hopefully by not changing anything on defense, our familiarity with scheme will greatly reduce the reaction time for returning Defenders. And with the new Freshmen, they will have much better speed.

I wish Mo would have implicated Saban, Muschamp and Kiffen in the money for hire program.

Linebackers in the 4.7 range and DB's in the 4.6 range means if they made one cut we could not catch them.....remember the GA QB who ran for like 80 yards on one play and he is not a speedster...

 

[TMvol10]

Neal never showed short burst speed, ie 40 yard dash. He was more of a top end speed runner. Took him too long to really get moving, thats why he was always caught from behind. Also explains why there would be holes for him and he couldn't hit em. Just my observations

 

[Sudden Impact]

I think we're going to have 4 defensive linemen drafted, that's impressive.

unbelievable when you look at their sack total.

How many times did he get run down.

 

[volthruitall]

40 times:
Alex Bullard - 5.69, 5.72
JR Carr - 5.22, 5.27
Mo Couch - 5.32, 5.33
Dan McCullers - 5.25, 5.37
Raijon Neal - 4.53, 4.58
D. Sapp -4.68, 4.71
J. Smith -4.93
M. Walls -5.07, 5.09
Michael Palardy- 4.64
W. Bohannan- 4.99
Eric Gordon- 4.69, 4.77
H. Lathers- 4.69, 4.89
R. Wilks- 4.77, 4.70

Big Dan is faster than Mo?

 

[k-town_king]

The fact that Palardy had the 2nd fastest 40 time speaks volumes about our program Imo.

Good ole Dooley recruiting

 

[volsack7]

Where was Ja'Wuan James?

 

[Biopsyman]

Surprised how fast McCullers is...

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Not really the kid is an athlete.. Dude benches almost 300.

I'm not taking anything away from Palardy, it's more of an indictment of our Linebackers, corners/safeties and even D Ends. This sort of speed at these positions has not and will not get it done going forward, but I'm stating the obvious here. I really think our speed on the edge this year will be dramatically improved. I have very high hopes for Corey Vereen.

 

[Rockytoptalker]

Neal did good at everything besides his 40.

 

[GrowVol]

Proud of all of them, hopefully all of them get drafted....even big Bray(Tiny).

 

[UTFanForLife]

Swain said on the radio that J. James killed it in the linemen drills. Said they did drills for about an hour, a line coach from various NFL teams conducted a few each. Said James was smiling the whole time and was very impressive.

 

[Freak]

Anybody catch these from pro day? Worn by Richardson, Stone, Fulton.

First response that comes to my mind if some dude is asking me that would send me to free agency.

Comparable to Tyler Gaffney out of Stanford. Neal had a great pro day all around besides a kind of weak shuttle. 40 times are hit or miss. Some places mark the time from when they exit the blocks (electronically, like at the NFL combine) then others hand time it, which almost always results in a .1 to .2 time difference.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Speed is on the way. Some if it is already here.
Moseley
D. Payne
Jalen
Malone
Bates
Vic
Berry bros
Gaulden
Speed rushing ends like Joe and Weatherd
Derell Scott makes nasty cuts and is hard to handle even if he's not a blazer. He's still fast.

Some other guys who can really run that will help are Foreman, M. Williams and Riyahd. Jones will Atleast help on Special teams. This team will be way faster.

 

[MrBiggles]

I'm sure this has to be wrong! We have NFL talent and SEC speed on defense according to some on VN.

First drafted

 

[VolFanHenry]

Uh, yes it does. Regardless if he was an athlete or not, you don't want your kicker running faster than your linebackers and safeties. That speaks volumes about the speed deficiency on our team.

Unless your kicker is former soccer player and quite the athlete.

 

[dyllisvol42]

Jacques smith looms like Tarzan plays like jane. Boy just needs to give up football get into body building I'd say he could be pretty good at that a little tall though.

Yea I never really take 40's that seriously, at least not compared to most others. It's more telling of a player to see what kind of break-away speed they have in actual games.
