U can put me on that list too. And we would be justified if you watch his jr. highlights. Farking beast. If he can get back the confidence in his knee the kid will be a quicker, faster version of Hardesty.

Very valid point, but it's best to not feed the troll. Just put him on your ignore list like I did months ago and move along. You'll feel better instantly!

I don't understand why people are so quick to write off Marlin Lane. He was a freshman last year coming off a knee injury in high school. I expect him to be full speed this year along with a year of experience. I think he rushes for 1000 and 10 TD's this fall.

I think that's plausible

I know the 40 time shows explosiveness.
I would like to see a 60 meter cut back drill time become a 2nd measurement for grading a RB skill set. 10 meters, cutback, 10, cutback, 10, ect. I think this would really give some idea of talent. Where the 40 times show only straight line acceleration, using both to measure the total skills needed in the RB position would give a better view of the players potential. It also serves to strengthen the tendons and ligaments in the knee, making knee injuries less common. If it is incorporated into College ball, it will be adopted by high schools Very quickly. Down and Back drills are used, but not timed and that doesn’t provide the motivation (Bragging Rights) that 40 times do. Just a though. Anyone else think that would be a good idea?

The NFL combine does include timed 20y & 60y shuttle runs to go along with the 3 cone drill. Shuttle is also a timed event at some HS events as it's often listed on Rivals.

:yes:

Good Call the Shuttle is an ok measure. I have never seen a HS that runs the Shuttle though. I am not saying there are none. I am sure there are a few in GA and FL. The only HS kids that I have ever seen with the shuttle times noted are ones that went to a BCS School's camp and not even all the Backs that have get the Shuttle times noted. I don’t even think all BSC Schools do the Shuttle in their Combine’s.
I’m getting at that it should be considered just as, if not more important than the 40 time. I like the Shuttle… ok, but the more cut backs you can put in the better. Thus the 6x10y. It would be a direct measure of a players ability to change direction. It would also provide fortification to those knee joints. I had a coach in HS that made us hop the bleachers, I hated those. Jumping every step 2 footed rather than run them. Looking back to never having a knee injury in Football or Soccer, it was worth it. The low impact training crap is no good. You have to trigger growth for the bones and connective tissue to make them stronger. You trigger that growth by agitating them.

All you need to do is a muscle biopsy to check for Fast Twitch Fibers..... Then we'll know all we need to.

I don't understand it either. He was a TR FR coming back from major knee surgery and behind a ****ty OLine..Im guessing Lane will start from day 1. Neal couldn't even beat out Lane last year so I'm guessing there's little chance he does this year.jmo

On the artificial turf, i'd be concerned with ligament tears with guys planting and cutting as fast as they can. I'd hate to see guys start tearing MCLs and ACLS during the combine. Just a concern...

Good call on the Turf injuries. a Valid enough reason for most Schools to anex the turf on playing fields. It would be safe on natural sod turf.

Put a laser tracked GPS on them and release the dogs. The ones that have the best elusiveness win the starting lineup the ones that don't .. Dog Food

40 times mean close to nothing for a lot of positions...shuttle is a much better indication...

It is going to be volinsanity...yes it is indeed!!! I think Marlin will have a big year...(I hope)

We need one guy to step up and be the man at that tailback position. Who it shall be remains to be the six million dollar question. We have 5 or 6 guys who could end up being the man. It could be by committee but I would prefer one go to guy to emerge. Volinsanity indeed!!! Bwaaaaaaaaa haaaaa haaaaa!!!
