    the time is slow, but no slower than the other backs in this draft, the bench number was fantastic though for a back

    hehe, Im not that bad, but I do like speed and I believe in the concept of team speed, so I will always seek faster players in that game, specifically DEs with speed in the 80s, LBs with speed in the high 80s to lower 90s and Safeties with speed in the mid 90s and up, bring me those players and Ill build a defense that takes away 5 balls a game, unless you are playing FS, then it will by more like 8

    well, at least you have finally begun to accept some slower players, for once are WR only have 90 speed, and no tackles more than you do

    Clarrets 40 time at 4.6 is not bad at all.
    Like you said beef most rbs in the nfl are
    around that speed on the watch.

    I know from playing ball from hs to semis
    in my days when coaches took 40' speeds
    some guys ran alot faster without the pads
    then when it came time to wear the pads
    the guys who actually ran slower 40's were
    actually faster with the pads on.

    Those little stats you posted beef werent
    a bad day for a man who isnt suppose to
    have a good vertical or a decent 40.

    Remember they said kevin jones from v tech
    was supposivly suppose to run 40's in 4.4's.
    His little private workout he ran 4.6 and 47.

    Not bad for clarrett, however i think nfl coaches
    and scouts will stand there ground on the kid
    and discriminate him for what he did, also his
    injurys at ohio st will haunt him as to wear he
    is taken in the rds.

    All in all not a bad personal showing to the scouts.
