What happened to the TIGERS last night?(at the Bteam game) with good officials.

Actually, I was in HS with those group of guys at Rockwood (they are a few years younger). Not one of them were under 4.4.They were very VERY fast for high school, but none were sub 4.4.

 

What we believe and the truth is often very different. A speed of a 4.30 forty is actually considered WORLD CLASS speed. Of all running backs and wide receivers at the NFL combines last season, how many actually ran under a 4.4? Only 4. There were also 8 DB than ran sub 4.4s. We are talking NFL quality players.

 

The dictionary says this about 40 yard dash speed:

Generally, any time under 4.4 seconds is considered exceptionally fast even at the NFL level. Times between 4.4 and 4.6 seconds are good for the NFL. Times above 5 seconds are typically run only by linemen, the slowest time recorded at the 2006 combine was 5.41 seconds by an offensive lineman.

 

Now 4.4 to 4.6 is considered GOOD speed for NFL players & only 12 of over 100 players who went through the NFL combines last season ran under 4.4 (which is considered EXCELLENT SPEED). How many HS teams have NFL speed?

 

Lets bring this to a more local level...Jermaine Copeland is probably the best athlete to ever come through Roane County. He was dominate in terms of speed and athleticism. What was the major critique of Cope when he tried to make it in the NFL? Lack of speed. Now when he ran straight past me over and over back in the day, it seemed like he was running a 4.2 or so, but he was really clocked in the 4.5 range (give or take a bit). Cope could probably run circles around 99% of the players in Roane County.

 

Contrary to what we think, believe, or have heard, these are the facts about NFL players. So based on fact, do you still honestly believe a high school in Roane County has multiple players with 4.40 or better speed?

 

Everyone knew Jermaine wasn't that fast since he was in pee wees. I mean he couldn't come within 5 yards of Mark Boyd, so if you are judging speed because of his athletic ability then you're way off. It doesn't take a whole lot of speed in high school to score. Jermaine had the ability to make people miss and the others were slower than him so it didn't matter anyway. Their have been a lot of great people that came through Roane County and I don't think you measure it by who went where and ended up where. I was actually stationed in Wichita Falls, Texas when Jermaine came to the Cowboy camp. Speed had nothing to do with him getting cut from that roster. It was a broken collarbone that kept him off as I witnessed him make a diving catch. The front of the Dallas paper said "Should have been Cowboys" the next day with a picture of Cope and Wood Dantzler.

 

I may be a little off with Harrimans speed, but I guarantee you they have 3 guys that run at least a 4.4!

[MSUBac2001]

You are probably right with a few guys in the 4.4 to 4.5 range. My comment was meant mainly toward many guys on a HS team under 4.40. There is just such a huge difference b/t 4.30 and 4.40, you really don't see many guys with under 4.40 speed, especially multiple guys on a small town team in east TN. If a guy runs 4.49 and someone else runs 4.40, the latter will run straight past the 1st guy.

 

 

Either way, 4.40 to 4.5 is pretty dang fast for any team in Roane County. Sounds like Rockwood & Harriman had a good game this past week. I miss living close enough to see those games.

ice, your an idiot! No one in Roane County runs a 4.4! The fastest kid in the county is probably the QB from Midway. Harriman would be luck if they had two or three players that ran in the high 4's.

It really doesnt matter if they can run a 4.4 or a 4.3 if they dont have any blocking up front or if the quarterback doesnt have time to throw it to them what good is the speed?

[XtremeLoco]

I can type a 3.6...so beat that. HAHAH

u must be from red neck island, oh my bad midway, to think that the qb from midway is the fastest in the county. those bums shouldn't even be considered a county team.

[goosevol]

Lyle or Chatman is probably the fastest in the county. They proabably run in the 4.5-4.6 range.
