Colby Erskin = SPEED !!!

[E.T.]

He's the fastest man on the team and made some incredible catches in 2006 ... would expect to see him in the slot more in 2007.

Go BULLS !!!

What did the Blog say? 4.28? not too fast. I ran that backwards once.

One thing that had me concerned was Mike Ford's 40 time: 4.66. For someone once clocked at 4.37 or so, doesn't seem too fast. I was hoping for Slaton-like speed. Is this something he'll be able to bring down before the spring? or is that price you pay for putting on a little mass?

4.66???

Are you serious?   :link

If that's true, that's pretty crappy.

first off Erskins time is really fast, and Mike Ford is 220 lbs, so he is going to have a slower time due to his weight.

Yeah, but if it's a 4.66, he needs to drop 5-10 and pick up one or two tenths on that time!!

He needs to be able to run away from at least the LB's!!

You should be concerned SeaBull,  afterall Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith ran about the same times.

I'm certainly not saying clocked speed is everything, but getting up there close to 4.7 for a RB is a little iffy.

And spare us with the Emmitt Smith/Jerry Rice stuff.  Very few players can overcome below average speed to play at a level like that.

This is yet ANOTHER example of ridiculously inflated measurables.

Did I tell you guys that in High School, I was 7'8", 475 lbs. and benched 1,250 lbs. while running a 3.2 time in the 40?   :slapmax

I can eat a doughnut about .4 seconds faster than the most of you...  

But you should see me drink a beer!  (like a bullet from a gun.)

Please don't be alarm, Mike is just out of shape right now!!

I happened to play basketball with a couple of football players at the rec some weeks back....Ford was there. Right before we started the game, he said he wanted to guard the fastest player on the court to get back in shape. If what I saw on the court translates onto the football field, he'll be quite fine. His 40 time may be paltry, but boy, can he jump out of the gym.

I'm sure he will be back in form soon.

I am also not worried, heard he was clocked slower on a very slow field a while back.

He's getting n2 shape ...

Expecting some great sights this Spring Game !

Go BULLS !!!
