Duke's Speed....

[Duval904]

i'd say around a 4.55. don't see how he ran a 4.39 in summer workouts.


thoughts?

 

[Hegemon]

Put down your crackpipe.

4.5 is legit to me to be honest. Doubt that he runs a 4.4

 

[LuCane]

Duvie,

What do you think he'll run at the combine?

 

[gcane44]

don't get his 40 yard time confused just because he may not run the fastest 70.

troll.

 

[JHallCanes]

They time these guys in shorts right?

Those pads are heavy mane, specially when your pants aren't pulled up high enough.

Your assumption is Price can't run.

 

[rok]

I think he runs a good 40. His acceleration is top notch. It's after 40 yards where he tops out and gets caught up to.

 

[zone3cane]

4.45 forty

Duvie,

4.46 or somewhere around there

i dont doubt that he will train his *** off to ace that dash at the 'Bine

Price plays major D-1 football, of course he can run...but i wasn't even thinking about him, i'm talking about body or work and the eye test

He needs them above the knee and he'll stop getting caught.

Sounds about right to me. That's a pretty good time. For reference, Devin Hester ran a 4.45 at the 2006 scouting combine.

 

[zone3cane]

He just slows down after about 50 yards

 

[JHallCanes]

When was the last time a running back other than Duke busted a big one out in the open so his speed could truly be judged?

Crazy how often Duke breaks out.

 

[The Franchise]

He doesn't have elite long speed, but his short area speed is elite.

 

[JefeGringo]

When its 3rd and 40, we wont hand the ball off to him then.

 

[jump1cane]

I'm not an apologist even though I am about to sound like one, but he was running on a wet field. As was the guy that walked him down, but who's to say that he wasn't getting too good of a traction because he wasn't wearing short cleats and was wearing long ones for cutting not helpful for straight ahead speed and/or he's lost some speed because of injuries.

Duke is not a 4.5 guy when everything is right. 4.4 sounds about right.

 

[JHallCanes]

OK here's your answer. Longest run by a running back OTHER than Duke the last two years?



















Gus Edwards. 29 yards.

Duke was hawked down by a fellow Floridian (Price). No shame in that.
