Still laughing at the idea of ground settling so that you get a net downhill gradient over 40 yards. That would be one big hole in the ground.

Why are you being a jerk?

Shteve

Because of the opinion's source

It's hard not to take this personally. Mods!

That's being a jerk?

Because a lot of people think truecoug is actually a Utah fan.

Scouts adjust for hand times.

BengalCougar

3/24/17 11:03am

I'm pretty sure scouts have never done this before, and teams pull the wool over their eyes at every opportunity

StantonMac

3/24/17 11:10am

Maybe it's because they were running down Hill.

Which has what to do with the IPF?

That it use to be the case, at a different venue

Dont most football fields slope 1 foot from the center to the sideline?

Depends on the level (cost investment)

Hand times are generally slower than laser times. The IPF surface is completely flat, no downgrade. Either way the...

BengalCougar

3/24/17 10:56am

haha, the hand times are not slower.

ToasterChive

3/24/17 11:00am

I meant that hand times are generally viewed as being slower than laser times.

BengalCougar

I think the phrase you are looking for is "not as accurate".

Also Langi didn't run at the combine, so no he didn't get faster.

BengalCougar

3/24/17 10:57am

THey are running on turf, just like at the combine. Indoors. So yeah, downhill.

You made the claim. Burden of proof is on you. Otherwise you're trolling.

OneUpper

3/24/17 11:01am

They always run the 40 twice at every schools pro day and at the combine.

BengalCougar

3/24/17 11:02am

FYI--they run the 40 2x at the NFL combine too. So ok.

Turnpike Lane

3/24/17 11:03am

Discussing something on CB obviously makes it true.

StantonMac

3/24/17 11:04am

But thank trueute. We can always count on you.

.06 isnt "thst much faster" .its the difference between better sleep and not,

CarolinaCoug

3/24/17 10:58am

Jamal ran a 4.59 at the combine, right? and here he ran 4.53. That isn't

BW84

3/24/17 10:58am

Why worry? It's the altitude.

CougarThug

3/24/17 11:50am

And please, I would love to see some proof for your claim of running the 40 on a slight down grade.

BengalCougar

3/24/17 10:58am

That is a decade old rumor from when they used to run outside.

byubyu

3/24/17 11:08am

Not a rumor.absoluutely accurate.true the near side lanes

CarolinaCoug

3/24/17 12:35pm

Thats like saying id like to see proof that R jall at DT faced due east.

CarolinaCoug

3/24/17 12:39pm

You're right, other than the downhill, unofficial times are always faster

palangi

I've always wondered why BYU held it's pro day at Rock Canyon Park.

Caboom

3/24/17 11:12am

Scouts don't take pro day 40 times very seriously.

Assuming he could run good routes and catch. Mitch was good at jump balls, but

OneUpper

3/24/17 12:12pm

The ball had to be in front of him. He also did not like physical contact 1 iota

Do they do the vertical on a trampoline?

They had big fans blowing so the times are wind aided....

I'm pretty sure the Vertical measurements are off, too.
