deuceswild 15 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Running the fastest 40 of anyone over 250 pounds is like being the offensive lineman with the smallest man-boobs. If you ARE an offensive lineman, yes. As a ball carrier, if you can truck DBs at full speed like LT has been doing, two things happen: You get as much extra yardage as he is long. You risk him crushing his shoulder. You risk the defense crushing theirs. Its iffy but its awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't foresee a scenario where Logan Thomas would ever get to top speed, but I've been wrong before. I agree that he might get a few momentum yards. But if the defender is tackling fundamentally, he's going down. It'll just hurt a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he continues trucking DBs at half-speed... etc. etc. etc. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
