I think more important than 40 yd dash time is their time to full speed. Adrian Peterson takes negative time to reach full speed.

I agree that's why I think the 10 yard dash time is a hell lot more important the the 40 yard dash time. But the 10 and 20 yard dash times are one of the least hyped stats in the combine numbers and the 40 is one of the most hyped.

Guys run 10 yard dashes a lot more than they run 40 in the NFL mainly because you have to run 10 before you can run 40... and how often do guys run 40 yards? other than maybe WR/CB/S...

The 10 yard time is about quickness... which quickness plus physicness plus football smarts usually equals good football player... maybe not great but good...

They do a ten yard dash at the combine? I guess it's underhyped because I never even heard about it. If they run a ten yard dash, they shouldn't even bother with a 40. Do scouts really put more stock in the 40, or are the writers just being lazy by not mentioning the 10 yard dash?

There isn't a 10 yard dash drill... but when the players run the 40 yard dash drill they takes the times at the 10, the 20 and the 40 yard lines...

I can't tell you want scouts do and don't take it... but I can tell you that the big names guys like GMs and others high scout people seem to act like the combine is more like a social club meeting a lot more than a scouting thing... (maybe because they watch tape of the combine later and everyone else is doing work there?)

And there are tons of scouts packed into the end of the 40 yards... and almost every where else they seemed spread out. A few at the 10 and 20 but not too many...

I think the 10 yard time would be better than the 20 or 40 yard time how they would do in the NFL but I've never had the time or want to do a study that big for that long another players that end up all over the NFL...

and during some of the other drills I don't think the guy that did it the fastest turns out the best but the guy who did it fast/quick and was able to keep their body in control during it... again I don't have the time or want to test a theory that big and that long...

Greg- They don't have a timed 10 yd dash. He was just saying that in sports, a 10 yard dash (if there were one) would be more functional because there are many more times that a guy will hit a 10 yard run than a 40 yard run.

When they run the 40 yard dash they time players at the 10, 20 and 40 yard lines. It's a lot harder to find the results of the 10 and 20 yard times but some do take them down and make them public...

I'm not to much,It's hard not to be excited thoe that he played well.
He still needs a lot work with stuff and we haven't seen him block much.
And we need to see how durable he will become the rest of the year.
I would say im more excited than drolling. :)

I agree with Finley. gbguy20, you can't tell us that you weren't happy with how the kid played, especially considering it was his first game in 2 years. He had better numbers than any rookie RB in 62 years. That's exciting stuff.

beast (9h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.
beast (9h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.
Mucky Tundra (9h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
