in the dallas game which one of them cowgirls caught him from behind...
and HOW??? i think it was #27 courtney brown, some ss.
anyway, i was shocked when it happened plus he said this in the team luncheon
(on if he worries about being caught from behind on kick returns) “You never worry about anybody sneaking up on you when you have this burning speed (laughs). No, you are running scared; you are running for your life.”

Actually, I thought AD wasn't running as fast as we have seen before. IMO, JJ looked faster on his run. Might just be a perception thing though.

JJ is probably faster.

everytime he touched the ball i thought he looked relatively slow out there, compared to what we've seen in the past.

I would believe Mathis may be a bit faster than AD.

maybe. both are VERY similar, long striders, "looks" slow accelerating INITUALLY
then has them extra gears. AD is the hokies all time 100m and 200m outdoor
leader with a time of 10.24 and 20.78. side note, JJ had 10.28
Me savy that jerome mathis was the fastest guy at the combine his year
with off top of head est 4.28, but i believe that neither will or SHOULD get ran
down barring injury. forgive me for being shocked :eek:
ad 40=4.42

There we go, AD is slower to get up there, but he can burn everyone on the field once up to speed.

JJ and AD are both 4.3 or 4.4 guys...but AD seemed a step slow last week.

Yup, looked that way to me. Maybe he has some sort of pull or something that slowed him down, because JJ just looked a lot faster.

Maybe AD was just biding his time looking for holes that did'nt appear???
