Re: Clarett runs a 4.82 40
Beasts in the NFL? Suggs got supplanted by William Green again and again last season. He doesn't even start on a consistent basis. And we don't know what the hell Taylor Jacobs is.

Re: Clarett runs a 4.82 40
jdlea, you're thinking of Lee Suggs. Daseal was talking about Terrell Suggs

Re: Clarett runs a 4.82 40
You got to hand it to Daseal, come hell or high water he'll fight to the death to defend Clarett and Spurrier. True love Daseal style!

Re: Clarett runs a 4.82 40
I agree 40 times are pretty worthless, but, there's no denying this is going to hurt his draft day stock.
For a player that has his share of concerns in most teams eyes, this was the last thing he needed. |

Re: Clarett runs a 4.82 40
Emmitt, Trung, Jacobs etc. might have had bad 40 times but how many sat out the rest of the combine drills frustrated by their poor 40 times like Clarett did on Saturday?

and what's up with elton brown of uva pulling out of the combine? I've honestly never heard of o-lineman having personal workouts for scouts but i guess that's what he's planning. |

So Clarrett got upset for running a bad 40. Wouldn't you, if it cost you millions? The players that decided to skip the combine are turning out to be smart, not selfish or stupid. Don't read to much into a GM or an NFL source getting upset because a player did not jump through all the hoops. |

No matter how trivial the combine may be to some, it does adjust some players rankings for better or for worse and I'm sure some coaches may even look more at what a player does after a bad time or a mental mistake than the actual numbers themselves. actual atheletic talent can only take players so far (ie Darryl Russel, Dimetrius Underwood, Alonzo Spellman) and knowing a player has his head on straight is just as important as his physical abilities. |

Re: Clarett runs a 4.82 40
Yeah - Terrell Suggs was a top 5 pick that slipped to the Ravens around 13-17ish area because of a defensive end's 40 time (granted everyone who was eyeing him wanted to move him to LB.)
How do combine 40 times work? Is it best of three? Or something similar? I'm curious from a cap standpoint how much we could shave by waiving betts and going into the season with either late round or UDFA pick up of Clarett? |
