4.4 speed to me seems like such a waste to put on the line.
:o

I'm not going to bother putting a "no offense" disclaimer - that's simply one of the most moronic things I've heard on this board in a few weeks.
To be fair, a 40-yard time isn't really a crucial tool even for a defensive end. I'm more concerned with his explosiveness off the ball and his quickness. IF you want to utilize 40 speed, then LB or TE might be better.

But sure, the statement is fairly ignorant, but no need to be rude.

If you want to get technical the real numbers you want to cream your pants over are the broad jump and vertical. 4.4 speed for a DE means you have that burst. Calling me ignorant for that statement :lol: whatever dude.

I think the "moronic" thing to do is to take a discussion with a fellow duck fan and turn into an ass by telling them thier opinion is moronic. I've read enough of your posts to know you would make a fine pop warner coach, no offense.

Pretty sure he was calling JT's statement ignorant. Just saying that you were a little rude.
