"Speed has very little to do with how fast your are running". That statement honestly makes no sense whatsoever and is quite funny to read.

"Most of that information can't be measured". What? That's exactly what they will be doing. They will be measuring the speed of the players throughout the entire play. What is this mystical immeasurable stuff you seem to think exists?

Bottom line is they can measure how fast you are during every point in the game, and you're kidding yourself if you don't think that's useful. They'll compare WR's initial acceleration, how fast they can cut in and out, and that "second gear" on long runs. They can also compare it to cornerback's stats, which could affect what the offense/defense try to do to get favorable match-ups.

Respectfully, it makes incredible sense if you understand even the basic nuances of the base parts of the game.

People use the phrase "game-speed" or "he really turns it on when the lights come on" the same way they use "heart" or "passion."

The term is birthed out of the fact that you seldom ever run 40 yards in a straight line. But what seperates playes-both literally and metaphorically on the field isnt some feel good term about their dedication. It's the mental aspect of the game superceding the physical.

Mechanics out of a break, intellectual understanding of what the offense is doing before the offensive player does it.

Speed has very little to do with how fast you're running.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
