Antonio Brown runs the 40 in 4.18

[Daseal]

Coles was clocked at 4.16 coming out of Florida state. Was the 40 hand timed or electronic? 40 times are VERY subjective to what they're running on, and who's doing the clocking.

I don't remember which agent did this back in the 80s, but one of them had access to a track that was ever so slightly "downhill" but unless you put a level on the track you w0ouldn't notice it. So he had his prospects timed on that track and they did very well.

"40 times" need to be recorded under standard conditions if you want to compare them.

I suspect that the Skins' coaches already know that Brown is very fast. So the question now is why he wasn't in the games as a WR since he is so fast.

Possibilities:

1. He can't catch a cold?

2. He can't learn the patterns?

3. He can't/won't block?

4. It wouldn't matter because the OL won't allow the Skins to throw deep very often?

5. The coaching staff is as dumb as a box of wrenches?


My guess is #4 with a little of #1 thrown in...

Remember the coaches liked having just a return guy. When they were using Thrash they kept him out of the game at WR for most of the game. Plus Brown wasn't on the team the whole year was he?? Probably didn't know crap about the offense. Hell the guys who had been there the whole year didn't look like they knew the offense half the time. The last thing the coaches needed was another dolt out on the field.

Leave it to SC to encourage people, uplift them, and make them feel proud to support the Redskins. Why he's our
cheerleader, our mascot, our wonderfully optimistic booster of spirits. He's the anti-Bill O'Reilly, anti-Dennis Miller, anti-Bill Maher, anti-Dennis Leary, anti-cynic....in short, he's SC.
