Re: Training camp 2011 thread
I personally think the 40 is an overrated stat. I mean for the most part the game is played in 10-20 yard increments; sideline to sideline. I think agility, lateral movement, burst off the ball. Those things are just as important, if not moreso, than running the 40 in a straight line.

Also, I've been following this on Twitter for the last hour from Eagles camp. Not good. Reports said the Eagles stop practiced for a bit and everyone was pretty shaken up by this incident.

Okay, so it looks like Patterson had a seizure, but he's okay and joking with teammates.

I'm sure Shanny took that into consideration though.

Re: Training camp 2011 thread
Boy in between MP having a seizure and Maclin possibly having lymphoma, it's not a good day to be at Eagles camp today. I hope Maclin is alright, not sure what would happen with him if he is diagnosed but hopefully he can beat it and come back to keep playing football.
As for Mike Patterson, a 4 minute seizure? I can only imagine the hell that must've been for him and the players around him. My longest has only been about a minute and for that minute you tend to feel paralyzed since you can't control whatever body parts are involved in the seizure. 4 minutes is an amazingly long time to go through that, and to hear that he's up and alert and joking around is a good sign.

A 4.71 average time is slow?
