Fleming now getting first team reps

[Ronco]

Have you ever slapped any of your kids for spilling their milk?

No, but I'll burn 'em with my cigaratte.

Fleming is a playmaker.

But is he a "game changer"?

 

[David79]

I don't know if he is a game changer but he is a game breaker

Well played, Mauer...

No but they have gotten in trouble for being careless over and over at the counter or dinner table. Why do you ask....?

 

[cmhawks99]

maybe kids realized they don't have to be respectful of elders if their elders are idiots.

That’s funny per se, but surely you get it doesn't work like that right?! So if we decide said parent is an idiot (read all parents to an adolescent) THEN it’s ok...that’s what has gotten this country so far of track now.

Yeah, you are right this country has gotten off track because younger generations don't respect their elders.... Wait no that can't be, the elders run this f'ing country. Good try though.

Yep, derailed.

Oddly enuff I don’t think we agree all that much (I may be wrong) but that is something that has always gave me a chuckle as well. How we call one guy fast and one guy slow when their forty’s don’t match up with that. However it’s worth saying, forty times I have found aren’t all that indicative of football speed. And furthermore that seems to come and go at times. Especially to us fans…..

Marcus Coker was fast in the insight bowl but slow last yea?!?!. Shonn Greene ran a 4.64 at the combine (4.55ish at his Pro day) but he looked really fast.

Just goes to show how hard it really is to scout talent.

To the guy above talking about Hgt…Flemming is listed at 6’1â€

Also it is good that the coaches think he can play, but I propose that it would be best if we already had seasoned talent but alas it seems we do not.

How I take 40 times is that if some one runs a fast one, you know they are capable of being fast but if some one does not run a fast one it doesn't mean they aren't fast.

In timed short distance runs allot can depend on the start.

As my dad used to say, and being a parent now for 17 years I tend to believe him, "The kids haven't changed, the adults have."

Kids are kids and they always will be. They mouth off, misbehave, do things that aren't in their best interest, experiment with stuff they shouldn't, take the path of least resistence, etc. The difference nowadays is that the adults have changed to the point that they don't give a $hit what their kids do.

I laugh at those that blame kids for the way they are now.....who the f do you think raised them?

Now that this thread has officially derailed, let me try and get it back on track....

I don't care that Reese's 40 time is 4.65 or whatever it is. McNutt wasn't fast, DJK wasn't fast, Mo Brown wasn't fast, etc. We need guys that can catch the ball and make plays after the catch. Reese, given his background with the ball, seems to be that type of player.

People are putting too much on 40 times in determining how much football speed a player has.

10 yard split times measures quickness and accelration. I'd love to see accurate numbers there.

Big play guys in the Fry/Ferentz era like Harmon, Dwight, T. Banks & Russell all had one thing in common, the ability to get to full speed quickly.

Very true...probably a good way to look at it.

That is true and it’s a point I've said before myself and kind of forget at times. It is the parents to a big degree.

Back on track....I do think Mo Brown was pretty darn fast, to bad the light didn't go on for him sooner. But the thrust of your point is accurate.
