Quote:Fred was running sideways (corner to corner) whereas Jimmy was running straight (center to center)... it appeared that Jimmy was MUCH faster than Fred on that play, but Fred covered more yards so it's tough to compare.

 

But the point still stands, Jimmy was very fast.  Just don't like that example because one was running diagonally across the field (somewhat) while Jimmy was just running straight ahead, which allowed him to catch up to Fred.

 

True but it wasn't that much of a difference. Maybe it isn't the best example, but Freddy was practically running down the hash marks when Jimmy came out of nowhere.

 

Fredy hits the 50 when he turns at an angle. He goes 20 yards and only moved a couple yards from the sideline to the numbers. My point here is that Jimmy was the only person on that field that could catch Fred, and it wouldn't have been difficult.
