Good. Now people that haven't seen him play will stop putting them in their mocks.Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.Comment

Re: Myron Rolle runs 2nd slowest 40
Are you being difficult today, Dub? Why do they do the combine anyways? Does it mean anything at all to you? I think game film is more important than the combine, BUT, the combine can tell us important information that game film may not. Information from the combine should not be ignored but should be used in a proper context.Originally posted by Dee DubOh great! That must mean he is dumb????sigpicComment

Re: Myron Rolle runs 2nd slowest 40
i expected him to come out and be a little rusty and not in tip top shape. I'm sure he wasn't training as hard as he was while playing and going to FSU. I'm interested in what he can do at his pro day.

If I was interested I would follow up and see if he improves at his pro day.Steelers 27

Re: Myron Rolle runs 2nd slowest 40
The 40 time can be misleading.......There is a certain way to run the 40 and you must be perfect to get a good time. A lot of variables goes into it and you can easily look slower than you are if you do not get it right......
I'm more interested in game speed and smarts than I am a guy's 40 time.....
Although, it may say something about his training and preparation..tjhe guy could be lazy.2019 Mock

Re: Myron Rolle runs 2nd slowest 40
I'm still curious to see what he does at his Pro-Day. Surely the time off has hurt more than people thought & he hasn't been able to train the way he'd really need to, but he did have an outstanding Senior Bowl & the rest of his combine results were very good. Regardless, I'd take a late round flyer on him & train him up.It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...Comment

Re: Myron Rolle runs 2nd slowest 40
Leb, I don't know why scouts and coaches go to the combine, but if it were me, I'd only be there to interview players to get a feel for their character, desire to play, mental aspects of the game, etc. Running and jumping in shorts doesn't tell you much, football determination can be made from film. The decathlon they put them through is for TV and the talking heads and that's about it, IMHO.Originally posted by LebsteelAre you being difficult today, Dub? Why do they do the combine anyways?

I just thought it was funny to suggest he may be lazy because he went to Oxford for a year and came back with a slow 40 time.Steelers 27

Re: Myron Rolle runs 2nd slowest 40
Personally, I rejoice when players I like run poor 40 times at the combine. That means I can get a good football player at a good value (perhaps Myron could be had with a comp pick at the end of the 5th round). If he ran a great 40 time, then some other team would be seduced by that number and would draft him too early (like, say, the third round).
Being able to run 40 yards fast out of a sprinter's stance in shorts does not mean that you would be better able to turn your hips and shadow a guy downfield while wearing full pads in an actual game situation and make a play on the ball. To me, a 40 time is one of the lowest-priority criteria that could be used to evaluate a prospect (but then again, I am not Al Davis).Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment
