Is an omnibus kind of like a velocibus?

It's similar to a Polumbus.

Isn't he the same guy as Durham?

by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jul 25, 2011 3:16 PM PDT up reply actions

Not really, Durham is a big, long downfield threat kind of guy.

He’s 6’5 to Maehl’s 6’1. Maehl is more of a Bobby Engram type, a shifty underneath route runner.

Huh?

Not at all…. is this because they’re both white? Jeez.

by nucleard on Jul 25, 2011 3:35 PM PDT up reply actions

and skinny and not particularly fast

by Greetings from the Lord Humongous! on Jul 25, 2011 3:50 PM PDT up reply actions

durham is PARTICULARLY fast, his 4.43 40 would have tied him for 4th at the combine among receivers,

faster than AJ Green, and looks to be able to use the speed to get past defenders if you watch a little film. his 4.09 20 yard shuttle would have tied for 6th, so he is also quick. his 17 reps on bench (tied with J Jones, one shy of AJ Green, three shy of Jon Baldwin). his ability to get deep to the back of the secondary attests to raw numbers that translate well on the field when he is wearing pads. watch some film.

i have not watched tape on maehl. according to the NFL website, he may not have straight line speed (4.62 40y), but he posted the best time EVER in the 3 cone drill, was first among all receivers in the 60 yard shuttle, and was second in the 20 yard shuttle, making him pretty clearly the quickest player in the draft at the WR position. he probably is skinny given the knock against him is his strength and inability to get off the line in press coverage.

so they are both white, but the rest of your opinion seems wholly uninformed. and go figure, Durham can also jump.

I would guess he means quick, not fast

Durham looks like a long strider to me, on tape, not particularly quick.

by Thomas Beekers on Jul 25, 2011 4:22 PM PDT up reply actions

if he meant "not particularly quick", it still shows his opinion is even more uninformed because

both players are very quick, maehl in fact being the quickest WR, maybe even quickest player, in the draft.

he says the reason he asked if durham and maehl are the same player is because they are white, skinny and not fast. if he means not fast in terms of not speedy, then he is wrong, Durham is damn speedy. if he means not fast in terms of not quick, maehl is the quickest player at the combine, and Durham is also top 10 in the 20yd shuttle=quick…not the quickest, that’s maehl, but still pretty damn quick.

as far as your comments on Durham being “not particularly quick”, he certainly is a bit of a long strider on deep routes. but he looked like a nice combo of speed and quickness, with fast small steps on a few of those short passes underneath in space where he had 40-50 YAC. he adjusts routes and changes direction quickly in reaction to poorly thrown or difficultly placed balls. he makes excellent quick open field blocks on dbs. just because he has relatively more straight-line long-striding speed than quickness, doesn’t mean he is “not particularly quick”. then again, i readily admit i don’t know if either his speed or quickness will translate to the NFL.

not trying to be argumentative here, just saying that his public statement about these two players is incorrect, except for his implicit acknowledgment that they are both white.

btw, if anyone is interested in looking at film:

if you want to see him throughout entire games, here is georgia-georgia tech and georgia-auburn from 2010:

The joke is that white people aren't athletic.

by Nate Dogg on Jul 25, 2011 5:27 PM PDT up reply actions

What?

I was just speculating on Durham, not both. Durham isn’t quick.

Take it easy dude.

All I know is that Jeff Maehl is one of those guys

who always seemed to come up with a big catch when his team needed one. This isn’t based on anything rational, I just remember hating him in college (because he always seemed to kill my team), which is exactly the kind of guy I want on the Seahawks.

If he’s not NFL worthy that’s cool.
