Think about this: Instead of using Linebacker type-DEs...
.... we could use sprinters!
Imagine... as soon as the ball is in movement, an Olympic caliber sprinter would be in the backfield disrupting the play.... Offensive linemen would be too slow to prevent a pass rush from an Olympic caliber sprinter. I'm sure football has used DBs as down linemen in pass rushing situations before but the sheer speed of an Olympic caliber sprinter would create a unique dynamic in american football........
So what are your thoughts about this idea?
this is so stupid
first off... realize i don't need to stop you.. i need to delay you.. i know the play.. i know the snapcount. i know what direction we are going in. it's not track where we are equal in every aspect except personal attributes. lets not even get into a sprinters stamina to play 3-10-15 downs a drive..
i'll give you 8 on the squad to do what you will.. play 1, play 4, sub in and out.. all world class.. top 8 in the world
my big lineman only have to put hands on you.. if they can put hands on dbs running 4.6 when they step on the line.. they can get you running a 3.8.. that's not even a second of speed gained
then we are starting off the ground and it's about .5 seconds between hiking and us touching.. being a sprinter is not gonna make you that damn fast to avoid a 315 lineman pushing your ass with all his strength.. your men are too little for any bull rush, swim tackle, spin move, leap, anything.. soon as the big boys touch you, you flying off. your only move is a quick avoidance and flat sprint
but where you sprinting too? is the run even going to your side? you got both ends, ok i'm running up the middle all day.. you got 4.. i'm smashing you up the middle all day.. you fukk all that, simply pass all day
don't forget i can still go for knees, lay my big ass on you after the play, illegally hold, nfl fukkery tricks.. you small as shyt, giving up 70-100 pounds
how much weed you been smoking?
