Even just something as simple as reacting to a visual cue instead of audio, like track, is something they don’t really scientifically test for either. Seems like for defense especially that’s more important.
I legitimately think a lot of guys just purely run faster in games against competition than they do in tights on a track. It’s like they have a couple of gears they just can’t tap into for no reason.
I’ll take a Jerry Rice Type who can’t run a decent 40 but pulls away from track stars on the field any day. Jerry ran a 4.71 but looked way faster on the field, he’s no Randy Moss but still plenty fast.
We need to feed Alex Cloyd the ball. Kids a beast and can be a mismatch all over the place. Trips out wide, throw to Cloyd, Toivonen and Wanzek blocking in front of him. Which DB is gonna wanna tackle him out there?
We got blown off the line on both sides. That is not a recipe for wins. Johnson just isn’t big enough yet, I saw him get buried repeatedly. Great motor and twitch but just needs to get bigger. OL needs to gain 15 lbs across the board. We need 2 NGs that are a legit 300 to actually plug two gaps. We'll never sniff NDSU if we stay weak and small in the trenches. Nothing else matter until we fix that.
