Just imagine if he and the X-man go to the Olympics and win 100M and 200M respectively. Fastest men in the world would both be Tigers.
More of Holliday is better as long as he isn't risked to brutal injury for needless or grinding plays. By no means do I think he's not tough enough, just the law of averages (roll the dice) and physics (when two bodies of unequal mass collide). I have a feeling the word is out on Holliday for other teams. This isn't a bad thing because that just means they are gonna put their fastest defender opposite him which means the only thing we have to worry about is whether their 2nd fastest defender is even close to ours 2nd fastest back. Work smarter not harder... Me likey.
I think Holliday will be alright and mostly injury free IMO. He runs so fast and when someone hits him he usually just bounces off of them. Watch some of the replays it is pretty comical actually. Most serious football injuries occur when a player holds the runner up and then another player smacks them in the legs, etc... There is no way he is just going to be held up and take another hit. He is one and dome most of the time.
mebbe, but I'd recommend you omit Bob Hayes and Willie gault from that list, ..... unless you want to get laffed at. Don't include Roy Green's name either :wink: Don't get me wrong, TH is an immense talent, but track & field speed aren't the same as football speeed, and there are few great track athletes that make the transition and enjoy the same level of success. Bob Hayes was the man that hall of fame corners wake up in a cold sweat about .....
I don't think you understand. The idea that Holliday is the fastest player in the history of college football isn't an opinion, it's a fact. The only objective way we have for measuring speed is with the stop watch. Holliday's best time is 10.02 FAT, and no one who's ever run faster than 10.02 has ever stepped on a college football field and that includes Hayes and Gault. How do you measure speed and who is Roy Green?
He looks pretty football fast to me. [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TKV2Q7HySc[/MEDIA] [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psWYfO7rp9A[/MEDIA]
no doubting that at all, but comparing him to hayes simply reflects an ignorance about who he was. Hayes was making NFL corners look like statues before some the folks on this board were even born. Some of the young pups might start believing that TH is already a hall of famer, ..... an' we can't have that now, can we? "no, I will not pull your finger." .... sorry, meant to write Darryl Green, although Roy Green was also a burner for the Cards.
OK, but he said FASTEST football player of all time, not BEST. Deion Sanders was probably the FASTEST player in baseball in the 90's, but absolutely no one will argue he was one of the BEST.
