re: Ole Miss QB John Rhys Plumlee quote about LSU Defense

quote:

Plumlee is easily a 4.4 guy. He’s incredibly fast. Just watch the tape.

Not saying he isn’t fast. Maybe he is 4.4, but there is not verified time on that, not even close. There are hand clocked times in the low 4,4s and I’ve seen “just under 4.4” in some write ups but no electronically captured times.

The kid is fast, but he is smack talking in the worst possible way, IMO. A dual threat QB saying he is faster than another teams O linemen? Well, yeah. If he isn’t he’s not that much of a dual threat. Saying he is faster than out LBs, probably should be but his electronic time isn’t spectacular, it’s actually about the same as Chaisson’s which was 4.6. He’s not as fast as Stingley or Vincent who bot have sub 4.4s, there is no ’maybe as fast as our DBs”.

Ultimately, for LSU, it’s a matter of not taking his speed lightly And not letting him get passed you but if he gets a step ahead of Stingley or Vincent with 60 yards to get to the end zone, I don’t think he’s scoring. He probably gets close but I think they run him down.
