He may even be faster now than when he arrived.

You've already proven that you can't tell the difference between a 4.6 & 4.35 or 4.37, and to make it worse, you lied about it.

Keiland gets way too much hype on here for one run against VTech where he simply jumped over a guy who was already on the ground.

I think hes fast in pads

yes running a likely hand-timed 40 on a high-tech rubber track is great weight against what i was saying

the rubber track at OSU adds 0.2-0.25 to a 40. this is supposedly a faster track than that

why the frick does everyone forget about 2006?

what he did as a true freshman is why he got hype

then he fricks VT in the arse early the next year...of course he'll get hype. his 2nd TD run was pretty beastmode also

---

bc a lot of backs can have a couple of decent runs against that shitey ND defense. What he did as a frosh to me isn't any different than what he's done since. He's a solid back, but nothing special. Yeah, he can run fast in a straight line, but there are much more important things than that in an RB.

OK, he had two runs against VT that looked great on highlights, but really weren't amazing if you look at them by themselves replayed.

I know you love Keiland man. We just disagree, I don't think he's anything great.

pre-keiland we had problems running the ball against good teams (see: Auburn)

when keiland ran, we became the best or 2nd best team in the country

---

SFP, more crappy defenses there, besides Arky. All Keiland proved then and since is that he can run through massive holes at the LOS. Nothing like taking over games like Scott did at Auburn last year. Heck, the guy has never broken a lot of tackles, period. Keiland would have done nothing in that Auburn game, by the way.

quote:

---

none of our other backs on the 2007 teams until now could have scored on either of those TD runs

let's also not forget his TD against AU in 2007 that changed our outlook in that game

---

That TD against AU in '07, again, nothing but running in a straight line.

Maybe, maybe not. I agree that Chuck Scott probably wouldn't have thought of jumping over the pile. Don't remember the other TD, but I'll take your word for it. Either way, doesn't change my opinion that he's not a great back.

quote:

---

when he's been given a chance, he produces

i'll never understand why he wasn't given a real shot after 2007. it's mindblowing

---

How can you possibly not see that the guy shies away from contact and runs way too much to the sidelines? It just shakes my head that a guy his size runs so soft. Some of those runs against South Carolina and other games were just head-scratchers.

Charles Scott is a much more aggressive runner, and that's why he gets the carries. He runs with an attitude and gets the most out of carries. Heck, he probably makes more guys miss than Keiland as well.

quote:

---

under jimbo he was great at bouncing it outside for big gains. our current staff doesn't want this though

they want you to run at the line and move forward at all costs on inside running plays

---

Dude, you're just making shite up now. Scott went through the line and then bounced it outside on that 30 yard or so run in the 2nd half against Auburn last year.

quote:

---

he's made a lot of tacklers miss, which is the same thing

---

Like when? His agility is severely lacking for a finesse runner. That's part of his problem.

quote:

---

following blockers and setting up 2 defenders is not "running in a straight line"

---

Still, not overly impressive. Not something that about 50 RBs in the country couldn't do. Give Crowton his props for using Keiland at his best qualities there, a space/screen back.

quote:

---

you mean the game where he had 72 yards on 15 carries?

---

lol, I guess. I still thought he ran pillow soft at a couple of carries there. Nothing impressive like what we saw from Scott against Auburn. Or heck, what Scott did against Kentucky the year before. I think you are underrating Chuck the Truck SFP, just bc you seem to prefer Keiland's style. Scott can do some impressive big play things as well.

BTW, the track Keiland Williams was timed on at the 2005 Hargrave Prep School Combine was a rubberized track & the times were Hand timed, not Laser timed.

---

i've seen keiland burn college defenders as a true freshman

he also ran sub 11, 100m dashes in high school. as stated earlier, he ran many in the 10.5 range

storm ran an 11.8

quote:

---

That was 4 years ago. Besides you playing the 1 VT run, over & over KW's career so far has not been stellar.

---

he was stellar in 2006

and not only the VT run, but the screen against AU

and it was 1 year ago, and had he not put on weight he'd have 2 long TD runs against USC (they were long, but not TDs) in 2008

quote:

---

Storm's time is Laser timed, don't think Keiland's was. If it was it would be very easy to find.

almost a full second faster than storm
