    why even waste 7 weeks putting on weight to begin with? If an NFL team wants him to bulk up then they can tell him after he has A CONTRACT with the team...

    The most important thing for a RB in the underwear Olympics is the agility and speed tests. The fact that Ahmed apparently dropped body fat AND added total weight while running such a poor 40 time shows their strategy is completely fucked. His only draft capital was his speed/agility... it needed to be absolutely maxed out and showcased, not compromised for worthless muscle bulk.
    That's what I'm saying. Idiots. Now Salvon will be trying to drop weight to run a faster time at the UW pro day.

    40 times are such an overrated stat. Salvon wasnt ever that fast to begin with in the open field. He gets to top gear quick tho

    If he was timing like this before officially running, he never should have participated.

    Should have weighed in and done interviews and benched at a heavier weight, and postponed running until pro day citing an ankle injury (further explanation as to why he dropped weight by pro day)

    Terrible look, this guy will never be a bruiser so a 4.62-4.67 times may push him into udfa territory, yikes

    Stop acting like speed and agility are the same thing. You fucks bitched for 3 years about how he could never hit the hole and are now surprised he's not agile? GTFO.

    He will run in the 4.4’s at his pro day. It still hurts him. It’s a horrible time for a guy that was hyped as being so fast.

    He also would run in the 4.4’s at the Husky Combine and was always the fastest or 2nd fastest.

    Uhhh, he ran a 4.32 at the Husky Combine a year or 2 ago. I would consider that to be pretty damn fast...

    Dude ran one of the fastest 40’s in the country coming out of high school what are you talking about
    Hand timed?

    4.32 laser timed at The Opening. https://www.oregonlive.com/recruiting/2016/07/salvon_ahmed_oregon_ducks_targ.html

    He's run between 4.3-4.4 at the Husky Combines he's done. Whatever he did this offseason has been a disaster

    maybe the starting line at the combine was 2 offensive linemen?

    Did he only run once?
  • huskyhooliganhuskyhooligan Member, Swaye's Wigwam Posts: 5,424 Swaye's Wigwam
    Ran twice, got slower. Gaskin, Polk, and Sankey all had faster times. Sankey the fastest.

    Um, that wasn't quite the way it went.

    Nobody ever said he didn't have agility. We? said he couldn't hit the hole because (1) he seems to have no feel or vision for it and (2) even if he does, he's tentative and dances around too much. He couldn't hit the hole because he was a pussy; unless the hole was gaping and obvious, he tended to have a knack for finding tacklers rather than daylight.

    Nothing to do with agility. He's agile af.
