ouch, Finley 40 time

[UofTOrange]

I was just checking out the combine, mostly because I'm a sick, sick man, and saw Finley run. 4.85 and it looked slower than that. Bad start, bad form, not what he wanted I'm sure.

 

[Austin10]

Ouch.

 

[Tums]

And a 27 vertical jump.

The Laws of Physics and Gravity are really holding J Mike back. Otherwise, he might have returned.

 

[Austin10]

Bennett running the 40

 

[SyracuseHorn]

Not having a good combine. 4.85 and 27" vertical wouldn't get a guy recruited to UT, much less turn heads in the NFL.

 

[Horns83]

tellus ran a faster forty and had a better vert. I guess JMike didn't get the memo that the combine was today.

 

[Meursault]

Tellus ran a 4.69 and jumped 34.

J Mike looked completely unprepared. Disappointing.

 

[Captain Murphy]

What surprises me is that he decided to go pro. He is not quick-footed. On another thread posters were claiming he was better than David Thomas, but Thomas had quick feet. He could catch a short pass over the middle and put enough of a juke on defenders to get a first down. I don't have any youtube links to back this up, but if you've watched Finley over the past two years you know there were a number of times he caught passes with chances to gain first downs, only to be brought down before the marker. He is not an elusive player.

I hope I am wrong and he goes on to have a wonderful NFL career.

 

[Meursault]

J Mike's second 40 was 4.82.

 

[fhetw]

4.82 on his second run.

 

[Truck's Son]

It's Davis' fault for not getting him the ball more.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Hope he picks it up, though. I'm sure Jmike will be a fantastic TE in the NFL.

 

[alden]

I have to think he just wasn't prepared. What a shame,

 

[naijahorn]

He looked the best on the pass-catching drills.

He really just looked unprepared for the 40

 

[Austin Orange]

Where are you getting the results from?

 

[Handler XIII]

karma's a *****

 

[Horns11]

I'd quote my posts on the previous Tellus vs. JMike thread, but this pretty much sums it up. Anyone thinking that Finley was faster is nuts.

 

[bularry]

another dagger in the "texas has great talent" myth.

I'm surprised by the vert being only 27"

Handler, exactly what I was thinking. You reap what you sow.

Sorry, but I don't feel bad for him. I don't take kindly to people throwing the University under a bus.

 

[ngnichols]

Man, that is a pretty poor showing. He should have stayed for sure after posting up #'s like that.

 

[todd24horn]

it says on NFL Network that they don't run until 3pm? How can I view the results of what the NFL and what the 40 times are.

 

[Duff_Man]

Puke Puke Vomit!

 

[Soul Glo]

6th or 7th round, maybe. cut in training camp

 

[anotherwebexpert]

Impossible. Didn't he read the other thread where people on here where positive that he was in the 4.6's and might go 4.5 while Tellus would be lucky to go 4.7?

Then again I believe some of those posters are the ones convinced AJ will be playing in the NBA in a few years so there could be some burnt orange bias.

 

[AustinTejasFan]

Maybe he should have spent more time working out and less mouthing off.

he was fast enough to run away from ou's linebackers and safeties last october.

 

[Tailgate]

Tums, that sig pic is awesome.

 

[Les Claypool]

I wonder how his prep has been. I cannot think he is that slow. After watching the high school all-star game he played in, I was suprised he was not a receiver. He played receiver the whole game and looked great. I was suprise he redshirted and played TE.

 

[Coelacanth]

I got ripped before the OU game when I claimed Finley wasn't very fast...3 pages of posters telling me what an idiot I was.
