Combine 2026

oh boy

imagine the direction and duration the threads go then

 

Sure thing!!


Larry Fitzgerald.

Andre Johnson.

Sammy Watkins.

A.J. Green.

Amari Cooper.




All of these Wideouts ran in the 4.4s sans A.J. Gren. None of them ran in the 4.3s at the Combine. Speed helps but is a very poor metric to determine how good a Wideout will be; Top 5 doubly so.



So again, 40 Yard Dash Times for Wideouts are comically overrated. See Xaiver Worthy for further information.

 

The interviews don't worry me nearly as much as his inability to separate consistently at the LOS. Why that is being largely ignored is something I'd like to know. People keep comparing him to St. Brown and I simply don't see how or why.


Brown was stronger and more adept at separating at the LOS. Lemon isn't. Makai Lemon is more Jahan Dotson than he is St. Brown. Seriously though, compare some of Dotson's tape at Penn State vs Lemon's tape at USC. The similarities are very much there.

 

Fair enough, but my point is if Chase ran a 4.6 he wouldn't have been drafted in the top 5.

 

Good to see people calling Schefter out for doing spin control for Tate's agent.

 

Thats what happens when you D sucks. But hey the Offense broke some of the team records. Shows Defense is very important.
Another example of how 2 guys can't win in football with a terrible team.

 

Tate didn't run a 4.3 and will be just fine. Chase could have even run a 4.6 and would have been fine. Anquan Boldin was pretty damn good despite having a less than stellar 40 time.


Again, 40 Yard Dash Times are overrated sans two exceptions; players that need to prove they can play faster than their speed on tape or Cornerbacks. That is pretty much the list.

 

I don't think it will hurt Tate that much he will likely still be WR1, we agree to disagree on the other points.
