Vince Young plays quarterback. Do you know that is? He gets the snap from the center.

Thomas Jones: 4.4
Ahman Green: 4.4 (4.2 best)
Edgerrin James: 4.38
Willis McGahee: 4.24

Anymore questions?

It was a joke. I can't believe you didn't pick it up. Notice the "lol" in brackets. Basicly, he might as well be a RB.

All those times are BS, especially the 4.2 ones. Only elite, olympic grade players can reach the 4.2 mark.

Lomus has only 7 pounds on Vernon, but Vernon runs a 4.38. He's a lot faster than Lomus

Hey, no need to degenerate this discussion into comments like that, mate.

**J.Robinson** · 10-11-2006, 09:43 PM

lol this american football v rugby **** is ridiculous, and i think everyone should agree to disagree - i've played both and to be fair both r brutal sports and both have their pros and cons - i've grown up in england so i'm more likely to be biased towards rugby but i have the utmost respect for nfl players and im praying that the usa does actually start pushing some of the nfl rejects towards their rugby team

i see it like this - rugby: - no pads = bone jarring hits - but ppl tackle more sensibly ie with your head out of the way, no blocking therefore u against the whole team, more endurance required, each player has a greater skill range (ie being able to run, tackle, pass,kick), much dirtier tactics (ie being punched, gouged, stamped, being hit late etc is quite common)

nfl - pads = bone jarring hits also but u feel alot braver being covered head to toe in body armour + as far as i see only qb, rb te and wr actually get hit, blocking therefore every person is fair game once play has begun, more explosiveness than stamina required which adds to intensity, players r specialised for their particular skill, no continuity however which is the only serious flaw i and prob every other country outside the usa sees in it

He is not Maori.

And his ball handling skills were never too great.

And Gridiron is too slow compared to rugby...I think he would have been bored with it to be honest.

American football is for pussies, I mean all that padding noone ever even gets injured...

Wait till the 4th and 5th replays. It's better than either of the two you provided, though I do have a soft spot for the McCallum one. Enjoy!

lomus the man, wonder if he will ever make it back into allblacks quality again

Those videos are Nasty! lol

But still...the game is too slow for me to watch. I grew up playing and watching rugby which is almost non stop.

highly doubt it. not with the way the game's being played these days.
which is a shame cause he was exciting to watch. even though i hated watching him against the wallabies

**iWillShowU** · 10-11-2006, 10:38 PM

he was great in Rugby Union, but fark those guys are pussies is Union. Try out Rugby League.

i think Eric Groth Jr is similar stature. Hes around 98kg and could run 100m in 10's

hahaha dude, even NFL players on their own teams are bored. The game is so specialized nowadays that people barely play anymore.
