Who is faster?

[fishnfrank]

As we all remember, Eric Crouch was FAST and he had the moves. Now we all know that Martinez is fast, but I have a friend who is a Wolverines fan and says Robinson is faster. Who do you think wins the foot race between these two?

Martinez, but Denard is no slouch either in the speed category.

I would love to go with T Mart but I think D. Rob passes him..

 

[Saunders]

At what distance??

Ha! I was just coming to post this. I think Shoelace is faster on a short burst, but longer distances I'd probably go with Marty. Hard to say until we see them race side-by-side at halftime of the game in November. I think they're racing for pink slips - winner gets the other team's QB.

My thoughts exactly. I think overall, TM is faster, but DR has better lateral movement, which is why he makes guys miss.

Tm's 40 time - 4.5

Dr's 40 time - 4.33 100 meter - 10.44.

Sorry I dont see TM being faster then D. Rob.

Agree entirely

I wouldn't mind seeing Daniel Davie line up next to either of them.

Measured by...?

No 40 times in college are accurate. I remember reading a couple of years ago that Helu was timed running a mid 4.2 in spring ball. We all know that's not true.

I voted Martinez. Watching highlights of them both, Robinson is lightyears ahead of Martinez in "wiggle", but Martinez is a touch faster in long speed.

I just dont see T Mart out running D.Rob but thats just my 2 cents.. We will never know.

Agreed. I ran a handheld 4.59 in HS, but that doesn't really mean squat. Realistically, I was in the 4.75+ range...

I could see Roy running that time. Once. It's when a guy can run that consistently that it matters. I remember running the odd 40 time that was a tenth or two faster than the usual.

Legate would beat them both. :corndance
